The complement system, professional phagocytes and other cells such as Natural killer mast are among the important components of innate arm immune system. These constituents provide an orchestrated array defences responses against tissue injury foreign particles, including nanopharmaceuticals. While interception nanopharmaceuticals by system is beneficial for immunomodulation treatment phagocytic cell disorders, it imperative to understand multifaceted mechanisms which interacts with...

Waste wood biomass as precursor for manufacturing activated carbon (AC) can provide a solution to ever increasing global water quality concerns. In our current work, Melia azedarach derived phosphoric acid-treated AC (MA-AC400) was manufactured at laboratory scale. This novel MA-AC400 tested RO16 dye removal performance function of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, temperature and initial concentration in batch scale arrangement. characterized via scanning electron microscopy, energy...

Eucalyptus wood is made up of lignocellulosic material; this material contains two types biopolymers, i.e., carbohydrate and aromatic polymers. In study, was used to prepare biochar. Three biochar, laboratory-based (B1), barrel-based (B2), brick kiln-biochar (B3), were for fluoride arsenic removal from aqueous solution. Barrel-based biochar prepared by using the two-barrel method's alteration. The highest (99%) attained at pH 2 in presence B1, while B2 B3, maximum 90% 45.7%, respectively. At...

Abstract Cr(VI) adsorption was studied for abundantly available low-cost lignocellulosic adsorbents in Pakistan namely, tobacco stalks (TS), white cedar stem (WCS) and eucalyptus bark (EB). Several process variables like contact time, adsorbent dose, pH, metal concentration, particle size temperature were optimized batch mode. EB showed high of 63.66% followed by WCS 62% TS 57% at pH 2, which is higher than most the reported literature. Langmuir isotherm (R 2 = 0.999) well fitted into...

Abstract Development of diabetic cataract is mainly associated with the accumulation sorbitol via polyol pathway through action Aldose reductase (AR). Hence, AR inhibitors are considered as potential agents in management cataract. This study explored inhibition Hemidesmus indicus var. pubescens root extract by silico and ex vivo methods. Molecular docking studies (Auto Dock tool) between β-sitosterol, hemidesminine, hemidesmin-1, hemidesmin-2, showed that β-sitosterol (− 10.2 kcal/mol)...

The contribution of the complement system to non-specific host defence and maintenance homeostasis is well appreciated. Many particulate systems trigger activation but underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Activation cascade could lead particle opsonisation by cleavage products third protein might promote inflammatory reactions. Antibody binding in a controlled manner and/or sensing particles pattern-recognition molecules such as C1q mannose-binding lectin can activation....

A peptide-based hydrogel sequence was computationally predicted from the Ala-rich cross-linked domains of elastin. Three candidate peptides were subsequently synthesised and characterised as potential drug delivery vehicles. The elastin-derived are Fmoc-FFAAAAKAA-NH2, Fmoc-FFAAAKAA-NH2, Fmoc-FFAAAKAAA-NH2. All three peptide sequences able to self-assemble into nanofibers. However, only first two could form hydrogels, which preferred systems compared solutions. Both these also exhibited...
