Synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with plant extracts has gained great interest in the field biomedicine due to its wide variety health applications. In present work, AuNPs were synthesized Mimosa tenuiflora (Mt) bark extract at different metallic precursor concentrations. Mt was obtained by mixing tree ethanol-water. The antioxidant capacity evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and total polyphenol assay. characterized transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction,...
Abstract In this work we use Mimosa tenuiflora (MtE) extracts as reducing agents to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgMt NPs) which were characterized by DPPH and Total Polyphenols Assays, UV–visible, X-ray diffractometer (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). AgMt NPs possess average sizes of 21 nm fcc crystalline structure, it was also confirmed that the MtE is present in even after cleaning...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to insufficient early screening and monitoring. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. This study investigated diagnostic miRNAs in Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) from HCC. miRNA EVs was analyzed using HCC cell lines, circulating a Diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced tumor rat model, plasma samples patients. Receiver Operating...
Due to their biocompatibility and non-toxicity, biopolymer-based films hold significant importance in bioengineering. It is imperative comprehend the influence of chitosan molecular weight filler materials nature on crystalline structure subsequent effect film properties.

Four probe measurements demonstrated that medium-molecular-weight...
The compaction of DNA by cationic liposomes constituted a mixture lipid, dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB), and zwitterionic 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) or 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPC), has been evaluated means experimental studies (electrophoretic mobility, conductometry, cryogenic electron transmission microscopy cryo-TEM, fluorescence spectroscopy) as well theoretical calculations. This information reveals that DODAB/DOPE...
We present experimental and simulation evidence for a new mechanism of charge reversal operating only ions capable to penetrate into soft interfaces. It is based on the preferential solvation counterions by amphiphilic molecules hydration water rather than bulk water. This does not require high surface densities it affected addition 1:1 salt. behavior opposite that observed in systems as diverse microfluidic channels or latex colloids. The robustness physiological amounts salt suggests...
In this work, we used a sequential method of synthesis for gold-silver bimetallic nanoparticles with core@shell structure (Au@AgNPs). Rumex hymenosepalus root extract (Rh), which presents high content in catechins and stilbenes, was as reductor agent synthesis. Size distribution obtained by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) gives mean diameter 36 ± 11 nm Au@AgNPs, 24 4 gold (AuNPs), 13 3 silver (AgNPs). The geometrical shapes NPs were principally quasi-spherical. thickness the shell...
The objective of this research work is to understand the effect surface charge density on reversal phenomenon. To end, we use experimental results and computer simulations. In particular, measure electrophoretic mobility latex particles (macroions) in presence a multivalent electrolyte. We have focused electrolyte concentration range at which expected happen. role process looked into from several latexes with same functional group but different densities. Although mechanism responsible for...
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive lung disease. Lesions in the epithelium cause alterations microenvironment that promote fibroblast accumulation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) transport proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, such as microRNAs (miRNAs).
