Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is a biocompatible and biodegradable derivative of cellulose, making it promising material for biomedical applications. However, its poor stability in aqueous environments has significantly limited use long-term devices. Here, we present the first time simple controllable method to enhance wet CMC coatings by cross-linking polydopamine (PDA) self-polymerization PDA widespread applications A series CMC/PDA were fabricated on initial layers using dip coating...

Amygdalin a naturally occurring compound, predominantly in the bitter kernels of apricot, almond, apple and other members Rosaceae family. Though, amygdalin is used as an alternative therapy to treat various types cancer but its role pathways has rarely been explored yet. Therefore, present study was intended with aim investigate alleged anti-cancerous effects specifically on PI3K–AKT–mTOR Ras human body. Computational modelling simulation techniques were assess effect PI3K-AKT-mTOR using...

TiCu coatings with controlled copper release and nano-porous structures were fabricated as biocompatible, blood-contacting interfaces through a two-step process. Initially, 58 % Cu created using HiPIMS/DC magnetron co-sputtering, followed by immersion in dilute HF solution for varying durations to achieve dealloying. The presence of Ti elements the as-deposited facilitated their dissolution upon exposure solution, resulting formation nanopores increased nano-roughness. Dealloying treatment...

The strong association between POPs and breast cancer in humans has been suggested various epidemiological studies. However, the interaction of with ERα protein cancer, identification natural synthetic compounds to inhibit this interaction, is mysterious yet. Consequently, present study aimed explore using molecular operating environment (MOE) tool identify through a cluster-based approach. To validate whether our approach could distinguish active inactive compounds, virtual screen (VS) was...

Achromatopsia (ACHM) is a genetically heterogeneous visual disorder, also known as rod monochromatism, in which human get affected due to cone cells. Mutation five genes viz. CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2, PDE6C, and PDE6H have been reported ACHM. These encode essential constitutes of the cone-specific photo transduction cascade. Present study was focused on CNGB3 gene that accounts 40%-50% mutations all ACHM cases. A new approach for analyzing drug-drug interactions based modularity adopted. This...

Abstract Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), since its emergence from Wuhan China in December 31, 2019 is still uncontrolled and has raised attention around the globe. According to World health organization, up March 20, 2020, globally 209,839 confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported along with 8778 deaths. 2019-nCoV likely be a recombinant different coronaviruses such as SARS CoV MERS CoV. Recent developments revealed that glycosylated spike (S) protein 2019-nCov contributing significantly...
