In this review, the main properties of olive mill solid waste, primary by-product oil production, and its feasibility as a feedstock for anaerobic digesters operating at laboratory-, pilot- industrial-scales are discussed in detail. Nutrient addition thermal pretreatments were found to have potential address challenges arising from high carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, low pH, concentration phenolic compounds. Furthermore, co-digestion with different organic feedstocks has been identified one most...
Minimally invasive medical treatments for peripheral nerve stimulation are critically needed to minimize surgical risks, enhance the precision of therapeutic interventions, and reduce patient recovery time. Magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs), known their unique ability respond both magnetic electric fields, offer promising potential medicine due dual tunable functionality. In this study a multi-physics modeling MENPs was performed, assessing capability be targeted through external fields...
In this study, hydrogels were produced using a Schiff base reaction between two hyaluronic acid derivatives: one containing aldehyde groups (HA-Ald) and the other holding diethylenetriamine with terminal amino (HA-DETA). The DETA portion promotes in situ growth, complexation, stabilization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), eliminating need for external reducing agents. HA-DETA HA-Ald leads to formation imine bonds, which results dynamically pH-responsive cross-linking. While capping ability...
Ureteral stents are among the most frequently used human implants, with urothelium trauma, blood clots, and bacterial colonization being their main reasons for failure. In this study, berberine-loaded zein (ZB) nanoparticles high drug encapsulation efficiency (>90 %) were fabricated via electrospray on flat 3D stainless steel structures. Physico-chemical characterization revealed that ZB created a highly hydrophilic, antioxidant, scratch-resistant continuous coating over metal structure....
Carbon dots are fluorescent nanomaterials with interesting optical properties and good biocompatibility that can be fabricated from many carbon sources. In the present work, we have produced non-woven cotton waste, following an ecological strategy, easy to scale up. The possess strong photoluminescence (PL), they chemically very stable biocompatible. We investigated their photocatalytic under visible–near IR light irradiation, consequently antibacterial these conditions, using as a model...
Abstract Magnetoelectric (ME) materials, especially in the form of core–shell nanoparticles, have gained increasing attention for their potential bioengineering applications. In particular, cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ) and barium titanate (BaTiO 3 nanoparticles stand out due to strong Magneto‐Electric properties. This perspective examines evolution state art on CoFe ‐BaTiO ME (MENPs), describing different methodologies adopted measure coefficient (α), main critical parameter correlated with...
Zein-based biodegradable bilayer coatings were successfully prepared and characterized. Release profiles, antioxidant potential, biocompatibility investigated, aiming for more sustainable drug-eluting stents.
Biodegradable stent coatings have shown great potential in terms of delivering drugs to a damaged vessel wall, and their release profiles are key elements governing the overall performance drug-eluting stents (DESs). However, degradation kinetics usually not tested under simulated physiological conditions or dynamic environments, both essential aspects design novel DESs. To bridge this gap, fused silica-based microfluidic systems, with either round square channel cross-sections, were...
Inflammatory cytokines cooperate to maintain normal immune homeostasis, performing both a protective and pro-inflammatory action in different body districts. However, their excessive persistence or deregulated expression may degenerate into tissue chronic inflammatory status. Advanced therapies should be designed deploy selective cytokine neutralizers the affected tissues. Magnetoelectric nanoparticles (MENPs) possess unexploited potentialities, conjugating ferromagnetic nature, which...
Periodontal regeneration is extremely limited and unpredictable due to structural complications, as it requires the simultaneous restoration of different tissues, including cementum, gingiva, bone, periodontal ligament. In this work, spray-dried microparticles based on green materials (polysaccharides – gums - a protein silk fibroin) are proposed be implanted in pocket 3D scaffolds during non-surgical treatments, prevent progression disease promote healing mild periodontitis. Arabic or...
Diabetes is rising as one of the most diffused diseases century with related urgent necessity to face its systemic and local effects on patients, such cardiovascular problems, degeneration limbs, dysfunction wound healing process. The diffusion leg ulcers has been estimated be 1.51 for 1000 population, these non-resolved wounds can produce several social, economic, mental health issues in diabetic patients. At same time, people experience neuropathic pain that causes morbidity a further...
