Protein Based Nanostructures for Drug Delivery
Journal of Pharmaceutics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 The key role of protein based nanostructures has recently revolutionized the nanomedicine era. Protein nanoparticles have turned out to be the major grounds for the transformation of different properties of many conventional materials by virtue of their size and greater surface area which instigates them to be more reactive to some other molecules ...

Neutrophil elastase in bronchiectasis
Respiratory Research, 2017 The role of neutrophil elastase (NE) is poorly understood in bronchiectasis because of the lack of preclinical data and so most of the assumptions made about NE inhibitor potential benefit is based on data from CF.

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Neutrophils are important effector cells of antimicrobial immunity in an acute inflammatory response, with a primary role in the clearance of extracellular pathogens. However, in respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), there is excessive infiltration and activation of neutrophils, subsequent production of ...

Vitamin K deficiency: the linking pin between COPD and cardiovascular diseases?
Respiratory Research, 2017 Cardiovascular diseases are prevalent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Their coexistence implies that many COPD patients require anticoagulation therapy. Although more and more replaced by direct oral anticoagulants, vitamin

Advanced Materials, Volume 36, Issue 42, October 17, 2024.This literature review examines the pivotal roles and applications of autofluorophores—endogenous fluorescent compounds intrinsic to all tissues. The utility of their assessment is explored in non‐invasive, label‐free clinical assessments for disease detection, surgical guidance, and continuous in vivo tissue characterization, highlighting their ...

Factors determining persistent asymmetry and egg shape in birds: A hypothesis
Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 2, Page 551-559, April 2024.The shape of birds' eggs has fascinated scientists for many years. It is now possible mathematically to describe shape accurately, allowing exploration of the physical and ecological factors driving the evolution of egg shape. However, there has been relatively little consideration of how egg shape is established in the oviduct or, given that even ...
