Regulation of Antigen‐Specific Immunotherapy with Nanomaterials

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 3, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
This review represents the latest progress in the development of intelligent nanomaterials that regulate antigen‐specific immunotherapy to eliminate non‐self‐cancer cells and attenuate aberrant immune response‐mediated self‐damage. Nonspecific immunotherapies often induce general immune activation or suppression.

Applications of Metallic Nanoparticles in the Skin Cancer Treatment

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Skin cancer is one of leading cancers globally, divided into two major categories including melanoma and nonmelanoma. Skin cancer is a global concern with an increasing trend, hence novel therapies are essential. The local treatment strategies play a key role in skin cancer therapy. Nanoparticles (NPs) exert potential applications in medicine with huge

Reflective Coloration from Structural Plasmonic to Disordered Polarizonic

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 2, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021
Here, a novel insight on reflective coloration at visible frequencies arising from ordered metallic “structured” plasmonic materials versus disordered mediums with specular reflection peaks is presented. While shedding the light on the static and dynamic colors, an emphasis on the newly introduced polarizonic resonance phenomenon, which emerges from ...

Poly‐ε‐Lysine or Mel4 Antimicrobial Surface Modification on a Novel Peptide Hydrogel Bandage Contact Lens

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 7, Issue 21, November 5, 2020., 2020
The antimicrobial activity of a poly‐ε‐lysine (pεK)–based hydrogel can be enhanced by attachment of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The AMPs, Mel4, or additional pεK, are covalently attached to the hydrogel using carbodiimide chemistry. Hydrogel lenses demonstrate antimicrobial activity in vitro and in an ex vivo porcine corneal infection model ...

A Review on Gelatin Based Hydrogels for Medical Textile Applications

Journal of Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer networks that absorb any kind of liquid including biological fluids. Natural polymers and their derivatives along with synthetic polymers are used to form the hydrogels. Networks that constitute the hydrogels are created by the crosslinking of either synthesized polymers starting from monomers or already developed ...

Application and Analysis of an Ionic Liquid Gel in a Soft Robot

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Due to their light weight, flexibility, and low energy consumption, ionic electroactive polymers have become a hotspot for bionic soft robotics and are ideal materials for the preparation of soft actuators. Because the traditional ionic electroactive polymers, such as ionic polymer‐metal composites (IPMCs), contain water ions, a soft actuator does not ...

Formulations of Amlodipine: A Review

Journal of Pharmaceutics, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Amlodipine (AD) is a calcium channel blocker that is mainly used in the treatment of hypertension and angina. However, latest findings have revealed that its efficacy is not only limited to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases as it has shown to possess antioxidant activity and plays an important role in apoptosis. Therefore, it is also employed in
