Graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNMs) are widely used in various industrial and biomedical applications. GBNMs of different compositions, size and shapes are being introduced without thorough toxicity evaluation due to the ...

We study the influence of phosphorylation on the foamability and stability of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), phosphorylated BSA (pBSA) and citrus peel pectin (CPP) mixed foams as a function of BSA – CPP, pBSA – CPP mixing ...

The continuously changing properties of our environment require constant monitoring of our actions and updating of our motor commands based on the task goals. Such updating relies upon our predictions about the sensory ...

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disease, which is characterized by non-cancerous tumors in multi-organ systems in the body. Mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes are known to cause the disease. The resultant ...

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder which is characterized by the deposits of intra-cellular tau protein and extra-cellular amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in the human brain. ...

Flavonols are the most widely distributed class of dietary flavonoids with a wide range of pharmacological properties due to their potent lipid peroxidation inhibition activity. The permeability and orientation of these ...

The neurotoxicity of inhaled ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, ZnO NPs (30 � 6 nm) were intranasally instilled to rats via a single dose (13 mg Zn/kg BW), with ...
