Recent advances of two-dimensional materials in smart drug delivery nano-systems

Smart drug delivery nano-systems show significant changes in their physical or chemical properties in response to slight change in environmental physical and/or chemical signals, and further releasing drugs adjusted to the progression of th...

Adsorption of Nucleic Acid Bases, Ribose, and Phosphate by Some Clay Minerals

Besides having a large capacity for taking up organic molecules, clay minerals can catalyze a variety of organic reactions. Derived from rock weathering, clay minerals would have been abundant in the early Earth. As such, they might be expe...

A review on green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles

Abstract Nanoparticles and Nanostructured materials are playing an ever-important role in affordable healthcare, environment remediation, renewable energy, agriculture, consumer electronics, cosmetics etc. However, progress in these sectors...

The Coming of Materials Science

The Coming of Materials Science , Robert W. Cahn Pergamon, New York, 2001. $64.00 (568 pp.). isbn 0-08-042679-4 If one takes the broadest view, a significant fraction of modern-day physicists are materials scientists. Similarly, many chemis...

Explainable machine learning in materials science

Abstract Machine learning models are increasingly used in materials studies because of their exceptional accuracy. However, the most accurate machine learning models are usually difficult to explain. Remedies to this problem lie in explaina...

A review on the role of materials science in solar cells

Phase-field models in materials science

The phase-field method is reviewed against its historical and theoretical background. Starting from Van der Waals considerations on the structure of interfaces in materials the concept of the phase-field method is developed along historical...

Materials Science of Synthetic Membranes

Material science aspects of synthetic polymeric membranes are presented in this survey. The objective is to place each of the subsequent chapters of this volume into proper perspective. Therefore, frequent reference is made to the accompany...

Big data and machine learning for materials science

Herein, we review aspects of leading-edge research and innovation in materials science that exploit big data and machine learning (ML), two computer science concepts that combine to yield computational intelligence. ML can accelerate the so...

Materials science of DNA

This article critically reviews the emerging field of DNA materials science, which is expected to add a new horizon to the conventional materials science landscape. The introduction provides a short overview on recent developments in the no...

Materials for Total Hip Joint Prostheses: Biaxial Flexural Strength of Two Ceramic Systems

Total hip joint replacement is one of the most successful orthopaedic surgeries in the last decade. Essential part of total hip joint prostheses is the mobile joint “hemispherical head - hemispherical cup”. Functional properties and durabil...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: Addressing the current and future therapeutic advances along with the role of Sotatercept in the management of pulmonary hypertension

Abstract Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and debilitating lung disease characterized by irreversible scarring of the lungs. The cause of IPF is unknown, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic a...

Biocompatible Nanocarriers for Enhanced Cancer Photodynamic Therapy Applications

In recent years, the role of nanotechnology in drug delivery has become increasingly important, and this field of research holds many potential benefits for cancer treatment, particularly, in achieving cancer cell targeting and reducing the...

The Emerging Role of Nanomedicine in the Management of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A State-of-the-Art Review

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease that can lead to end-stage liver disease needing a liver transplant. Many pharmacological approaches are used to reduce the disease progression in NAFLD. However, cu...

Advances of medical nanorobots for future cancer treatments

Abstract Early detection and diagnosis of many cancers is very challenging. Late stage detection of a cancer always leads to high mortality rates. It is imperative to develop novel and more sensitive and effective diagnosis and therapeutic ...

Review on nanocomposite materials from cellulose, chitosan, alginate, and lignin for removal and recovery of nutrients from wastewater

Nutrient enrichment of the aquatic system promotes eutrophication, which degrades the aesthetic and economic value of water systems. On the other hand, the global supply of nutrients such as phosphate is dwindling. Hence, from the viewpoint...

The role of exosomes in peripheral nerve regeneration

Peripheral nerve injuries remain problematic to treat, with poor functional recovery commonly observed. Injuries resulting in a nerve gap create specific difficulties for axonal regeneration. Approaches to address these difficulties include...
