Nanocellulose: From Fundamentals to Advanced Applications

Djalal Trache, Ahmed Fouzi Tarchoun, Mehdi Derradji et al. · 6 May 2020

Over the past few years, nanocellulose (NC), cellulose in the form of nanostructures, has been proved to be one of the most prominent green materials of modern times. NC materials have gained growing interests owing to their attractive and excellent characteristics such as abundance, high aspect ratio, better mechanical properties, renewability, and biocompatibility. The abundant…

Nanomaterials for biosensing applications: a review

Michael Holzinger, Alan Le Goff, Serge Cosnier · 27 Aug 2014

A biosensor device is defined by its biological, or bioinspired receptor unit with unique specificities toward corresponding analytes. These analytes are often of biological origin like DNAs of bacteria or viruses, or proteins which are generated from the immune system (antibodies, antigens) of infected or contaminated living organisms. Such analytes can also be simple molecules…

Synthetic Polymer Contamination in Bottled Water

Sherri A. Mason, Victoria G. Welch, Joseph Neratko · 11 Sep 2018

Eleven globally sourced brands of bottled water, purchased in 19 locations in nine different countries, were tested for microplastic contamination using Nile Red tagging. Of the 259 total bottles processed, 93% showed some sign of microplastic contamination. After accounting for possible background (lab) contamination, an average of 10.4 microplastic particles >100 um in size per…

Oxidative stress, free radicals and antioxidants: potential crosstalk in the pathophysiology of human diseases

Priya Chaudhary, Pracheta Janmeda, Anca Oana Docea et al. · 10 May 2023

Introduction: Free radicals are reactive oxygen species that constantly circulate through the body and occur as a side effect of many reactions that take place in the human body. Under normal conditions, they are removed from the body by antioxidant processes. If these natural mechanisms are disrupted, radicals accumulate in excess and contribute to the…

Gold Nanoparticles for Photothermal Cancer Therapy

Jeremy B. Vines, Jee-Hyun Yoon, Na-Eun Ryu et al. · 5 Apr 2019

Gold is a multifunctional material that has been utilized in medicinal applications for centuries because it has been recognized for its bacteriostatic, anticorrosive, and antioxidative properties. Modern medicine makes routine, conventional use of gold and has even developed more advanced applications by taking advantage of its ability to be manufactured at the nanoscale and functionalized…
