Polymer nanoparticles modified with collagen peptides (CPs) are an attractive strategy for the oral delivery of active ingredients from Chinese medicine.Thus, in the present study, collagen cationic CPs were simply separated using ion-exchange resin from bovine CPs, to modify mixed nanomicelles (MMs) on the surface to improve the oral bioavailabili
BACKGROUND:Nanomaterials are widely used in various fields.Although the toxicity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in pulmonary tissues has been demonstrated, the toxicological effect of CNTs on the immune system in the lung remains unclear.METHODS AND FINDING:In this study, exposure to Taquann-treated multi-walled CNTs (T-CNTs) was performed using aeroso
Background: A substantial proportion of clinical World War Two survivor offspring reports intrusions about war events they did not experience themselves.Objective: To help identify factors that contribute to the development of such indirect intrusions (i.e.intrusions about non-self-experienced traumatic events), we examined the personal characteris
This work presents a technique for dielectric property retrieval through Debye parameter reconstruction from open-ended coaxial probe (OECP) response.Debye parameters were obtained with the application of a deep learning (DL) model to the reflection coefficient response of the OECP when terminated with a material under test.The OECP was modelled wi
Biomimetic nanoparticles represent a promising avenue for mitigating rapid clearance by the reticuloendothelial system (RES); however, current challenges include insufficient tumour targeting, suboptimal adhesion, and inadequate localized drug release within tumour regions.These shortcomings contribute to persistent contests, such as recurrence and
