Preparation of alginate/vermiculite composite functionalized with silanol group for controlled drug delivery: Effect of CaCl concentration, release kinetics, cytotoxicity, and antimicrobial activities.

In this study, alginate/vermiculite (Alg/VMT) hydrogel with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (Alg/VSN) and tetraethoxysilane (Alg/VS) synthesized with various concentrations of CaCl (10 %-15 %-20 % M) to extend the release of 6-Aminopenicillanic acid (AP). Composites characterized by XRD, FTIR and BET. The result of Alg/VS composite shows an excellent loading of 243.

Regulatory miR-SNP rs4636297A > G in miR-126 is linked to increased risk of rigidity feature in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Introduction: A growing body of strong evidence shows that the dysfunction of miRNAs plays key roles in the development and progression of Parkinson's disease (PD), however, little data has been reported on the association of their SNPs with PD susceptibility. In this study, we investigated the association of regulatory miR-SNP rs4636297A > G with a functional effect on the expression of miRNA-126, as a key dysregulated miRNA in the PD, with the susceptibility and clinical features of the PD.

Methods And Materials: In current study, we included a population consisting of 120 patients with PD and 120 clinically healthy individuals, and their blood samples were taken.

Matrix metalloproteinase/Fas ligand (MMP/FasL) interaction dynamics in COVID-19: An study and neuroimmune perspective.

Background: The initiator of cytokine storm in Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is still unknown. We recently suggested a complex interaction of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), Fas ligand (FasL), and viral entry factors could be responsible for the cytokine outrage In COVID-19. We explored the molecular dynamics of FasL/MMP7-9 in COVID-19 conditions and provide neuroimmune insights for future.

Assessment of chromite ore wastes for methylene blue adsorption: Isotherm, kinetic, thermodynamic studies, ANN, and statistical physics modeling.

This research investigates the adsorption potential of chrysotile and lizardite, two minerals derived from chromite ore wastes, for the uptake of Methylene Blue (MB) dye from waste streams. The characterization of these minerals involves XRD, XRF, FTIR, and SEM. Results confirm the dominance of polymorphic magnesium silicate minerals, specifically chrysotile and lizardite, in the samples.
