Poly(vinyl alcohol) Embedded with Montmorillonite Clay and Nano Titania: A Scale-Up for Sustainable Environmental Remediation.

A poly(vinyl alcohol)/montmorillonite/titania (PVA/MMT/TiO) nanocomposite film was fabricated via a simple solution casting strategy for the removal of cationic as well as anionic dyes. The developed nanocomposite film was subjected to X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), mechanical property evaluation, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The embedding of MMT and TiO nanoparticles onto a PVA matrix has been confirmed from XRD, FTIR, and SEM analysis.

Buffalo colostrum peptide mitigates Parkinson's disease pathophysiology through Cullin-3 inhibition.

Colostrum/Milk is a chief repertoire of antioxidant peptides. Nuclear factor-erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a viable target for Parkinson's Disease (PD), as this pathway deduced to be impaired in PD. Cullin-3 is one of the crucial E3 ligase responsible for its regulation.

Recent trends and advances in polyindole-based nanocomposites as potential antimicrobial agents: a mini review.

Infections caused by multi-drug resistant microbes are a big challenge to the medical field and it necessitates the need for new biomedical agents that can act as potential candidates against these pathogens. Several polyindole based nanocomposites were found to exhibit the ability to release reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hence they show excellent antimicrobial properties. The features of polyindole can be fine-tuned to make them potential alternatives to antibiotics and antifungal medicines.

Role of nanocellulose in industrial and pharmaceutical sectors - A review.

Lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural residues serves as the critical component to replace synthetic polymeric materials in the coming future. Agricultural residues can be used to obtain cellulose by delignification followed by bleaching. Further, cellulose is converted into nanocellulose by various methods.

Milk Peptides as Novel Multi-Targeted Therapeutic Candidates for SARS-CoV2.

The COVID-19, an acute respiratory syndrome caused by SARS-CoV2 is a major catastrophic event of the twenty first century. Relentless efforts for the development of effective pharmaco-therapeutics are in progress but the respite is the development of effective vaccines. However, monotherapy might not always exhibit complete efficacy and may culminate in the rapid evolution of drug-resistant viral strains.
