Lignocellulosic Biomass for the Fabrication of Triboelectric Nano-Generators (TENGs)-A Review.

Growth in population and increased environmental awareness demand the emergence of new energy sources with low environmental impact. Lignocellulosic biomass is mainly composed of cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose. These materials have been used in the energy industry for the production of biofuels as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

Future of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles in Nanomedicine: Protocol for Reproducible Synthesis, Characterization, Lipid Coating, and Loading of Therapeutics (Chemotherapeutic, Proteins, siRNA and mRNA).

Owing to their uniform and tunable particle size, pore size, and shape, along with their modular surface chemistry and biocompatibility, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have found extensive applications as nanocarriers to deliver therapeutic, diagnostic and combined "theranostic" cargos to cells and tissues. Although thoroughly investigated, MSN have garnered FDA approval for only one MSN system via oral administration. One possible reason is that there is no recognized, reproducible, and widely adopted MSN synthetic protocol, meaning not all MSNs are created equal in the laboratory nor in the eyes of the FDA.
