Gemcitabine (Gem) is a well-known antineoplastic drug used for several solid tumors. The clinical application of gem is hampered owing to non-selectivity, short half-life, and drug resistance, which necessitate the development of a suitable novel formulation that can selectively target cancer sites. In the present work, Gem-loaded bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (Gem-BSANPs) have been prepared and coated with hyaluronic acid (HA-Gem-BSANPs).

Several vaccines are developed against global pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However these subunit vaccines use mammalian expression system, hence mass production with rapid pace is a bigger challenge.

The recently developed freeze-thaw-based inclusion body protein solubilization method has received a great deal of attention due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. The present report investigates the reproducibility, efficiency, and plausible mechanism of the freeze-thaw-based IB solubilization.
