Development of chitosan/halloysite/graphitic‑carbon nitride nanovehicle for targeted delivery of quercetin to enhance its limitation in cancer therapy: An in vitro cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cells.

Although quercetin (QC) has valuable advantages, its low water solubility and poor permeability have limited its utilization as an anticancer drug. In this study, hydrogel nanocomposite of chitosan (CS), halloysite (HNT), and graphitic‑carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was prepared and loaded by QC using a water in oil in water emulsification process to attain QC sustained-release. Using g-C3N4 in the HNT/CS hydrogel solution enhanced the entrapment effectiveness (EE %) by up to 86 %.

Optimization of rPDT fusion protein expression by Escherichia coli in pilot scale fermentation: a statistical experimental design approach.

High yield recombinant protein production is highly desirable for biotechnological purposes. In the design of recombinant expression conditions, a number of essential central elements such as expression strain, type of medium, bioprocess optimization, and mathematical modeling should be considered. Well-designed industrial scale production of one recombinant protein with optimized influential parameters and yield can address the cost and production reproducibility issues.
