Essential Oil Components Incorporated Emulsion Hydrogels for Eradicating Dermatophytosis Caused by Pathogenic Fungi Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis.

Dermatophytosis is a prevalent fungal infection and public health burden, majorly caused by the attack of zoophilic fungi genera of Trichophyton and Microsporum. Among them, T. mentagrophytes and M.

Polytyrosine-Coated Paper Electrode for Sensitive and Selective Sensing of NADH.

Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-detecting electrochemical sensors are attractive in monitoring and diagnosing various physiological disorders of NADH abnormalities. The NADH detection methods using conventional electrodes are challenging due to slow electron transfer and fouling effect. Interestingly, paper-based flexible and disposable electrodes (PE) are superior for sensing biomolecules through simple detection procedures with excellent sensitivity and selectivity.

Recent developments in stimuli-responsive polymer nanogels for drug delivery and diagnostics: A review.

Polymer nanogels (NGs) are water-swellable, cross-linked 3D network structures with size typically range from 1 to 1000 nm. Especially, biocompatible and "smart" NGs engineered from stimuli-responsive polymers are attractive because of its capability to respond the endogenous biological triggers of pH, bioreduction, biomolecule recognition, as well as the exogenous stimuli-triggers like temperature and light. Importantly, on exposing to these physical or biochemical signals, the responsive NGs can be utilized for therapeutic delivery and diagonostic applications.
