Mass Spectrometry-Based Analyses of Carbon Nanodots: Structural Elucidation.

Carbon nanodots (CNDs) are nanomaterials with ubiquitous applications in health for diagnosis and treatments. The key to enhancing the applications of carbon nanodots in various fields lies on how deep its structure is understood. Here, we review the mass spectroscopy (MS) techniques employed for carbon nanodot analysis.

A Perspective on Using Organic Molecules Composing Carbon Dots for Cancer Treatment.

Fluorescent Carbon dots (CDs) derived from biologically active sources have shown enhanced activities compared to their precursors. With their prominent potentiality, these small-sized (<10nm) nanomaterials could be easily synthesized from organic sources either by bottom-up or green approach. Their sources could influence the functional groups present on the CDs surfaces.

An intestinal model for monomicrobial and polymicrobial biofilms and effects of hydrolases and the Bgl2 ligand.

Background And Aim: is the most prevalent human fungal pathogen. In biofilms, becomes more resistant to antifungal agents because of the production of an extracellular matrix (ECM) that protects the yeast cells. This study aimed to determine the effects of hydrolase enzymes and the Bgl2 ligand on monomicrobial and polymicrobial biofilms.

Naproxen release behaviour from graphene oxide/cellulose acetate composite nanofibers.

The present study investigated the effect of graphene oxide in cellulose acetate-based composite nanofibers on the transdermal delivery of naproxen. The composite nanofibers were successfully produced the electrospinning process by directly mixing cellulose acetate, graphene oxide, and naproxen solution with varied compositions. The formation of the nanofibers was confirmed by electron microscopy and other characterization techniques to prove the existence of graphene oxide and naproxen itself.

A Novel 1,3-Β-Glucanase Gene from the Metagenomic Expression Library of Achatina Fulica's Digestive Gland.

1,3-β-glucanase enzyme has been proved as antibiofilm by hydrolyzing the main component of extracellular matrix of polymicrobial biofilm, to prevent resistancy during the use of antibiotics. The aim of this study is to construct a metagenomic expression library from 's digestive gland and to screen for a novel 1,3-β-glucanase genes by using its specific substrate of laminarin. A cDNA expression library was constructed using the λTriplEx2 vector in the strain XL1-Blue.

Addition of binahong () leaf powder to diets to produce eggs with low cholesterol.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of binahong leaf powder to quail rations on the production and quality of eggs.

Materials And Methods: The study involved the use of two hundred 7-week-old quails housed evenly in 20 wire cages with a body weight of 123.77±0.
