Nanoparticles from plant proteins are preferred over carbohydrates and synthetic polymeric-based materials for food, medical and other applications. In addition to their large availability and relatively low cost, plant proteins offer higher possibilities for surface modifications and functionalizing various biomolecules for specific applications. Plant proteins also avoid the immunogenic responses associated with the use of animal proteins.

Continental glacier melts directly influence the environment, resulting in sea-level rise affecting the settlements along the coast. The increase in global warming and constant change in the glacier mass grabbed the attention of researchers in understanding the evolution and distribution of glaciers. Despite the increase in the number of glacier studies, the difficulty is experienced by the researchers in understanding the supra-glacial debris cover and its characteristics.

Silk has remained the most preferred protein fiber since its discovery in 3000 BC. However, the cost, availability, and resources required to rear the silkworms and process silk are imposing considerable constraints on the future of silk. It is often unrealized that apart from the fibers, production and processing of silk are a source for a diverse range of sustainable, biodegradable, and biocompatible polymers.

Three-dimensional (3D) nanofibrous scaffolds are at the forefront of tissue engineering research. However, owing to the compact geometries or unstable reserved pores, the scaffolds produced by the current techniques provide limited in-depth cell infiltration, leaving the regeneration of 3D tissues a major challenge. Herein, we have developed a novel single-step 3D electrospinning technique to create 3D rope-like or cloud-like nanofibrous scaffolds by introducing 0 to 0.

Chitin and chitosan from silkworm pupae and egg shells show distinct properties with excellent antimicrobial properties and cytocompatiblity. Spent silkworm pupae and hatched egg shells are discarded as waste but contain valuable carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Chitosan has excellent antimicrobial properties and is widely used for food, medical and biotechnological applications.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive decline of cognitive abilities. Amyloid beta peptides (Aβ), Tau proteins and the phosphorylated form of the Tau protein, p-Tau, are the core pathological biomarkers of the disease, and their detection for the diagnosis of patients is progressively being implemented. However, to date, their quantification is mostly performed on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the collection of which requires an invasive lumbar puncture.

Background: Culture of cells and tissues is a standard research method practiced in many laboratories. In most of the cases, these cultures are being used as substrates for cell products or as investigative tools for delving the mechanism of gene expression, cell proliferation and transformation. Primary monolayer cell culture has been beneficial to study the general biology of both oral and skin keratinocytes.

A mixture of Cu (10%) and Fe (1 to 9%) was deposited on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and mesoporous carbon (MC). The catalytic activity was investigated in a reaction between carboxylic acids/esters and aromatic amines. The physico-chemical properties of the materials were characterized by different analytical techniques such as powder XRD (X-ray diffraction), BET (brunauer emmett teller) surface area, XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), TPD-NH₃ (thermal desorption spectroscopy), SEM-EDS (scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy).

The three-dimensional (3D) ultrafine fibrous scaffolds loaded with functional components can not only provide support to 3D tissue repair, but also deliver the components in-situ with small dosage and low fusion frequency. However, the conventional loading methods possess drawbacks such as low loading capacity or high burst release. In this research, an ultralow concentration phase separation (ULCPS) technique was developed to form 3D ultrafine gelatin fibers and, meanwhile, load an anti-inflammatory drug, diclofenac, with high capacities for the long-term delivery.

Natural cellulose fibers were extracted from a fast growing perennial grass Eulaliopsis binata (commonly known as Sabai) and characterized for their structure and properties. The untreated sabai grass has been used as reinforcement for polypropylene composites and properties of the composites have been investigated. Although the composition of the sabai grass is typical to other lignocellulosic sources, there is a high content of flavonoids (630 mg/g) and phenols (510 mg/g) which provides high antibacterial, and antifungal properties to the fibers and composites developed.

Regenerative medicine encompasses new emerging branch of medical sciences that involves the functional restoration of tissues or organs caused by severe injuries or chronic diseases. Currently, there are two contending technologies that can repair and restore the damaged tissues, namely platelet-rich plasma (PRP)- and stem cell (SC)-based therapies. PRP is a component of blood that contains platelet concentrations above the normal level and includes platelet-related growth factors and plasma-derived fibrinogen.

Misfolding of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) into insoluble aggregates is associated with Type 2 diabetes. It has been suggested that hIAPP toxicity may be due to its accumulation in pancreatic islets, causing membrane disruption and cell permeabilization, however the molecular basis underlying its lipid association are still unclear. Here, we combine solid-state NMR, fluorescence and bright field microscopy to investigate hIAPP - lipid membrane interactions.

In this research, sustainable and green bioproducts with controlled sorption and good mechanical properties have been developed from chitosan for commercial applications. Addition of citric acid, a biocompatible crosslinker, and later treating with alkali imparts excellent tensile strength and aqueous stability to the chitosan films. Films were developed from chitosan and studied for their sorption capabilities, mechanical properties, oxygen/water vapour transmission rates and antimicrobial abilities.
