Targeted drug delivery systems are employed to administer pharmaceutical medication, facilitating the precise delivery of drugs to specific diseased areas. Various delivery methods utilize carriers such as antibodies, transdermal patches, biodegradable polymers, nanoparticles (NPs), liposomes, niosomes, and microspheres. Niosomes, on the other hand, represent a promising and innovative category of vesicular syste Read More

Increased environmental occurrences of nanoparticles are reported to be hazardous to aquatic life. The uptake of nano pollutants poses a significant impact on fish behaviour, reproductive function, endocrine system, and immune response, among other physiological factors. The review article highlighted various factors that are involved in nanotoxicity and also listed out the effects and mechanisms of nanoparticle Read More

The human population ranks third in the occurrence of colorectal cancer (CRC). Cancer of the colon typically begins as a normal polyp on the colon or rectum's inner wall but can progress to cancer if left untreated. Early detection of CRC may be crucial in preventative and therapeutic measures to lower the death rate, even if there are few treatment options for CRC. Several molecular markers are present in CRC-affected tissues, Read More

PurposeThis study aimed to characterize commercial nanofiltration membranes (NF90 and NP010) by determining their membrane parameters and estimating osmotic pressure using the virial equation.MethodsA comparison has been conducted using the Van't Hoff equation for both dilute and concentrated mixtures. Membrane parameters (σ, Ps, and ks) have been experimentally obtained, and osmotic pressure has been c Read More
