Abstract Albendazole (ABZ), a well-established antiparasitic drug, has been shown to suppress tumor growth in a number of preclinical models of cancer. However, the low solubility of ABZ limits its use as a systemic anticancer agent. To enable systemic administration, we have formulated ABZ into albumin nanoparticles…

The model organism for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) biosynthesis, Ralstonia eutropha H16, possesses multiple isoenzymes of granules coating phasins as well as of PHB depolymerases, which degrade accumulated PHB under conditions of carbon limitation. In this study, recombinant Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) strains were used…

Poly(1,4-butylene adipate) (PBA), poly( l -lactic acid) (PLLA), and poly( d -lactic acid) (PDLA) are biodegradable and environmentally friendly polymers. PLLA- and PDLA-formed stereocomplex crystallites (SCs) by solvent-casting served as nucleating agents of PBA. The isothermal crystallization kinetics and morphology…

During sintering of tape cast products, anisotropic shrinkage occurs, which can be attributed to an anisotropic green tape structure concerning particle and pore orientation. Little is known about the shrinkage during binder burnout ( BBO ) and its relation to the microstructure of green tapes including the binder–pla…

Large metal-oxo clusters consistently assume spherical or regular polyhedral morphologies rather than high-aspect-ratio structures. Access to elongated core structures has now been achieved by the reaction of lanthanoid salts with a tetrazole-functionalized calixarene in the presence of a simple carboxylate co-ligand.…

By measuring the curvature of thin disks of vitreous silica that have been penetrated by water from one side only, we determined the volume expansion of the silica and the effect of this volume expansion on its strength. We found that the water‐strengthening process depended on crack‐size, temperature, and the amount…
