Modified nucleosides are important biomarkers of cancers. For their analysis, boronate adsorbents were widely used to selectively capture them from urine, but often suffered from serious secondary hydrophobic interaction and harsh alkaline extraction condition. In this work, the hybrid titania-zirconia nanoparticles c…

The ability to shape-shift in response to a stimulus increases an organism's survivability in nature. Similarly, man-made dynamic and responsive "smart" microtechnology is crucial for the advancement of human technology. Here, 10-30 μm shape-changing 3D BSA protein hydrogel microstructures are fabricated with dynamic,…

BACKGROUND: Inhalation of chemotherapeutic drugs directly into the lungs augments the drug exposure to lung cancers. The inhalation of free drugs however results in over exposure and causes severe adverse effect to normal cells. In the present study, epidermal growth factor (EGF)-modified gelatin nanoparticles (EGNP)…

Many common density functional theory methods used in the study of adsorption on metals lack dispersion contributions. Formulations like the random phase approximations would mitigate this error, but they are computationally too expensive. Therefore, semiempiric treatments based on dispersion coefficients turn out to…

Magnesite is the most desirable phase within the magnesium carbonate family for carbon storage for a number of reasons: magnesium efficiency, omission of additional crystal waters and thermodynamic stability. For large-scale carbonation to be a viable industrial process, magnesite precipitation must be made to occur r…
