Pharmaceutical manufacturers face growing challenges in ensuring product quality, maintaining regulatory compliance, and safeguarding against counterfeit drugs. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is an important tool in this arena, offering rapid, non-destructive analysis for raw material identification, impurity detection, and counterfeit screening. By integrating ...
Imagine a world where diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's could be diagnosed and treated at the molecular level, long before symptoms even appear. This is the promise of fluorescent biopolymers, a revolutionary new class of materials that could transform the field of biomedical research. What Are Fluorescent Biopolymers? At their core, biopolymers are simply long chains of ...

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), as emerging anticancer drugs, can deliver highly cytotoxic molecules directly to cancer cells to kill them. ADC is a monoclonal antibody covalently bound to cytotoxic chemical substances (payload) through linker. ADC linker plays a key role in the therapeutic effect of ADC, and its characteristics greatly affect the therapeutic index, pharmacodynamics and ...
The saying «cleanliness is next to godliness» has been around for centuries. The implication is that the act of keeping our clothing, living spaces, belongings, and of course our own bodies clean elevates us above other animals, and by extension, our own baser instincts. Aside from this, it is well-known that diseases flourish in unclean conditions, and it is in our best interest as a ...

Chitin is the second largest natural polymer after cellulose, and it exists widely in nature, such as shells of crustaceans such as shrimps, crabs, insects, and cell walls of fungi. Although chitin has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, its poor solubility limits its practicality in the field of biomedicine. The product of chitin deacetylation is chitosan. Chitosan is structurally ...
Gold nanocages refer to the hollow gold nanostructures with porous walls that were developed by Sun and Xia and Chen et al. in the early 2000s. The hollow and porous structures are synthesized by the galvanic replacement between silver nanocubes and chloroauric acid in aqueous solution. By controlling the size of nanocube templates, the monodispersed cubic nanocages are readily obtained with ...

Further, the peak emission of approximately 520 nm is not optimum for ultra-sensitive detectors, with Si-photodiodes peaking further into the near-infrared (NIR) around 800 – 900 nm, photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) peaking further towards the ultra-violet (UV) around 400 nm. This beseeches the need for chemists and biologists to continue developing new generations of fluorescence ...
InfraScan, a medical device firm specializing in traumatic brain injury diagnostic products, announced the publication of the largest U.S. study to date using a near-infrared device (NIRD) to detect bleeds resulting from Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). This independent study was published in the Journal of Neurotrauma on 2 Aug 2022. https://doi.org/10.1089/neu.2021.0342. “We wish to thank ...
Do you suddenly find that your teeth become very fragile, you will start to have a toothache when you drink cold water, eat ice-cream, and even when you brush your teeth? This is the symptom of tooth sensitivity. Compared to conventional desensitizing topical agents, the laser treatment leads to rapid results with less application time and more quickly for the patient. The discomfort of patients ...

Bioceramic materials have a long history of being used to repair human hard tissues, from biologically inert materials (such as alumina and zirconia, etc.) to biological materials that are both biologically active and degradable (such as phosphate and silicate bioceramics, silicon Based bio-glass, etc.), its physiological function is no longer a simple tissue filling substitute, but a tissue ...

In recent years, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been widely sought after due to their excellent clinical performance and market returns. ADC drugs are composed of three parts: antibody, effector molecule (Payload, usually cytotoxic agent) and linker. Compared with traditional drugs, ADC drugs have obvious advantages in improving targeting and reducing side effects. 1. Global ADC listing ...
Advancement in assistive technology has led to the commercial availability of multi-dexterous robotic prostheses for the upper extremity. The relatively low performance of the currently used techniques to detect the intention of the user to control such advanced robotic prostheses, however, limits their use. This article explores the use of force myography (FMG) as a potential alternative to ...
Latest patents expand near infrared platform capabilities related to trauma and stroke diagnosis InfraScan, a medical device firm specializing in brain injury and stroke diagnostic products, announced today the issuance by the US Patent Office of three additional patents that cover internal bleeding, brain trauma and stroke detection technologies. The first patent for invention number US ...
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is a threat that’s here to stay. It has become clear that despite lifting some of the stricter rules, nothing will be quite the same as before. Until a more permanent solution is available, we will have to adapt the way we operate before we can return to work. Several weeks into “lockdown”, some countries have started easing ...
Gold nanoshells have been extensively studied since their invention and their role in both in vitro and in vivo photothermal therapy has been explored and demonstrated. In this work, we investigate liposomal delivery of gold nanoshells and evaluate their effects for in vitro NanoPhototherapy induced hyperthermia in human mammary carcinoma cells. In addition, we compare the application of liposome ...
