The requirements for early diagnostics as well as effective treatment of insidious diseases such as cancer constantly increase the pressure on development of efficient and reliable methods for targeted drug/gene delivery ...

The impact of zinc selenide nanoparticles (ZnSe-NPs) on plants is still unknown. The intention of this work was to compare phytotoxicity of ZnSe-NPs and selenium and zinc ions in 100, 250 and 500 M concentrations. Young ...

Magnetic isolation of biological targets is in major demand in the biotechnology industry today. This study considers the interaction of four surface-modified magnetic micro- and nanoparticles with selected DNA fragments. ...

The increasing industrial use of nanomaterials in recent years poses a potential risk to the environment. The first organisms that come into contact with these substances include aquatic organisms, and therefore this study ...

Magnetic particles (MPs) have been widely used in biological applications in recent years as a carrier for various molecules. Their big advantage is in repeated use of immobilized molecules including enzymes. Acetylcholinesterase ...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the time dependent growth of silica shell on CdTe quantum dots to get its optimum thickness for applications in practice. The core/shell structured silica-coated CdTe quantum ...

Metal matrix nanocomposites (MMnCs) consist of a metal matrix filled with nano-size reinforcements featuring physical and mechanical properties very different from those of the matrix. In ZA- 27 alloy-based nanocomposites ...

Nanomaterials are structures whose exceptionality is based on their large surface, which is closely connected with reactivity and modification possibilities. Due to these properties nanomaterials are used in textile industry ...
