Nanodelivery of Chinese traditional medicine extract of Gingko Biloba (EGb-761) induces superior neuroprotection following traumatic brain injury in heat stroke

Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Muresanu D.F., Lafuente J.V., Zhang Z-q, Li C., Patnaik R., Tian Z.R., Ozikzilcik A., Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Uppsala University, Uppsala, SE

Military personnel are often exposed to high summer heat resulting in heat stroke (HS) and related illnesses. HS often results in serious mental and physical consequences due to breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to [...]

Co-administration of TiO2 nanowired cerebrolysin and alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone has superior neuroprotective effects on brain pathology following concussive head injury after sleep deprivation

Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Lafuente J.V., Muresanua D.F., Nozari A., Patnaik R., Tian Z.R., Ozkizilcik A., Mössler H., Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Uppsala University, Uppsala, SE

Sleep deprivation (SD) is common in military personnel engaged in combat operations. Our previous reports show that 12 h SD alone induces brain pathology and continued until 72 h in a progressive manner. However, these [...]

Exacerbation of amyloid beta peptide and Tau protein in the cerebrospinal fluid following Traumatic Brain Injury at Hot Environment. Neuroproetction by TiO2 nanowired delivery of cerebrolysin with tau antibodies

Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Lafuente J.V., Muresanua D.F., Castellani R.J., Smith M.A., Nozari A., Patnaik R., Tian Z.R., Ozkizilcik A., Mössler H., Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Uppsala University, Uppsala, SE

Military personnel are often exposed to high environmental temperature in desert areas during combat operations. Since traumatic brain injury (TBI) is quite common in combat operation, a possibility exists that hot environment (HE) could affect [...]

Bioextraction technologies for bioplastic and biomass hydrolysates production

Ibrahim M.H.A., Hall E., Bioextrax AB, SE

Globally, there is an increased interest in environmentally friendly bio-based alternatives to currently used chemical processes in agriculture, medicine and industry. Microorganism and its enzymes can provide safe and cost-effective technologies for different applications. One [...]

A platform for extremely sensitive gas sensing: 2D materials on silicon carbide

Eriksson J., Rodner M., Yakimova R., Spetz A.L., Linkoping University, SE

2D materials offer a unique platform for sensing with extremely high sensitivity, since even minimal chemical interaction causes noticeable changes in the electronic state. An area where extreme sensitivity is particularly interesting is in the [...]

Effects of III-V Semiconductor Nanowires on Human Lung Cancer Cells

Abariute L., Prinz C.N., Lund University, SE

Nanotechnology empowers existing technologies and enriches the effectiveness of new applications. One of the great examples are III-V semiconductor nanowires (NW), which have a broad application range, from electronics and energy-conversion to biological applications [1]. [...]

TiO2-nanowired delivery of cerebrolysin thwarts exacerbation of sleep deprivation induced decline in regional brain derived neurotrophic factor, brain pathology and behavioral dysfunctions following emotional stress

Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Muresanu D.F., Lafuente J.V., Nozari A., Patnaik R., Ozkizilcik A., Tian Z.R., Mössler H., Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Uppsala University, SE

Sleep deprivation (SD) is a serious problem in military personnel during combat operations. Normally they have only a few hours of sleep under severe stressful conditions. This leads to profound mental and cognitive dysfunctions. Previous [...]

Nanodelivery of cerebrolysin reduces depressive stress induced exacerbation of Alzheimer’s disease brain pathology following amyloid-beta peptide infusion

Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Muresanu D.F., Lafuente J.V., Patnaik R., Tian Z.R., Ozkizilcik A., Castellani R.J., Mössler H., Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Uppsala University, SE

Military personnel are highly vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This is because of the fact that severe stress of trauma, sleep deprivation or combat stress causes increased deposition of amyloid beta peptide in the cerebrospinal [...]

Nanodelivery of cerebrolysin reduces functionalized Gold Nanoparticles induced Blood-brain barrier disruption, brain edema formation and brain pathology

Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Menon P.K., Muresanu D.F., Lafuente J.V., Nozari A., Patnaik R., Ozkizilcik A., Tian Z.R., Mössler H., Sharma A., Sharma H.S., Uppsala University, SE

Recently, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are used for drug delivery in treating several neurological disorders e.g., Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease, Stroke and trauma. In addition, use of AuNPs for diagnostic purposes in various diseases are [...]

Thin Ceramic Coatings and Their Suitability Towards Scale Reduction in Heat Exchangers

Santos O., Nilsson M., Jensen A.H., Christiensen, A.B., Alfa Laval AB, SE

Scaling of heat exchangers in the chemical industry, district heating, power plants, etc results in a loss of performance which leads to production stops for cleaning and therefore increased operation costs. One approach to mitigate [...]
