Green Fenton-like catalysts for the removal of water pollutants

Nadejde C., Neamtu M., Hodoroaba V.-D., Schneider R.J., Paul A., Ababei G., Panne U., Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, RO

Three tannic acid (TA) and dissolved natural organic matter (NOM) core-shell magnetite nanoparticles catalysts were evaluated as magnetic heterogeneous catalysts. Simple and efficient procedures for the preparation of coated magnetic nanoparticles were employed. The catalysts [...]

PEG Incorporated Polymeric Microcapsules for Intramyocardial Delivery of Stem Cells Genetically Modified by Baculovirus

Paul A., Khan A.A., Abbasi S., Shum-Tim D., Prakash S., McGill University, CA

The ability of mesenchymal stem cells to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cell lineages makes them promising tools for regenerative medicine. Local injection and use of scaffolds had been employed earlier to deliver these cells; [...]

Nanoparticles co-encapsulating hVEGF and hAng-1 can induce mitotic and antiapoptotic effect on vascular endothelial cells

Khan A.A., Paul A., Abbasi S., Prakash S., McGill University, CA

This study demonstrates the combined effect of the angiogenic proteins, hVEGF and hAng-1, coencapsulated in human serum albumin (HSA) nanoparticles (NPs), towards human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and an evaluation of the potential application [...]
