Carbon Nanotube-Collagen Scaffolds for Mesenchymal Stem Cells’ Differentiation: Changes in Alkaline Phosphatase Expression, Meneralizaton, and Energy Content

Bakture R., Kwon S., Sharma A., Sharma R., Sharma A., Sharma R., Utah State University, US

The applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have tremendous potentials for them as substrates of cell cultures, drug delivery systems, and medical implantable materials. We characterized the energy simulations of different CNT-composite materials with the use [...]

Biological robotics and nanorobot red cells: Characterization and applications

Sharma A., Sharma R., Sharma A., Sharma R., Chen C-J., TCC/Florida State University, US

In human body, nanorobot-like red blood cells get exposed to human body fluids and many physico-chemical changes inside while these nanorobots (fullerene structure coated hemoglobin embedded iron inorganic elements) remain safe and perform killer action [...]

Gold nanoparticles and emerging applications in imaging

Sharma A., Sharma R., Sharma A., Sharma R., Florida State University, US

Au from Au–Ag core–shell nanoparticles acts as multimodal Gold-speckled silica nanoparticles as contrast agents for noninvasive imaging with magnetic resonance imaging and photoacoustic tomography. These Au nanopeanuts can be prepared in a simple one-pot synthesis [...]

Copper 64-Cu nanoparticles in multimodal imaging of carotid artery disease

Sharma A., Sharma R., Sharma A., Sharma R., Florida State University, US

Nanoparticle based hybrid imaging by MRI, PET-CT and Fluorescent reflectance techniques are emerging in imaging carotid artery disease. 64Cu-TNP is detectable by MRI and PET-CT. A trimodality reporter 64Cu-TNP is a derivatization product made of: [...]

Morphology Changes and Defects in Carbon Nanoparticles Due to Different Atom Arrangements

Sharma A., Sharma R., Kwon S., Sharma A., Sharma R., Innovations And Solutions Inc, USA, US

Motivation: Pentagon and heptagon fullerene carbon nanostructures (CNT) have potentials in superlight weight industries. CNT have structural defects caused by irregular atom arrangement during CNT growth. For better use, it needs modifications to remove defects. [...]

Acyl ascorbate in enzymatic synthesis: Industrial use as a food nano additive

Sharma R., Pathak Y., Florida State University, US

Nanoadditive Acyl ascorbates were synthesized through the condensation of various fatty acids with L-ascorbic acid using immobilized lipase in a water-soluble organic solvent, and their properties as food additive were examined. The optimal conditions, which [...]

An Evaluation Criteria of Lower Respiratory Tract Infection Drug Resistant Patients in Need of Alveolar Fibroblasts: Match between Carbon Nanotube Bound Fibroblast Defense and Patient Drug Resistance: NIDHI Criteria

Sharma R., Goel N., Kwon S., Florida State University, US

We report first time a criterion of evaluating the need of choosing alveolar fibroblasts immune to lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in LRTI patients who display fatal drug resistance and specific pattern of bacterial infection. [...]
