Gold Nanorods Induce Innate Immune Response and Reduce Respiratory Syncytial Virus Replication

Bawage S., Tiwari P., Singh A., Singh S., Dixit S., Pillai S., Dennis V., Singh A., Singh S., Alabama State University, US

Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been used for diverse applications like sensing molecules, diagnosis of cancer, delivery of drugs and vaccines. Among the various MNPs, the gold nanorods (GNR) have been commonly used for such diagnosis [...]

Peptide Functionalized Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Inhibit Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) In Vitro

Baganizi D.R., Bawage S., Singh A., Singh S.R., Tiwari P., Dennis V.A., Singh A., Singh S.R., Alabama State University, US

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe upper and lower respiratory tract infections in infants, and in high-risk adults. Currently, there is no vaccine and the available therapeutic agents have limited [...]

Supermagnatic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Toxicity to Mammalian Cells

Vig K., Tiwari P., Parveen A., Rangari V., Singh S.R., Alabama State University, US

The present study investigates the development of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as a controlled release drug formulation and use as anticancer therapeutic agents. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were synthesized using ultrasonic irradiation of iron pentacarbonyl [...]
