In order to reach this goal, the above mentioned limitations need to be overcome. Nanotechnology can play an important role in reducing or even eliminating such drawbacks. Such possibility will open the door for a wide range of candidate compounds that were overlooked in the past due to these ...
Dental caries, a highly prevalent oral disease, impacts a significant portion of the global population. Conventional approaches that indiscriminately eradicate microbes disrupt the natural equilibrium of the oral microbiota. In contrast, biointervention strategies aim to restore this balance by introducing b...

When Listerine was used for oral surgery such as tooth extraction and periodontal surgery, the agent was effective in relieving toothache. This was probably due to a decrease in oral bacteria by the antimicrobial action of Listerine, leading to lowering the inflammatory response of the host. The ...
(OM), which, together with the peptidoglycan and inner membrane (IM), delimits the periplasm and cytoplasm compartments. Many molecules of glycolipids, especially lipopolysaccharide (LPS), emerge from the outer leaflet of the OM, while, from the inner layer of the OM, lipoproteins reach the ...
Vinegar comes from the alcohol produced by corn, which is fermented until it reaches full-strength. Then it's diluted with water to a 5 percent acidity level. It's this acetic acid level that gives vinegar its cleaning power. It's thought to have some antimicrobial properties to get rid ...

However, due to its high molecular weight (~ 13 kDa), negative charge, easy degradation by enzymes and difficulty crossing cell membranes, naked siRNA could not reach the target cell efficiently. To overcome these hurdles, a non-viral gene delivery system has been studied to efficiently ...
It is estimated that in the next decade total production from both capture and aquaculture will exceed that of beef, pork or poultry. Due to higher demand for fish, world fisheries and aquaculture production are projected to reach about 172 million tonnes in 2021, of which aquaculture is ...
