OPN is a downstream signaling molecule activated by RANKL/NF-κB receptors, and the reduction of OPN secretion can trigger the reduction of bone resorption induced by PTH, RANKL and M-CSF, thereby affecting the proliferation of osteoclasts [22]. In addition, OPN also exhibits multiple ...

Besides nano-dots and nano-fibers, for point-of-care testing (POCT) diagnosis, as well as NP usage for vaccine development, re-purposed NT is now used to engineer repurposed antiviral drugs within targeted-NPs, as “reformulated repurposed” drugs, the “2Re” approach, delivered within a...
