A comprehensive evaluation of the attenuation characteristics of some sliding bearing alloys under 0.015–15 meV gamma-ray exposure
(MDPI, 2022)In this study, three different sliding bearing alloy samples were investigated in terms of their performance on attenuation characteristics and behavioral attitudes under 0.015–15 MeV gamma-ray exposure. Accordingly, ... -
Development and in vitro evaluation of biocompatible pla-based trilayer nanofibrous membranes for the delivery of nanoceria: a novel approach for diabetic wound healing
(MDPI, 2021)The attempts to explore and optimize the efficiency of diabetic wound healing’s promotors are still in progress. Incorporation of cerium oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) in appropriate nanofibers (NFs) can prolong and maximize ... -
Differential interactome proposes subtype-specific biomarkers and potential therapeutics in renal cell carcinomas
(MDPI, 2021)Abstract: Although many studies have been conducted on single gene therapies in cancer patients, the reality is that tumor arises from different coordinating protein groups. Unveiling perturbations in protein interactome ... -
Early effects of low molecular weight heparin therapy with soft-mist inhaler for COVID-19-induced hypoxemia: a phase iib trial
(MDPI, 2021)In COVID-19-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome, the lungs are incapable of filling with sufficient air, leading to hypoxemia that results in high mortality among hospitalized patients. In clinical trials, ... -
Editing SOX genes by CRISPR-Cas: current insights and future perspectives
(MDPI, 2021)Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and its associated proteins (Cas) is an adaptive immune system in archaea and most bacteria. By repurposing these systems for use in eukaryote cells, a ... -
Exploiting urazole’s acidity for fabrication of hydrogels and ion-exchange materials
(MDPI, 2021)In this study, the acidity of urazole (pKa 5–6) was exploited to fabricate a hydrogel in two simple and scalable steps. Commercially available poly(hexamethylene)diisocyanate was used as a precursor to synthesize an urazole ... -
A fuzzy prescriptive analytics approach to power generation capacity planning
(MDPI, 2022)This study examines the long-term energy capacity investment problem of a power generation company (GenCo), considering the drought threat posed by climate change in hydropower resources in Turkey. The mid-term planning ... -
Gene editing-based technologies for beta-hemoglobinopathies treatment
(MDPI, 2022)Simple Summary: β-thalassemia syndromes are clinically and genetically heterogeneous blood disorders presented by β-chain deficiency in hemoglobin production. Despite improvements in transfusion practices and chelation ... -
An integrated decision-making approach for green supplier selection in an agri-food supply chain: threshold of robustness worthiness
(MDPI, 2021)Along with the increased competition in production and service areas, many organizations attempt to provide their products at a lower price and higher quality. On the other hand, consideration of environmental criteria in ... -
Lab-scale twin-screw micro-compounders as a new rubber-mixing tool: ‘a comparison on EPDM/carbon black and EPDM/silica composites’
(MDPI, 2021)The research and development (R&D) in rubber formulation development require reproducible, repeatable, fast, accurate, and efficient sample preparation. The lab-scale formulation development is conventionally carried out ... -
Laurus nobilis L. Essential Oil-Loaded PLGA as a Nanoformulation Candidate for Cancer Treatment
(MDPI, 2022)The aim of this study was to obtain essential oil (LNEO) from the Laurus nobilis L. plant, and to prepare LNEO-loaded poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) as an approach in cancer treatment. The components ... -
Lighting up the tumor-fluorescein-guided resection of gangliogliomas
(MDPI, 2020)(1) Background: Gangliogliomas comprise a small number of brain tumors. They usually present as World Health Organization (WHO) grade I, and they delineate on gadolinium-enhanced MRI; the surgical goal is wide radical ... -
