Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is a highly biologically active functional glycoprotein. It is a specific and potent mitogen for endothelial cells, playing a role in their proliferation, migration, and lumen formation. VEGF is involved in angiogenesis and increases capillary permeability. It can induce abnormal growth of tumor blood vessels, hinder the effective delivery of anti-tumor drugs to tumor tissues, and stimulate the production of new blood vessel growth factors.
Tumors and Blood Vessel Growth Tumor, as an abnormal mass of cells, has blood vessels of various sizes that can be seen everywhere on the surface and deep within it. Nutrients for life are continuously supplied to the depths of tumor cells through these blood vessels. As the tumor continues to grow, nearby bloo…
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes belonging to the metzincin superfamily. There are 23 different types of secreted or membrane-anchored endopeptidases in the human body.

The MMP Family Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes belonging to the metzincin superfamily. There are 23 different types of secreted or membrane-anchored endopeptidases in the human body. MMPs are capable of degrading ECM proteins such as collagen, gelatin, laminin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, elastin, and proteoglycans. They were once considered regulators of the extracellular matrix. MMPs have multiple structural domains, including a signal peptide (…

Oligosaccharides are basically carbohydrates formed by the union of three to six units of simple sugars or monosaccharides. However, in rare cases, as many as ten units of sugars have been seen to form an Oligosaccharide. They are either formed by combining molecules of monosaccharides or are formed from the breaking of complex sugars called polysaccharides. Very few oligosaccharides are found in nature from plants. To mention a few; Raffinose is formed of 3 molecules of monosaccharides, melibiose, gentianose and fructose. One oligosaccharide is obtained from arthropod’s blood and in a few plants which are Maltotriose which consists of three molecules of glucose. The molecular formula of Oligosaccharide is C37H62N2O29. It has a calorific va;ue of 1.5-2 cal/gm and is usually found in legumes, garlic, pear, watermelon and white onion. Many fruits also contain fructo-oligosaccharide.
Surfactants can increase the solubility of poorly soluble drugs in the dispersion medium, because surfactants can form micelles.
Surfactants have become a flexible and diverse class of fine chemical products due to their physical and chemical effects such as wetting or anti-sticking, emulsification or demulsification, foaming or defoaming, solubilization, dispersion, washing, anti-corrosion, etc. Currently, surfactants are most widely used as detergents in daily life, but they have been found potentially useful in many other fields. Characteristics of Surfactant Solubilization Surfactants can increase the solubility of poorly soluble drugs in the dispersion medium, because surfactants can form micelles, and surfactants are amphiphilic, if the polarity of the drug is small and the…

Carbon fiber composite materials have begun to find use in various industries and its charm has been gradually recognized worldwide.
Carbon fiber is a new type of fiber material with high strength and with a carbon content of more than 95%. It is a microcrystalline graphite material obtained by piling up organic fibers such as flake graphite microcrystals along the fiber axial direction, and then undergoing carbonization and graphitization treatments. Carbon fiber is a new material with excellent mechanical properties. Its specific gravity is less than 1/4 of that of steel. The tensile strength of carbon fiber resin composites is generally above 3500Mpa, which is 7-9 times that of steel. The tensile modulus of elasticity is 23000 to 43000Mpa, also higher than steel. Performance of…
2D materials have gained attention due to their excellent electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties.
2D materials are layered materials composed of single or multiple atomic layers in terms of thickness and stacked between van der Waals forces. Initially, 2D semiconducting materials mainly focused on carbon-based materials, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. According to a study by IBM, graphene chips have shown greater performance and improvement in power consumption compared to silicon-based chips. For instance, the chip speed of the 7 nm silicon-based chip will only be enhanced by 20% when it is narrowed down to 5 nm, whereas the 7 nm graphene chip demonstrated 300X greater speed than the 7 nm silicon-based chip. Research data have proven that carbon-based 2D materials can bette…

Microneedling is currently most widely used in the cosmetic field and has been commercialized for many years.
Microneedles (MN) is a new type of physical permeability-enhancing technology. It consists of multiple micron-scale fine needle tips connected to the base in an array. The needle body is generally 10-2000 microns high and 10-50 microns wide. The length, size and shape of the microneedles can be individually designed according to the needs of the application. When the microneedle delivers the drug, the active ingredient is loaded into the microneedle array, and the concentration gradient between the drug and the subcutaneous tissue fluid forms a driving force, causing the drug to be slowly released into the body. In addition to the advantages of a transdermal delivery system, it also…
