Journal ArticleDOI
Fueling a Hot Debate on the Application of TiO2 Nanoparticles in Sunscreen.
Shweta Sharma,Rohit Kumar Sharma,Kavita Gaur,José F. Cátala Torres,Sergio A. Loza-Rosas,Anamaris Torres,Manoj Saxena,Mara Julin,Arthur D. Tinoco +8 more
TL;DR: By closely examining the biological use of TiO2 and the influence of biomolecules on its stability and solubility, the reactivity of the material is reassessed in the presence and absence of UV energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inducing cell death in vitro in cancer cells by targeted delivery of cytochrome c via a transferrin conjugate.
Manoj Saxena,Yamixa Delgado,Rohit Kumar Sharma,Shweta Sharma,Solimar Liz Ponce De León Guzmán,Arthur D. Tinoco,Kai Griebenow +6 more
TL;DR: The neo-conjugate developed has promise for future development to target cancers with enhanced transferrin receptor expression and maintained an IC50 value similar to the well known drug cisplatin in A549 cancer cells but also was nontoxic to the normal lung (MRC5) cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, three formulations were employed in three different organic solvents (n-heptane, 1,4-dioxane, and t-butanol) to produce biodiesel using cooking oil (UCO) and brown grease (BG) in the transesterification reaction with ethanol and methanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Rhizopus arrhizus LipaseNanoparticles for Biodiesel Production
Rohit Kumar Sharma,Rohit Kumar Sharma,Manoj Saxena,Manoj Saxena,Crystal A. O'Neill,Crystal A. O'Neill,Hector A. R. Ramos,Hector A. R. Ramos,Kai Griebenow,Kai Griebenow +9 more
TL;DR: A nanoparticulate Rhizopus arrhizus lipase formulation was developed to enhance its activity and to increase the conversion yield of lipids into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), a.k.a., biodiesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling the transverse proton relaxivity of magnetic graphene oxide.
Bibek Thapa,Bibek Thapa,Daysi Diaz-Diestra,Daysi Diaz-Diestra,Dayra Badillo-Diaz,Dayra Badillo-Diaz,Rohit Kumar Sharma,Rohit Kumar Sharma,K. Dasari,K. Dasari,Shalini Kumari,Mikel B. Holcomb,Juan Beltran-Huarac,Juan Beltran-Huarac,Brad R. Weiner,Brad R. Weiner,Gerardo Morell,Gerardo Morell +17 more
TL;DR: E engineered graphene oxide in the nanocomposite form of iron oxide nanoparticles (IO)-graphene oxide (GO) with tunable core magnetism and magnetic resonance transverse relaxivity (r2) demonstrates the clear potential of magnetic graphene oxide for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications.
