Silk protein-based hydrogels: Promising advanced materials for biomedical applications
Sonia Kapoor,Subhas C. Kundu +1 more
TL;DR: This review provides overview of the advances in silk protein-based hydrogels with a primary emphasis on hydrogel of fibroin with the aim of highlighting the research that has been done in the area of silk-basedHydrogels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silk fibroin/polyacrylamide semi-interpenetrating network hydrogels for controlled drug release
TL;DR: Rheological properties along with swellability, degradation, sol fraction estimation, equilibrium water content and swelling kinetics were evaluated, and MTT assay showed biocompatibility and absence of deleterious effects of hydrogel on cell viability and functionality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein Nanoparticles: Promising Platforms for Drug Delivery Applications.
TL;DR: This review, while focusing on a few proteins such as the silk protein fibroin, attempts to provide an overview of the existing protein-based nanoparticles and brings forth some of the factors that are important for the design of this class of nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of HDAC6 Deacetylase Activity Increases Its Binding with Microtubules and Suppresses Microtubule Dynamic Instability in MCF-7 Cells
TL;DR: The evidence presented in this study indicated that the increased binding of HDAC6, rather than the acetylation per se, causes microtubule stability, in support of a hypothesis that in addition to its deacetylase function,HDAC6 might function as a MAP that regulates microtubules dynamics under certain conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting FtsZ for antibacterial therapy: a promising avenue
Sonia Kapoor,Dulal Panda +1 more
TL;DR: The assembly dynamics of FtsZ and the key features that place it among the novel antibacterial drug targets are discussed and the recent progress in finding the inhibitors of functional properties of FTSZ and its interactions with other proteins is presented.
