Disease relevance of Nanotubes

  • The bioavailability of zidovudine nanospheres at 50 mg/kg of body weight was 76%, and this dose achieved prolonged exposure to zidovudine compared to standard formulations without an increase in the drug's peak concentration [1].
  • We have studied the cytotoxicity and accumulation of doxorubicin encapsulated in polyisohexylcyanoacrylate nanospheres in a model of doxorubicin-resistant rat glioblastoma variants differing by their degree of resistance to this drug [2].
  • In this study, we use His-tagged perfringolysin O (PFO), a soluble toxin secreted by the bacterial pathogen Clostridium perfringens, as a model protein to test the utility of nickel-lipid nanotubes as a tool for structural studies of His-tagged proteins [3].
  • We have previously reported that concanavalin A-immobilized polystyrene nanospheres (Con A-NS) could efficiently capture HIV-1 particles and gp120 antigens on their surface and that intravaginal immunization with inactivated HIV-1-capturing nanospheres (HIV-NS) induced vaginal anti-HIV-1 IgA antibody in mice [4].
  • After the administration of 3.9 I.U./kg insulin with the PLGA nanospheres, the blood glucose level was reduced significantly and the hypoglycemia was prolonged over 48 h, compared to the nebulized aqueous solution of insulin as a reference (6 h) [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Nanotubes

 

High impact information on Nanotubes

  • There are reports of nanotubes made from silica, alumina, silicon and metals that do not have a layered crystal structure; they are synthesized by using carbon nanotubes and porous membranes as templates, or by thin-film rolling [7].
  • Single-crystal gallium nitride nanotubes [7].
  • When these peptide nanopatterned holographic structures are exposed to a silicic acid, an ordered array of silica nanospheres is deposited onto the clear polymer substrate [8].
  • Self-assembly of subnanometer-diameter single-wall MoS2 nanotubes [9].
  • The bundles, which contain interstitial iodine, can be readily disassembled into individual molybdenum disulfide nanotubes [9].

Biological context of Nanotubes

 

Anatomical context of Nanotubes

  • We investigated the antitumor activity of Adriamycin on a monocytic-like cancer cell line U-937 after its binding on polymethacrylate nanospheres (diameter, 270-350 nm) [19].
  • Besides the effects on membrane phase properties, H2O2 promoted actin polymerization, induced the formation of cell-to-cell tunneling nanotube (TNT)-like connections among astrocytes and increased the colocalization of myosin Va with F-actin [20].
  • When directly mixed with CF sputum, recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I moderately facilitated the transport of nanospheres through CF sputum [16].
  • To date, the in vivo efficacy of these chitosan-based colloidal carriers has been reported for two different applications: while DNA-chitosan hybrid nanospheres were found to be acceptable transfection carriers, ionically crosslinked chitosan nanoparticles appeared to be efficient vehicles for the transport of peptides across the nasal mucosa [21].
  • At the nanoscale level, the forming matrix adjacent to the secretory face of the ameloblast shows alteration in the size of the amelogenin nanospheres for either transgenic animal line [22].
 

Associations of Nanotubes with chemical compounds

  • A chemical map for gadolinium (Gd) clearly reveals the distribution of Gd atoms inside a single chain of metallofullerene molecules (Gd@C82) generated within a single-wall carbon nanotube [23].
  • The results obtained prove that the addition of fluorine drastically enhances the reactivity of the nanotube side walls [24].
  • By pyrolysis of organometallics in the presence of thiophene, Y-junction nanotubes are obtained in large quantities [25].
  • The removal of CD from the nanotube with poly(propylene glycol) reversibly generates vesicles [26].
  • The in situ inclusion of the focal pyrene units into the cavity of beta- or gamma-cyclodextrin (CD) induces self-assembled organic nanotubes with an average outer diameter of approximately 45 nm and inner diameter of 22 nm [26].
