Optimization of operational conditions for continuous membrane distillation crystallization process with zero discharge by Lim, Deric Weikang.

“…Membrane Distillation Crystallization (MDC) is an innovative approach which involves the integration of the Membrane Distillation (MD) process together with a crystallizer unit. By tapping onto the potentials of MD, it becomes possible to operate under a supersaturated state of the solution, thereby achieving the objective of zero discharge to the environment while recovering valuable salts. …”

On-Demand Bioadhesive Dendrimers with Reduced Cytotoxicity by Gao, Feng, Djordjevic, Ivan, Pokholenko, Oleksandr, Zhang, Haobo, Zhang, Junying, Steele, Terry W. J.

“…In vitro toxicity is reduced by an order of magnitude upon amine capping while retaining bioadhesive properties. The in vivo immunological response to PAMAM-g-diazirine formulations was found to be optimal in comparison to standard poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) thin films.…”

An iGlu receptor antagonist and its simultaneous use with an anticancer drug for cancer therapy by Luo, Zhong, Li, Peizhou, Tan, Si Yu, Ang, Chung Yen, Nguyen, Kim Truc, Zhao, Yanli

“…Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) were employed as the delivery vehicle for both L1 and Dox by conjugating the iGlu receptor antagonist on the surface and encapsulating Dox within the mesopores. Dox was then trapped within the mesopores by functionalizing a redox-cleavable capping group on the MSNP surface, and it could be released upon exposure to the reductive glutathione. …”
