Synthesis and characterization of ZnO nanoflakes anchored carbon nanoplates for antioxidant and anticancer activity in MCF7 cell lines

Microwave-assisted synthesis of ZnO nanoflakes: structural, optical and dielectric characterization

“…This size was larger than the crystalline size of ZnO-Nfs calculated by Scherrer's formula from XRD analysis. Thus, the larger particle size of ZnO-Nfs may be caused to nanoplates formation [27]. Similarly, Arasu et al showed that the size viewed in FESEM larger than the crystalline size estimated from XRD results.…”

ZnO Metal Oxide Semiconductor in Surface Acoustic Wave Sensors: A Review

“…ZnO has also attracted attention for its low cost, ease of preparation, very good chemical stability, suitability to doping, non-toxicity, and ease of processing, for example in the form of thin films [ 84 , 128 ]. This is a material that can be easily synthesized in various types of nanostructures, such as nanorods ( Figure 2 a) [ 122 ], nanosheets ( Figure 2 b) [ 132 ], nanotubes ( Figure 2 c) [ 133 ], nanoflowers ( Figure 2 d) [ 1 ], microspheres ( Figure 2 e) [ 134 ], nanoplates ( Figure 2 f) [ 113 ], nanoflakes ( Figure 2 g) [ 135 ], nanowires ( Figure 2 h) [ 136 ], and nanofibers ( Figure 2 i) [ 137 ]. These types of microstructures ensure a large specific surface area and allow the penetration of gas molecules into the volume of the material, which is a great advantage for RT detection with SAW sensors [ 128 , 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 ].…”

Neurokinin-1-tachykinin receptor agonist promotes diabetic fracture healing in rats with type 1 diabetes via modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling axis

“…Another study illustrated that SubP ameliorates wound healing by modulating the inflammatory mechanisms in neuroischemic diabetic models ( Leal et al, 2015 , Mani et al, 2020 ). A gamut of research studies underlined that activation of canonical Wnt/β-catenin signalling axis has positive implications in the fracture healing process, while perturbed signalling leads to delayed/distorted callus formation in T1D/non-diabetic models ( Jin et al, 2015 , Arasu et al, 2019 , Chen et al, 2007 , Cai et al, 2018 , Valsalam et al, 2019 ). Dickkopf-1 (DKK1), a soluble glycoprotein, is a potent Wnt antagonist known to negatively regulate the fracture healing process by hampering the osteoblastogenesis in T1D ( Hie et al, 2011 , Tsentidis et al, 2017 ).…”
