Electrospinning produces nanofibrous scaffolds, and the diameter of the nanofibers can be altered by tailoring the electrospinning parameters. Honey, betel loading on polymeric scaffolds has been used in tissue engineering applications. However, there are not many reports on electrospinning using betel extracts. In this study, electrospinning param...

Background Aloe vera extract and its bioactive compounds possess anti-proliferative properties against cancer cells. However, no detailed molecular mechanism of action studies has been reported. We have now employed a computational approach to scrutinize the molecular mechanism of lead bioactive compounds from Aloe vera that potentially inhibit DNA...

Since the last few decades, the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles was one of the most thrust areas due to its widespread application. The study proposed using wasted and unusable Humulus lupulus (Hops) extract to synthesize silver nanoparticles for biomedical application. The environment around us gives us many scopes to use the waste from env...

The emergence of the pandemic around the world owing to COVID-19 is putting the world into a big threat. Many factors may be involved in the transmission of this deadly disease but not much-supporting data are available. Till now few evidences have been reported supporting that temperature changes can affect COVID-19 transmission. This work aims to...

Wastewater is always composed of different pollutants, most of which are toxic to the living being. It is very tough to separate all those diverse groups of contaminants using a single process or single material. Rather a sustainable and environment friendly processes should be adapted to restrict the secondary pollution generation. Nanoclay and it...

Enzyme use has provided boost to the technoeconomics of many industrial processes. In this chapter, we summarize different cellulase-based industrial processes for preparation of paper, pulp, brewing products, and different foods. This review presents a brief chemistry and mechanism of cellulose degradation by the cellulase enzyme. Also, cellulase...

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 is putting the world towards a great threat.
