Humidified Warmed CO2 Treatment Therapy Strategies Can Save Lives With Mitigation and Suppression of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: An Evidence Review (2020)
Journal Article
El-Betany, A. M., Behiry, E. M., Gumbleton, M., & Harding, K. G. (2020). Humidified Warmed CO2 Treatment Therapy Strategies Can Save Lives With Mitigation and Suppression of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: An Evidence Review. Frontiers in Medicine, 7, Article 594295. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmed.2020.594295

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak has presented enormous challenges for healthcare, societal, and economic systems worldwide. There is an urgent global need for a universal vaccine to cover all SARS-CoV-2 mutant strains to stop the current...

Auto-fluorescent PAMAM-based dendritic molecules and their potential application in pharmaceutical sciences (2020)
Journal Article
El-Betany, A. M., Kamoun, E. A., James, C., Jangher, A., Aljayyoussi, G., Griffiths, P., …Gumbleton, M. (2020). Auto-fluorescent PAMAM-based dendritic molecules and their potential application in pharmaceutical sciences. International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 579, Article 119187. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2020.119187

The epithelial permeation of water-soluble fluorescent PAMAM dendrons based on 7H-benz[de] benzimidazo [2,1-a] isoquinoline-7-one as a fluorescent core across epithelial cell models MDCK I and MDCK II has been quantified. Hydrodynamic radii have been... Read More about Auto-fluorescent PAMAM-based dendritic molecules and their potential application in pharmaceutical sciences.

Influence of photoinitiator concentration and irradiation time on the crosslinking performance of visible-light activated pullulan-HEMA hydrogels (2018)
Journal Article
Kamoun, E. A., El-Betany, A., Menzel, H., & Chen, X. (2018). Influence of photoinitiator concentration and irradiation time on the crosslinking performance of visible-light activated pullulan-HEMA hydrogels. International journal of biological macromolecules, 120, 1884-1892. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2018.10.011

In-situ forming hydrogels were prepared from pullulan-HEMA copolymer using three-component visible-light system composed of camphorquinone carboxylic acid-folic acid-iodonium salt. The relevance of double bond conversion and crosslinking density of h...
