Natural Chlorogenic Acid Planted Nanohybrids with Steerable Hyperthermia for Osteosarcoma Suppression and Bone Regeneration (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 23/2023)

Can magneto-plasmonic nanohybrids efficiently combine photothermia with magnetic hyperthermia?

Multifunctional hybrid-design nanomaterials appear to be a promising route to meet the current therapeutics needs required for efficient cancer treatment. Herein, two efficient heat nano-generators were combined into a multifunctional single nanohybrid (a multi-core iron oxide nanoparticle optimized for magnetic hyperthermia, and a gold branched shell with tunable plasmonic properties in the NI...

The suppression of the N-nitrosating reaction by chlorogenic acid.

N-Nitrosation of a model aromatic amine (2,3-diamino-naphthalene) by the N-nitrosating agent produced by nitrite in acidic solution was inhibited by a polyphenol, chlorogenic acid, which is an ester of caffeic acid quinic acid. Caffeic acid also inhibited the N-nitrosation, but quinic acid did not. 1,2-Benzenediols and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid had inhibitory activities. Chlorogenic acid, caffe...

Metamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).

By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.

Study of the relationship between soil properties and natural regeneration of Haloxylon aphyllum in planted areas of Ardestan

Present research was conducted with the aim of determination of significant effect of soil properties on natural regeneration of Haloxylon aphyllum and correlation coefficient and linear relation between soil variables and natural regeneration of Haloxylon aphyllum. Firstly, geomorphologic units were prepared in the areas under cultivation of Haloxylon aphyllum in Ardestan. Two cultivated lands...
