objective(s): this paper describes coating of magnetite nanoparticles (mnps) with amorphous silica shells.   materials and methods: first, magnetite (fe3o4) nps were synthesized by co-precipitation method and then treated with stabilizer molecule of trisodium citrate to enhance their dispersibility. afterwards, coating with silica was carried out via a sol-gel approach in which the electrostati...

recent progress in nanotechnology and electrochemical methods can be applied to fine control of the size, crystal structure, and surface properties of iron oxide nanoparticles. here we appliedcathodic electrochemical deposition (ced) as an efficient and effective tactic for synthesisand double coating of surface of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spions). in first step, bare fe3o4 n...

FINANCIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN ACADEMIC BIOmedical research first entered the public consciousness during the 1980s, along with a series of widely publicized episodes of scientific misconduct. In some of these episodes, faculty investigators were accused of having fabricated or falsified research data on therapeutic products in which they had substantial financial interests. The linkage was...

Peroxidases are enzymes catalyzing redox reactions that cleave peroxides. Their active redox centers have heme, cysteine thiols, selenium, manganese, and other chemical moieties. Peroxidases and their mimetic systems have several technological and biomedical applications such as environment protection, energy production, bioremediation, sensors and immunoassays design, and drug delivery devices...

Introduction: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) now affects 1 in 88 children in the USA and 1 in 47 in Utah. ASD is 5 times more likely in boys with 1 in 54 boys identified nationally. More children will be diagnosed with ASD this year than with AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined. A diagnosis of autism is based on observed behavior and ed...
