Chiral metal nanoparticles (NPs) offer a powerful means of inducing and harnessing optical activity. However, due to the incomplete knowledge underlying growth mechanisms, there is still limited control over achievable morphological detail and, consequently, resulting Therefore, theoretical modeling needed guide experimental development toward optimizing plasmonic chiroptical response. Toward f...

Raman scattering investigations based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to explore the vibrational modes of wurtzite structured CdS nanoparticles (NPs). The calculations were performed to obtain the Raman spectra for the CdS containing 2, 4, 8 and 12 atoms to study the size dependence. Several vibrational modes indicating stretching ...

The development of advanced nanomaterials for the highly efficient electrical detection of biological species has attracted great attention. Here, novel polypyrrole-Pluronic F127 nanoparticles (PPy-F127 NPs) with conducting and biocompatibility properties were synthesized and used to construct a L-lactic acid biosensor that could be applied in biochemical assays. The PPy-F127 NPs were character...

In this investigation, Nutlin-3 (Nut3), a novel antitumor drug with low water solubility (<0.1mg/L at 25°C), was loaded into liposomes (Lipo-Nut3), polymeric nanoparticles (NPs-Nut3) and nanoparticles engineered with an antibody direct against Syndecan-1/CD 138 (Syn-NPs-Nut3) to obtain carriers targeted to PEL (primary effusion lymphoma). The physicochemical properties of these carriers were de...

The recent emerging evidence reveals that titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) can be used as a wastewater treatment. This study provides new information about the possible detoxification role of TiO2 NPs treatment in plants under heavy metal stress, with an emphasis on mechanisms involved. Here, we investigated effects one bamboo species (Arundinaria pygmaea L.) vitro Cadmium (Cd) toxicit...

Cushing disease (CD) in children is caused by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenomas. Germline or somatic mutations in genes such as MEN1, CDKIs, AIP, and USP8 have been identified in pediatric CD, but the genetic defects in a significant percentage of cases are still unknown. We investigated the orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR101, a gene known to be involved in s...

Biofilm formation is a process of bacterial attachment whereby they fasten irreversibly to biomaterial surface and lead unwanted phenotypic changes. The chief concern its prevent the harmful changes that follow accumulation bacteria on implants, so scientific community has made efforts. In this study, we attempted fabricate novel tissue engineering candidate biofilm desired by ideal biomaterial...

Extensive research have been devoted to the exploration of multifunctional theranostic agents for cancer, but poor tumor specificity and unsatisfactory treatment efficacy are some critical obstacles their clinical translations. Herein, ferrocene-carbon dot-crosslinked nanoparticles (Fc-CD NPs) were designed fabricated achieving highly specific photothermal-augmented chemodynamic therapy (CDT). ...

Photocatalysis is one of the promising processes for developing greener fuels. This work compares a new liquid Cd-based diacetate and CdOx nanoparticles photo-desulfurization diesel. Various tools, including XRD, XPS, TEM, 1H&13C NMR, FTIR, reflectance, photoluminescence, were used characterizing materials. Different parameters, such as irradiation type, catalyst dosage, oxidizing agents, solve...
