Metal oxide nanoparticles due to their antioxidant properties have attractedsignificant attention and exhibited good potential for use in cancer theranostics.Owing to the poor absorption in the physiological environment, they are anideal candidate to act as nanocarriers in targeted drug delivery and bioimaging.This feature can be successfully implemented in live monitori...

The bioprocessing of CeO2 nanoparticles after uptake in lung tissues is compared with the formation of nanoparticles after inhalation of CeCl3 aerosols. In both cases, high-resolution TEM/STEM analyses indicate that cerium phosphate nanoparticles (NPs) had precipitated in phagolysosomal regions within macrophages. Importantly, the primary particle size, morphology, and agglomeration tendencies ...

In this study, CeO2 hollow spherical nanoparticles, CeO2/SiO2 @ CeO2 core/shell composites,and hollow CeO2/SiO2 sensors were synthesized and their microstructures were researched byFT-IR, XRD, FESEM, EDX and BET analyses. The peaks observed in the FT-IR spectra of the synthesizedsamples corresponded to Ce-O stretching vibration (ca. 566 cm-1) and O-Si-O bendingvibration (ca. 470 cm-1). XRD diff...

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) are favorable in nanotechnology based on some remarkable properties. In this study, the crystalline CeO2 NPs are successfully prepared by an efficient microwave combustion (MCM) and conventional route sol-gel (CRSGM) methods. The structural morphology of the as-prepared CeO2 NPs was investigated by various spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Moreover, ...

The axonal translocation of two commonly used nanoparticles in medicine, namely CeO2 and SiO2, is investigated. The study was conducted on frog sciatic nerve fibers in an ex vivo preparation. Nanoparticles were applied at the proximal end of the excised nerve. A nerve stimulation protocol was followed for over 35 hours. Nerve vitality curve comparison between control and exposed nerves showed t...

The catalytic properties of a supported system are strongly dependent on the types of metal and supporting material involved. Platinum nanoparticles (NPs) supported on ceria (CeO2) have shown higher catalytic activities for a wide variety of reactions, including water-gas shift, 6] CO oxidation, and hydrogenation when compared to those supported on other oxides. Therefore, CeO2 has been widely ...

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs), used as a diesel fuel catalyst, can be emitted into the ambient air, resulting in exposure to humans by inhalation. Recent studies have reported the development of lung toxicity after pulmonary exposure to CeO2 NPs. However, little is known about the possible thrombotic effects of these NPs. The present study investigated the acute (24 hours) effect of int...

This study describes the use of a composite nitrate salt solution as a precursor to synthesize CeO2 and Gd2O3-doped CeO2 (GDC) nanoparticles (NPs) using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ). The microstructures of CeO2 and GDC NPs were found to be cubical and spherical shaped nanocrystallites with average particle sizes of 10.5 and 6.7 nm, respectively. Reactive oxygen species, detected by...

CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) have been well demonstrated as an antioxidant in protecting against oxidative stress-induced cellular damages and a potential therapeutic agent for various diseases thanks to their redox enzyme-mimicking activities. The Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio and oxygen vacancies on the surface have been considered as the major originations responsible for the redox enzyme-mimicking activities...

CeO2 nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) which are used as a diesel fuel additive are emitted in the particulate phase in the exhaust, posing a health concern. However, limited information exists regarding the in vivo acute toxicity of CeO2 NPs on multiple organs. Presently, we investigated the acute (24 h) effects of intratracheally instilled CeO2 NPs in mice (0.5 mg/kg) on oxidative stress, inflammation...
