Impact of Graphene Oxide Nanoparticles on In Vitro Development of a Mouse Preimplantation Embryo and Interaction With the Zona Pellucida.

The development of assisted reproductive technologies increases the likelihood of nanoparticles' (NPs) direct contact with gametes and embryos in in vitro conditions. Analyzing the influence of nanomaterials on the early mammalian embryo becomes increasingly relevant. This work is devoted to the effect of graphene oxide (GO) NPs on the in vitro development of mammalian embryos.

Fe-doped nanodiamond-based photo-Fenton catalyst for dual-modal fluorescence imaging and improved chemotherapeutic efficacy against tumor hypoxia.

The deficiency of oxygen in most solid tumors plays a profound role in their proliferation, metastasis, and invasion and contributes to their resistance to treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy, and photodynamic therapy (PDT). A therapeutic approach based on the Fenton reaction has received considerable interest as a means of treating cancer with ROS-based nano catalytic medicine, referred to as chemodynamic therapy (CDT). A range of modified treatment strategies are being explored to enhance both CDT and conventional methods of therapy.

Berberine mediated fluorescent gold nanoclusters in biomimetic erythrocyte ghosts as a nanocarrier for enhanced photodynamic treatment.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a well-established cancer treatment method that employs light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) causing oxidative damage to cancer cells. Nevertheless, PDT encounters challenges due to its oxygen-dependent nature, which makes it less effective in hypoxic tumor environments. To address this issue, we have developed a novel nanocomposite known as AuNC@BBR@Ghost.

Precise Sn-Doping Modulation for Optimizing CdWO Nanorod Photoluminescence.

The cadmium tungstate rods have been given much attention due to their potential for usage in numerous luminescent applications. We have prepared single crystalline Sn-doped CdSnWO (where x = 0, 1, 3, and 5%) nanorods (NRDs) and characterized them using refined X-ray diffraction and TEM analysis, revealing a monoclinic phase and a crystallite size that decreased from 62 to 38 nm as Sn concentration increased. Precise Sn doping modulation in CdWO NRDs causes surface recombination of electrons and holes, which causes the PL intensity to decrease as the Sn content rises.

Multimodal bioimaging using nanodiamond and gold hybrid nanoparticles.

Hybrid core-shell nanodiamond-gold nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized as a novel multifunctional material with tunable and tailored properties for multifunctional biomedical applications. The combination of nanostructured gold and nanodiamond properties afford new options for optical labeling, imaging, sensing, and drug delivery, as well as targeted treatment. ND@Au core-shell nanoparticles composed of nanodiamond (ND) core doped with Si vacancies (SiV) and Au shell were synthesized and characterized in terms of their biomedical applications.
