Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have emerged as promising candidates for cancer therapy due to their unique physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. In this study, we investigate the synthesis, characterization, and therapeutic potential of AuNPs in breast cancer treatment. Further, it establishes a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms by which AuNPs suppress angiogenesis and breast cancer growth, identifying novel targets and signaling nodes contributing to the anti-tumor effects of AuNPs.

Background: Nanotechnology has been recognized as a viable technology for enhancing agriculture, particularly in the plant pathogen management area. Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) is a global pathogen that affects many plant species, especially economically valuable crops. Currently, there is less data on the interaction of nanoparticles with phytopathogens, particularly viruses.

Article Synopsis
  • Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as two or more consecutive miscarriages and may be influenced by immune system and genetic factors, particularly the Vitamin D Binding Protein (VDBP).
  • The study involved 198 women with a history of multiple miscarriages, focusing on the role of Vitamin D levels and its impact on immune function, using various laboratory techniques to analyze these relationships.
  • Results indicated that low Vitamin D is linked to reduced natural killer (NK) cell activity and altered protein levels (like VDBP and HLA-G1), suggesting that Vitamin D deficiency could disrupt adenosine metabolism, contributing to reproductive complications.
