Graph theory has been widely used to quantitatively analyze complex networks of molecules, materials, and cells. Analyzing the dynamic complex structure of extracellular matrix can predict cell-material interactions but has not yet been demonstrated. In this study, graph theory-based mathematical modeling of RGD ligand graph inter-relation is demonstrated by differentially cutting off RGD-to-RGD interlinkages with flexibly conjugated magnetic nanobars (MNBs) with tunable aspect ratio.

In this study, a novel green poly(amino amide) nanoparticle based on cellulose nanoparticles (Cell-PAMN) was developed for the efficient adsorption of Congo Red dye. Cellulose nanocrystals obtained from acid hydrolysis of cotton linter were functionalized via Oxa-Michael addition of acrylamide on their surface hydroxyl groups, followed by transamidation with ethylenediamine. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, and X-ray diffraction techniques.

Article Synopsis
  • The influenza virus (IFV) is a significant global health concern that affects both health systems and economies, highlighting the need to understand how it causes disease.
  • Ferroptosis, a specific type of cell death linked to iron and lipid damage, plays a role in the body's response to IFV and influences inflammation during the infection.
  • Investigating how ferroptosis works in the context of IFV could lead to new drug treatments that use ferroptosis inhibitors to combat viral infections effectively.

The integration of optoelectronic devices, such as transistors and photodetectors (PDs), into wearables and textiles is of great interest for applications such as healthcare and physiological monitoring. These require flexible/wearable systems adaptable to body motions, thus materials conformable to non-planar surfaces, and able to maintain performance under mechanical distortions. Here, fibre PDs are prepared by combining rolled graphene layers and photoactive perovskites.

Remote health monitoring and treatment serve as critical drivers for advancing health equity, bridging geographical and socioeconomic disparities, ensuring equitable access to quality healthcare for those in underserved or remote regions. By democratizing healthcare, this approach offers timely interventions, continuous monitoring, and personalized care independent of one's location or socioeconomic status, thereby striving for an equitable distribution of health resources and outcomes. Meanwhile, microneedle arrays (MNAs), revolutionize painless and minimally invasive access to interstitial fluid for drug delivery and diagnostics.
