Phytochemical strategies in glioblastoma therapy: Mechanisms, efficacy, and future perspectives.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is foremost the most aggressive primary brain tumor, presenting extensive therapeutic challenges due to its high invasiveness, genetic complexity, and resistance to established treatments. Despite substantial advances in surgical and chemotherapeutic interventions, the median survival rate for patients is only 14.6 months, and the prognosis remains poor.

Chalcone derived bis-organosilane and its magnetic nanoparticles: Unveiling precision in selective Cu(II) ion detection and elucidating biocompatibility.

The escalating concern regarding the adverse effects of metal ion toxicity on both human health and environmental ecosystems necessitates the development of efficient detection methodologies. This study presents a focused investigation on the selective and sensitive detection of Cu(II) ions employing hybrid magnetic nanoparticles derived from chalcone-based bis-organosilane. These nanoparticles exhibit a notably low detection limit in the nano-scale range, rendering the sensor highly sensitive to Copper(II) ion detection while maintaining robust anti-interference capabilities, even in the presence of diverse metal ions.
