Electrospun metal oxide-polymer nanofiber composites hold promise for revolutionizing biomedical applications due to their unique combination of electronic and material properties and tailorable functionalities. An investigation into the incorporation of Fe-based nanofillers for optimizing the polyacrylonitrile matrix was conducted, where the systematic and organized arrangement of inorganic components was achieved through non-covalent bonding. These carefully dispersed nanomaterials exhibit the intrinsic electronic characteristics of the polymers and concurrently respond to external magnetic fields.

This is often attributed to the limited substrate scope of enzymes not affording access to vast areas of novel chemical space. Here, we have shown a promiscuous nitroreductase enzyme (NR-55) can be used to produce a panel of functionalised anilines from a diverse panel of aryl nitro starting materials.

- Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are crucial in tumor development and resistance to treatments, and oleuropein, a compound from olive leaves, has promising anti-cancer properties by killing CSCs and enhancing chemotherapy effectiveness.
- The study focuses on targeting resistant CSCs using oleuropein encapsulated in methacrylated alginate (OLE-mALG) within a realistic tumor environment to improve treatment outcomes.
- Methods included creating a 3D breast cancer model and testing this OLE-mALG for its ability to reduce CSC viability and induce apoptosis, ensuring effective delivery and performance of the compound.
Objective: This cross-sectional online questionnaire-based study evaluated the knowledge, awareness, and behaviors of dentists and senior dental students regarding oral cancer (OC).
Materials And Methods: This study included 168 dentists and senior dental students who had completed all theoretical educations and clinical practices. An online survey was administered to all participants to assess their awareness of the risk factors for OC, clinical knowledge, and behaviors.
