Studies of surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles reduced by aqueous extract of shortleaf spikesedge and their catalytic activity.

This study describes the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using shortleaf spikesedge extract (SSE) to reduce AgNO. Visual observation, in addition to analyses of UV-vis, EDX, XRD, FTIR, and TEM was employed to monitor the formation of AgNPs. The effects of SSE concentration, AgNO concentration, reaction time, pH, and temperature on the synthesis of AgNPs were studied based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band.

Magnetic exposure using Samarium Cobalt (SmC) increased proliferation and stemness of human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hUC-MSCs).

Despite the extensive reports on the potential hazard of magnetic field (MF) exposures on humans, there are also concurrently reported on the improved proliferative property of stem cells at optimum exposure. However, the effect on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of induced static MF (SMF) on human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) using Samarium Cobalt (SmCO5).

Electromagnetic field exposure as a plausible approach to enhance the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in clinically relevant scenarios.

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC)‍-based therapy has been regarded as one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs in the history of modern medicine owing to its myriad of immunoregulatory and regenerative properties. With the rapid progress in the fields of osteo- and musculoskeletal therapies, the demand for MSC-based treatment modalities is becoming increasingly prominent. In this endeavor, researchers around the world have devised new and innovative techniques to support the proliferation of MSCs while minimizing the loss of hallmark features of stem cells.

Improved Drug Delivery System for Cancer Treatment by D-Glucose Conjugation with Eugenol From Natural Product.

Introduction: Bioconjugations are swiftly progressing and are being applied to solve several limitations of conventional Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) such as lack of water solubility, non-specific, and poor bioavailability. The main goals of DDS are to achieve greater drug effectiveness and minimize toxicity to the healthy tissues.

Objectives And Methods: In this study, D-glucose was conjugated with eugenol to target the cancer cells.
