Controlling the optical properties of chiral nematic mesoporous organosilica films with bioadditives.

Chiral nematic mesoporous organosilica (CNMO) films have unique iridescent properties that make them attractive candidates for decorations, sensing and photonics. However, it has proven difficult to control the colour and porosity of CNMO films. Here, we have explored the addition of a range of biodegradable and eco-friendly additives to tune the helical pitch and, hence, the colour of the CNMO materials.

Healthcare professionals' perceptions of hypnotherapy in cancer care: Development and validation of a survey.

Background And Purpose: Hypnotherapy has shown promise in cancer care for alleviating pain, managing nausea, reducing anxiety and fatigue, and improving overall quality of life. Despite its potential benefits, there remains a significant gap between evidence and clinical practice. One way to bridge this gap is to assess healthcare professionals' perceptions and address them accordingly.

Factor H binding protein (FHbp): An evaluation of genotypic diversity across serogroups.

serogroups A, B, C, W, X, and Y cause invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) worldwide. Factor H binding protein (FHbp), a key meningococcal virulence factor, is an antigen included in both licensed meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) vaccines. This review examines the biology and epidemiology of FHbp and assesses the ability and potential of FHbp vaccine antigens to protect against IMD.
