Lantana camara plant extract catalyzed biosynthesis of graphene-metal nanocomposites with potential cytotoxic activities.

This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of Plant-Ag-graphene nanocomposites through a combination of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, the nanocomposites were formed by catalyzing silver nanoparticles with plant extracts, and the resulting structures were analyzed using advanced instrumentation. In the FTIR analysis, distinctive peaks were observed at 3340 cm⁻1 (O-H stretching), 1740 cm⁻1 (C = O stretching), and 1050 cm⁻1. When compared to silver nanoparticles, the nanocomposites exhibited altered peak intensities, indicating modifications in chemical bonding.

Small Bowel Motility Quantified by Cine MRI to Predict Longer-Term Response in Patients with Crohn's Disease Commencing Biological Therapy: The Motility Study.

Background: Small bowel Crohn's disease (SBCD) is increasingly treated with biological therapies. Predicting response or remission (RoR) for individual patients is difficult and complicates treatment strategy. We aimed to determine if motility magnetic resonance imaging (mMRI) is superior to CRP and fecal calprotectin (FC) for the prediction of RoR at 1 year in patients commencing biologics for SBCD.

Enhanced delivery of doxorubicin via transferrin-coated arylated gold nanostars for cancer therapy.

Transferrin protein-coated gold-aryl nanoparticles (TRF-AuNPs) and nanostars (TRF-AuNSs) were synthesized and characterized. The water-dispersible gold-aryl nanoparticles and nanostars covalently functionalized with a -CH-4-COOH organic shell were synthesized from an aryldiazonium gold(III) salt. TRF-AuNPs had an average size of 10.

Aerosol-Assisted Crystallization Lowers Intrinsic Quantum Confinement and Improves Optoelectronic Performance in FAPbI Films.

FAPbI has emerged as a promising semiconductor for photovoltaic applications offering a suitable bandgap for single-junction cells and high chemical stability. However, device efficiency is negatively affected by intrinsic quantum confinement (QC) effects that manifest as additional peaks in the absorption spectra. Here, we show that aerosol-assisted crystallization is an effective method to improve crystallinity and suppresses regions exhibiting QC in FAPbI.
