Erbium oxide nanoparticles induce potent cell death, genomic instability and ROS-mitochondrial dysfunction-mediated apoptosis in U937 lymphoma cells.

Erbium oxide nanoparticles (ErO-NPs) have attracted significant attention for their unique physicochemical properties, including high surface area, biocompatibility, and stability. However, the impact of ErO-NPs on lymphoma cells (LCs) has not been explored, making this an innovative avenue for exploration. Therefore, the current study aimed to explore the influence of ErO-NPs on cell viability, genomic and mitochondrial DNA integrity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and apoptosis induction in human U937 LCs.

Higher education students' perceptions of ChatGPT: A global study of early reactions.

The paper presents the most comprehensive and large-scale global study to date on how higher education students perceived the use of ChatGPT in early 2024. With a sample of 23,218 students from 109 countries and territories, the study reveals that students primarily used ChatGPT for brainstorming, summarizing texts, and finding research articles, with a few using it for professional and creative writing. They found it useful for simplifying complex information and summarizing content, but less reliable for providing information and supporting classroom learning, though some considered its information clearer than that from peers and teachers.
