Glutamic Acid Modified Gold Nanorod Sensor for the Detection of Calcium ions in Neuronal Cells.

Calcium (Ca) ions play a crucial role in the functioning of neurons, governing various aspects of neuronal activity such as rapid modulation and alterations in gene expression. Ca signaling has a significant impact on the development of diseases and the impairment of neuronal functions. Herein, the study reports a Ca ion sensor in neuronal cells using a gold nanorod.

Layer-by-layer assembled graphitic carbon nitride membranes for water treatment.

Meeting societal demand for potable water supply remains one of the prioritized challenges faced in the modern era. The anthropogenic intervention has led to a dire situation threatening ecological balance and human health. There is an inevitable need for the development of new technologies and innovations in existing technologies for water treatment.

Porphyrin and doxorubicin mediated nanoarchitectonics of copper clusters: a bimodal theranostics for cancer diagnosis and treatment .

Nanoarchitectonics, an emerging strategy, presents a promising alternative for developing highly efficient next-generation functional materials. Multifunctional materials developed using nanoarchitectonics help to mimic biological molecules. Porphyrin-based molecules can be effectively utilized to design such assemblies.

Design of Linear Block Copolymers and Star Terpolymers That Produce Two Length Scales at Phase Separation.

Quasicrystals (materials with long-range order but without the usual spatial periodicity of crystals) were discovered in several soft matter systems in the last 20 years. The stability of quasicrystals has been attributed to the presence of two prominent length scales in a specific ratio, which is 1.93 for the 12-fold quasicrystals most commonly found in soft matter.

Spectrophotometric Evaluation of Translucency of Various Commercially Available Zirconium Oxide Ceramic Systems: An Study.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the translucency of various commercially available zirconium oxide ceramic systems, i.e., Ceramill® Zolid Classic, Ceramill® Zi, and DD Bio ZX²71 by using a dual beam UV-visible spectrophotometer.

Copper Nanocluster Enables Simultaneous Photodynamic and Chemo Therapy for Effective Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment in Vitro.

Metal-nanocluster-mediated cancer diagnosis and therapy has drawn considerable attention in recent years due to the unique optical and photophysical properties of metal clusters. This type of material is highly useful for the diagnosis, treatment, and further follow-up of disease. However, a single treatment modality is not sufficient for a complete cure.

Coping, perceived stress, and job satisfaction among medical interns: The mediating effect of mindfulness.

Background: Past research studies on the exploration of attributes to the stress of doctors/medical interns were reported more often than the types of coping strategies, healthy practices to strengthen their internal resources to deal effectively with the stressful situations.

Objectives: The present study was conducted to find such internal resource - "mindfulness" as a mediator of coping, perceived stress, and job satisfaction among medical interns.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study comprised 120 medical interns forms from various medical colleges in Mangalore were recruited and completed the assessment on mindfulness, cognitive-emotive regulation, coping strategies, perceived stress, and job satisfaction from doctoral interns were collected.
