Superparamagnetic mesoporous Mg-Fe bi-metal oxides with varied Mg-Fe atomic ratios have been successfully synthesized as solid base catalysts. The M2F-400 catalyst with Mg/Fe atomic ratio = 2 showed extraordinarily high activities for Knoevenagel reactions even at room temperature. It could be magnetically separated, recycled, and reused for at least five cycles.

Intra-Mesopore Immunoassay Based on Core-Shell Structured Magnetic Hierarchically Porous ZIFs.

It is crucial yet challenging to sensitively quantify low-abundance biomarkers in blood for early screening and diagnosis of various diseases. Herein, an analytical model of intra-mesopore immunoassay (IMIA) was proposed, which was competent to examine various biomarkers at the femtomolar level. The success is rooted in the design of an innovative superparamagnetic core-shell structure with FeO nanoparticles (NPs) at the core and hierarchically porous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks as a shell (FeO@HPZIF-8), achieved through a soft-template directed self-assembly coupled with confinement growth mechanism.

Two features of macrophages make them attractive for targeted transport of drugs: they efficiently take up a broad spectrum of nanoparticles (NPs) and, by sensing cytokine gradients, they are attracted to the sites of infection and inflammation. To expand the potential of macrophages as drug carriers, we investigated whether macrophages could be simultaneously coloaded with different types of nanoparticles, thus equipping individual cells with different functionalities. We used superparamagnetic iron oxide NPs (SPIONs), which produce apoptosis-inducing hyperthermia when exposed to an alternating magnetic field (AMF), and co-loaded them on macrophages together with drug-containing NPs (inorganic-organic nanoparticles (IOH-NPs) or mesoporous silica NPs (MSNs)).

A hybrid hydrogel nanocomposite based on the polysaccharide-gum ghatti, has been made and evaluated as an adsorbent material for wastewater treatment. The nanocomposite is composed of a network of gum ghatti-graft-poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid) with magnetite nanoparticles embedded within. This functional material Ggh-g-PAMPS/FeO has been characterized by FTIR, TGA, SEM, EDS, XRD, BET and VSM techniques.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers are exploring "smart" composites that can change their characteristics in response to external triggers, such as becoming softer for easier excision of implants.
  • * This study demonstrates the use of functional organosilica nanoparticles that respond to alternating magnetic fields, generating heat and enabling quick detachment from the polymer matrix through a retro-Diels-Alder reaction.

This study investigates the anticancer effects of SPION-based silica nanoparticles carrying 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or oxaliplatin (OX), and metformin (MET) on colorectal cancer cells. Nanocarriers were equipped with pH-responsive gold gatekeepers for controlled release, PEGylation for longer circulation, and folic acid (FA) for targeted delivery. The effects were evaluated by investigating cell viability, cellular uptake, flow cytometry, and clonogenic assay in vitro.
