The confined internal space of a liquid marble, as well as its porous and non-adhesive shell, offers an attractive application possibility - accommodating living cells inside liquid marbles. Cancer cells in suspension may aggregate to form three dimensional structures, also known as cancer cell spheroids (CCS). In this study, CCS formation inside liquid marble is investigated. This liquid marble application opens significant and novel avenues for biomedical applications and cancer research.

Purpose: The purpose of this laboratory study was to evaluate common materials for isolation and neutralizing agents for hydrofluoric acid (HF). Additionally, surfaces of lithium disilicate ceramic were examined for precipitates after the etching and neutralizing process.
Materials And Methods: The HF permeability of the following isolation agents (n=8) was investigated by positioning them over pH indicator paper under airtight conditions and applying 9% HF: latex rubber dam; elastic plastomer rubber dam; nitrile gloves; latex gloves; liquid rubber dam; Teflon; AZ strip.

This study proposed a novel closed-wet accelerated carbonation method based on ultrasonic chemistry for treating municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA), assessing various reaction parameters (time, temperature, CO pressure, ultrasonic power, and alkaline additives) on the detoxification and synergistic carbon fixation. The mechanisms of carbon sequestration, heavy metal migration-stabilization, and PCDD/Fs migration-degradation were elucidated. Key findings include the reaction kinetic of MSWI FA ultrasonic carbonation aligning with the surface coverage model (R > 0.

Foraminifera are unicellular protists capable of precipitating calcite tests, which fossilize and preserve geochemical signatures of past environmental conditions dating back to the Cambrian period. The biomineralization mechanisms responsible for the mineral structures, which are key to interpreting palaeoceanographic signals, are poorly understood. Here, we present an extensive analysis of the test-bound proteins.

Objective: The anti-caries effects of titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) are well-documented, but its low pH challenges clinical application. This study evaluated PEG-citrate dendrimer as a carrier to enhance TiF4 stability and efficacy.
Methods: PEG-citrate dendrimer and TiF4-dendrimer gel were synthesized, and their structures confirmed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Hydrogen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR), and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).
