Nanomagnetic forces deliver precise mechanical cues to biological systems through the remote pulling of magnetic nanoparticles under a permanent magnetic field. Cortical neurons respond to nanomagnetic forces with cytosolic calcium influx and event rate shifts. However, the underlying consequences of nanomagnetic force modulation on cortical neurons remain to be elucidated.

Gestational breast cancer: distinctive molecular and clinico-epidemiological features.

J Mammary Gland Biol Neoplasia

November 2024

GEICAM Spanish Breast Cancer Group, Madrid, Spain.

Gestational breast cancer (GBC), defined as breast cancer (BC) diagnosed during pregnancy or the first-year post-partum, accounts for 6-15% of BC cases in women aged 20-44 years. GBC has worse prognosis than non-GBC, but reasons behind are not clear. The GEICAM/2012-03 Study (Molecular Characterization of Gestational Breast Cancer) is a multicenter prospective/retrospective observational registry of patients diagnosed with GBC.

Nanomagnetic Guidance Shapes the Structure-Function Relationship of Developing Cortical Networks.

Nano Lett

October 2024

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana 59717, United States.

In this study, we implement large-scale nanomagnetic guidance on cortical neurons to guide dissociated neuronal networks during development. Cortical networks cultured over microelectrode arrays were exposed to functionalized magnetic nanoparticles, followed by magnetic field exposure to guide neurites over 14 days . Immunofluorescence of the axonal protein Tau revealed a greater number of neurites that were longer and aligned with the nanomagnetic force relative to nonguided networks.

Photocatalytic treatment of diverse contaminants of potential concern in oil sands process-affected water.

Chemosphere

October 2024

H2nanO Inc., Kitchener, Ontario, N2R 1E8, Canada; Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 3E5, Canada. Electronic address:

Oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), generated by surface mining in Canada's oil sands, require treatment of environmentally persistent dissolved organic compounds before release to the watershed. Conventional chemical and mechanical treatments have not proved suitable for treating the large quantities of stored OSPW, and the biological recalcitrance of some dissolved organics may not be adequately addressed by conventional passive treatment systems. Previous work has evaluated photocatalytic treatment as a passive advanced oxidation process (P-AOP) for OSPW remediation.
