Surface modification of nanoparticles and biosensors is a dynamic, expanding area of research for targeted delivery in vivo. For more efficient delivery, surfaces are PEGylated to impart stealth properties, long circulation, and enable enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) in tumor tissues. Previously, BF2 dbm(I)PLA was proven to be a good oxygen nanosensor material for tumor hypoxia imaging in vivo, though particles were applied directly to the tumor and surrounding region. Further surface modification is needed for this dual-emissive oxygen sensitive material for effective intravenous (IV) administration and passive and active delivery to tumors. In this paper, an efficient synthesis of a new dual-emissive material BF2 dbm(I)PLA-mPEG is presented and in vitro stability studies are conducted. It is found that fabricated nanoparticles are stable for 24 weeks as a suspension, while after 25 weeks the nanoparticles swell and both dye and polymer degradation escalates. Preliminary studies show BF2 dbm(I)PLA-mPEG nanoparticle accumulation in a window chamber mammary tumor 24 h after IV injection into mice (C57Bl/6 strain) enabling tumor oxygen imaging.

Hydrogen plays a key role in maximizing the benefits of renewable energy, and the widespread adoption of water electrolyzers and fuel cells, which convert the chemical energy of hydrogen and electrical energy into each other, is strongly desired. Electrocatalysts used in these devices, typically in the form of nanoparticles, are crucial components because they significantly affect cell performance, but their raw materials rely on limited resources. In catalyst research, electrochemical experimental studies using model catalysts, such as single-crystal electrodes, have provided valuable information on reaction and degradation mechanisms, as well as catalyst development strategies aimed at overcoming the trade-off between activity and durability, across spatial scales ranging from the atomic to the nanoscale.

Lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs) have recently emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for degrading extracellular and membrane-associated pathogenic proteins by hijacking lysosome-targeting receptors. However, the antitumor performance of LYTAC is limited by its insufficient tumor accumulation and nonspecific activation. Additionally, the synergistic effects of LYTACs and other therapeutic modalities are crucial.

The macrocyclic biquinazoline ligand, H-Mabiq, presents a central and a peripheral site for the coordination of metal ions, making the adsorption on solid surfaces promising for the creation of self-assembled bimetallic two-dimensional platforms. Here, we apply an on-surface metalation strategy under ultra-high vacuum conditions to guide the synthesis of metalated species and study sequential metalation patterns. We find that cobalt (as well as iron) metalation on the Ag(111) surface preferentially occurs at the macrocyclic centre without further metal coordination to the peripheral site.

Background: Oral health behaviors are the primary determinants of dental health. They undergo modification and stabilization during adolescence, and can persist into adulthood.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the oral health behaviors of individuals aged 12 and 15-18 years, and to examine the impact of these behaviors on the occurrence and severity of dental caries in different age groups.

Interfacial enzyme catalysis is widespread in both nature and industry. Granular starch is a sustainable and abundant raw material for which a rigorous correlation of the surface structure with enzymatic degradation is lacking. Here pullulanase-catalyzed debranching of 12 granular starches varying in amylopectin contents and branch chain contents and lengths is shown to present a biphasic relationship characteristic of the Sabatier principle.
