Iron oxide nanoparticles are widely used for biological applications thanks to their outstanding balance between magnetic properties, surface-to-volume ratio suitable for efficient functionalization and proven biocompatibility. Their development for MRI or magnetic particle hyperthermia concentrates much of the attention as these nanomaterials are already used within the health system as contrast agents and heating mediators. As such, the constant improvement and development for better and more reliable materials is of key importance. On this basis, this review aims to cover the rational design of iron oxide nanoparticles to be used as MRI contrast agents or heating mediators in magnetic hyperthermia, and reviews the state of the art of their use as nanomedicine tools.

Background: Ferroptosis is a recently studied form of programmed cell death characterized by lipid peroxides accumulation in the cells. This process occurs when a cell's antioxidant capacity is disturbed resulting in the inability of the cell to detoxify the toxic peroxides. Two major components that regulate ferroptosis are cysteine and iron.

There is still much to be learned about the properties of siderophores and their applications. This study was designed to characterize and optimize the production of the siderophore produced by a marine bacterium Pseudomonas sp. strain ASA235 and then evaluate their use in bioleaching of rare earth elements (REEs) from spent Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

Exsolution is a promising approach for fabricating oxide-supported metal nanocatalysts through redox-driven metal precipitation. A defining feature of exsolved nanocatalysts is their anchored metal-oxide interface, which exhibits exceptional structural stability in (electro)catalysis. However, the electronic interactions at this unique interface remain unclear, despite their known impact on catalytic performance.

Iron overload in transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients represents a significant public health challenge due to its high mortality rate and risks of severe complications. Therefore, developing safe and effective therapeutic modalities for managing iron overload is critical, as current animal models inadequately replicate human conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of intravenous iron dextran on hepatocyte morphology, liver iron concentration, and serum iron profile changes as a model for hemochromatosis.

At present, the parameters of the controllers in hot rolling roughing microtension control systems are not adaptively adjustable to variations in working conditions, which compromises both width accuracy and production stability. To address this issue, this paper introduces an ATKB-PID adaptive micro tension control method. This method incorporates a linear attention layer and utilizes a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm to predict the optimal learning rate and inertia coefficient under actual operating conditions.
