Shape control of metal-organic materials on the meso- and macroscale has been an important theme due to emerging properties. Particularly, chemical etching has been useful to create various forms such as core-shells and hollow crystals in metal-organic frameworks. Here we present a unique chemical etching strategy to create trigonal patterned surfaces in metal-organic frameworks. The mechanism suggests that metal-organic polyhedron subunits serve as meta-atoms, playing a crucial role in the formation of trigons on the surface. Such a patterned surface in porous solids can be utilized in meta-surface applications in the foreseeable future.

The combination of the unique properties of diamond and the prospects for its high-technology applications urges the search for new solvents-catalysts for the synthesis of diamonds with rare and unusual properties. Here we report the synthesis of diamond from melts of 15 rare-earth metals (REM) at 7.8 GPa and 1800-2100 °C.

Sustained release of active interferon-α (IFN-α) has been achieved from core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by aqueous precipitation of IFN-α-enriched human serum albumin (HSA-IFN-α) and layer-by-layer (L-b-L) by coating of the IFN-α NPs with poly(sodium-4-styrene) sulphonate (PSS) and chitosan (Chit). The concentration and the pH of HSA solution were optimized during the development of this method. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta-potential, thermal analysis (differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and termogravimetry (TG)), X-ray diffraction (XRD), IFN-α activity and morphology (transmission electron microscope (TEM)) studies were used to control the preparation and analyse the products.

BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke is a dominant contributor to disability and mortality worldwide and is recognized as an important health concern. As a transcription factor triggered via stress, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ) has a crucial impact on differentiation, cell death, and cell growth. However, the role of PPAR-γ and its precise mechanism in cerebral ischemia injury (CII) remain unclear.
