The core characteristics of a perfect catalyst include good activity, simple design, excellent stability, easy recovery from reaction mixture, recyclability, and have the provision for easy scale up. The ease in synthesis, recyclability and scale up makes the dip catalyst a major contender in this regard which possess most of the aforementioned characteristics. In this work, we report a dip catalyst made of cellulose, isolated from agriculture residue (sugarcane bagasse), in which biogenically synthesized palladium nanoparticles were dispersed. The prepared dip catalyst was characterized by FESEM, EDS, XRD, ATR-IR, TGA, TEM, XPS and ICP-OES analysis. Also, the activity of the dip catalyst was studied in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and was found to give excellent conversion with 15 recycles. Further, the activity of dip catalyst in C5-arylation of 2-substituted thiophenes was evaluated for which promising yields were obtained.

Background: Approximately half of patients with localised, high-risk soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity develop metastases. We aimed to assess whether the addition of pembrolizumab to preoperative radiotherapy and surgery would improve disease-free survival.
Methods: We completed an open-label, randomised clinical trial in patients with grade 2 or 3, stage III undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma or dedifferentiated or pleomorphic liposarcoma of the extremity and limb girdle.

The application of environmentally friendly and sustainable catalysts requires efficient and safe preparation methods using cheap and renewable materials. Although many metal nanoparticles (NPs) have low colloidal stability, they are still very effective as catalysts. Using a straightforward method, we developed a bacterial cellulose-glycol chitosan-silver (BC-GCS-Ag) nanocomposite, by introducing both AgNPs and self-crosslinked GCS within the BC network.

Immobilizing molecular catalysts on electro-conductive supports (for example, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, CNTs) represent a promising way to well-defined catalyst/support interfaces, which has shown appreciable performance for catalytic transformation. However, their full potential is far from achieved due to insufficient utilization of the intrinsic activity for each immobilized molecular catalyst, especially at loadings that should allow decent current densities. In the present work, we discover host-guest interaction between tetra-crown ether substituted cobalt phthalocyanine and metal ions, for example K ions, not only eliminate catalyst aggregation at immobilization procedures but also reinforce catalyst/support interactions by additional electrostatic attractions under operational conditions.

Drug-eluting stents are commonly utilized for the treatment of coronary artery disease, where they maintain vessel patency and prevent restenosis. However, problems with prolonged vascular healing, late thrombosis, and neoatherosclerosis persist; these could potentially be addressed via the local generation of nitric oxide (NO) from endogenous substrates. Herein, we develop amine-functionalized graphene as a NO-generating coating on polylactic acid (PLA)-based bioresorbable stent materials.
