Mesoporous materials have garnered significant interest because of their porous structure, large surface area and ease of surface functionalization to incorporate the functional groups of choice. Herein, chiral mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CMSNPs) were prepared using quaternary amino silane as the template, tetramethyl orthosilicate as the silica source and proline and cellulose as chiral selector. The developed CMSNPs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, BET surface area analysis and BJH pore size/volume analysis.

A simple, economical, and high-yield method for polyethylene glycol-based extraction of follicular and serum-derived extracellular vesicles.

Tzu Chi Med J

October 2024

Center for Prevention and Therapy of Gynecological Cancers, Department of Research, Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, Hualien, Taiwan.

Objectives: The optimization of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based extracellular vesicles (EVs) extraction from human follicular fluid (FF) and serum was investigated, and their functional analysis was confirmed. The PEG-based EV results were compared to the ExoQuick (ExoQ)-based EV.

Materials And Methods: FF-EVs and serum-EVs were extracted by using different concentrations of PEG (8000).

The overuse of antibiotics has led to the severe contamination of water bodies, posing a considerable hazard to human health. Therefore, the development of an accurate and rapid point-of-care testing (POCT) platform for the quantitative detection of antibiotics is necessary. In this study, Cerium oxide (CeO) and Ferrosoferric oxide (FeO) nanoparticles were simultaneously encapsulated into N-doped nanofibrous carbon microspheres to form of a novel nanozyme (CeFe-NCMzyme) with a porous structure, high surface area, and N-doped carbon material properties, leading to a considerable enhancement of the peroxidase (POD)-like activity compared with that of the CeO or FeO nanoparticles alone.

Novel silver nanoparticle-based biomaterials for combating biofilms.

Front Microbiol

January 2025

Laboratory of Biotechnology, Department of Microbiology, Agricultural Research Center, Animal Health Research Institute, Zagazig, Egypt.

Background: is a significant nosocomial pathogen that has developed resistance to multiple antibiotics, often forming biofilms that enhance its virulence. This study investigated the efficacy of a novel nanoformulation, AgNPs@chitosan-NaF, in combating biofilms.

Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed to assess the antibiotic resistance profile of isolates.

Individual theranostics with an integrated multifunction holds considerable promise for clinical application compared with multicomponent regimes. MnO nanoparticles with an ultrasmall size (4 nm) and mass production capability were developed with dual function of integrated tumor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and therapy. The high valence state of MnO nanocrystals enables a sensitive reaction with the glutathione (GSH) molecule and favorable decomposition ability, which further induces a unique, favorable, variable turn-off and turn-on MRI property.
