Magnetic nanocomposites based on hydroxyapatite were prepared by a one-step process using the hydrothermal coprecipitation method to sinter iron oxides (FeO and γ-FeO). The possibility of expanding the proposed technique for the synthesis of magnetic composite with embedded biologically active substance (BAS) of the 2-arylaminopyrimidine group was shown. The composition, morphology, structural features, and magnetic characteristics of the nanocomposites synthesized with and without BAS were studied. The introduction of BAS into the composite synthesis resulted in minor changes in the structural and physical properties. The specificity of the chemical bonds between BAS and the hydroxyapatite-magnetite core was revealed. The kinetics of the BAS release in a solution simulating the stomach environment was studied. The cytotoxicity of (HAP)FexOy and (HAP)FexOy + BAS composites was studied in vitro using the primary culture of human liver carcinoma cells HepG2. The synthesized magnetic composites with BAS have a high potential for use in the biomedical field, for example, as carriers for magnetically controlled drug delivery and materials for bone tissue engineering.

This review highlights recent progress in utilizing iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) as a safer alternative to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It consolidates findings from multiple studies, discussing current T contrast agents (CAs), the synthesis techniques for IONPs, the theoretical principles for designing IONP-based MRI CAs, and the key factors that impact their T contrast efficacy, such as nanoparticle size, morphology, surface modifications, valence states, and oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, we summarize current strategies to achieve IONP-based responsive CAs, including self-assembly/disassembly and distance adjustment.

Antibiotic tolerance presents a significant challenge in eradicating bacterial infections, as tolerant strains can survive antibiotic treatment, contributing to the recurrence of infections and the development of resistance. However, unlike antibiotic resistance, tolerance is not detectable by standard susceptibility assays such as minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) tests. Consequently, antibiotic tolerance often goes unnoticed in clinical settings.

Background: Little is known about the associations between choline metabolites (total choline, phosphatidylcholine, and glycine) and the incidence of heart failure (HF).
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the associations of choline metabolites with incident HF and examine the effect modification by genetic susceptibility.
Methods: This prospective cohort study followed 245,072 participants from the UK Biobank from baseline (2006-2010) until March 30, 2023.

Solid electrolytes (SEs) are crucial for advancing next-generation rechargeable battery technologies, but their commercial viability is partially limited by expensive precursors, unscalable synthesis, or low ionic conductivity. Lithium tetrahaloaluminates offer an economical option but exhibit low Li conductivities with high activation energy barriers. This study reports the synthesis of lithium aluminum chalcohalide (LiAlClS) using inexpensive precursors one-step mechanochemical milling.
