Two-dimensional nanomaterials have been widely explored by researchers due to their nanosized thickness and quantum size effect. They were layered double hydroxides, transition metal dichalcogenides, transition metal oxides, and synthetic silicate clays. Among the 2D nanomaterials, graphene and their derivatives were investigated extensively at first as they exhibited exceptional conductivity and a zero-band gap semimetal nature. Though graphene family nanomaterials (GFNs) were utilized for several physicochemical applications, including electronic, electric, mechanic, photonic, magnetic, and catalytic devices, their biomedical applications are still meritorious. Biosensor, bioimaging, drug delivery, tumor ablation, and tissue regeneration are some of them. The outlook of the present book chapters encompasses the preparation of GFNs, physicochemical properties, biomedical applications, biosafety, and their future directions.

is a critical priority pathogen and causes life-threatening acute and biofilm-associated chronic infections. The choice of suitable treatment for complicated infections requires lengthy culturing for species identification from swabs or an invasive biopsy. To date, no fast, pathogen-specific diagnostic tools for infections are available.

Four new macrolides, spirosnuolides A-D (-, respectively), were discovered from the termite nest-derived sp. INHA29. Spirosnuolides A-D are 18-membered macrolides sharing an embedded [6,6]-spiroketal functionality inside the macrocycle and are conjugated with structurally uncommon side chains featuring cyclopentenone, 1,4-benzoquinone, hydroxyfuroic acid, or butenolide moieties.

X-ray dark-field imaging highlights sample structures through contrast generated by sub-resolution features within the inspected volume. Quantifying dark-field signals generally involves multiple exposures for phase retrieval, separating contributions from scattering, refraction, and attenuation. Here, we introduce an approach for non-interferometric X-ray dark-field imaging that presents a single-parameter representation of the sample.

As data grows exponentially across diverse fields, effectively leveraging big data has become increasingly crucial. In data science and computational genomics, however, minority groups, including African Americans, are significantly underrepresented, coupled with the lack of resources and infrastructure in minority-serving institutions. This paper summarizes the second phase of our funded project that aims to enhance the data science capacity of Meharry Medical College (MMC), a Historically Black College/University (HBCU), by providing training and fostering collaborations between data scientists and researchers in basic science and biomedical fields.
