AI Article Synopsis
- Nanomaterials are effective drug sensors because of their high reactivity and electronic sensitivity to drugs, such as cyclophosphamide (CP), as studied using DFT computations with an aluminum carbide (CAl) monolayer.
- The interaction between CP and the CAl monolayer results in significant charge transfer and an adsorption energy of -31.39 kcal/mol, which increases electrical conductivity by reducing the energy gap.
- The findings indicate that the CAl monolayer is a promising electronic drug sensor for CP, with a desorption recovery time of 351 seconds at 598 K.
Article Abstract
Because nanomaterials are highly reactive and electronically sensitive towards a variety of drug molecules, they are thought of as efficient drug sensors. In the present research study, an aluminum carbide (CAl) monolayer is employed and its interaction is examined with cyclophosphamide (CP) by performing DFT computations. The CAl monolayer is highly reactive and sensitive towards CP according to the computations. CP interacts with the CAl monolayer with the adsorption energy of -31.39 kcal/mol. A considerable charge transfer (CT) indicates an enhancement in the conductivity. Also, the charge density is explained based on the electron density differences (EDD). The decrease in CP/CAl energy gap (E) by approximately 52.91% is due to the remarkable effect of adsorption on the LUMO and the HOMO levels. Therefore, due to the decrease in E which can generate an electrical signal, the electrical conductivity is considerably increased. These results suggest that the CAl monolayer can be employed as a proper electronic drug sensor for CP. Also, the recovery time for the desorption process of CP form the surface of CAl is 351 s at 598 K.

Investigation of asphaltene adsorption at rock surfaces plays an important role in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) for the petroleum industry. In this work, the interaction performances of asphaltene adsorption at carbonate dolomite and calcite surfaces are investigated based on experimental and simulation insights. On the one hand, macroscopic interaction performances were investigated by spectroscopy experiments to obtain the Langmuir thermodynamic model and pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model.

Article Synopsis
- Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems, especially stem-cell-derived spheroids, are increasingly recognized for their ability to better replicate in vivo conditions and support cardiac regeneration.* -
- This study evaluated three scaffold-free 3D culture methods: ultra-low attachment plates, hanging drops, and agarose micro-molds, finding that moving from 2D to 3D culture enhances cardiac stem cell differentiation into cardiomyocytes.* -
- Results showed that using agarose micro-molds for 3D culture optimally promotes cardiomyocyte yields, suggesting that 3D culture systems are effective models for studying cardiac regeneration.*
