CeXO (X: Fe, Mn) nanoparticles, synthesized using the coprecipitation route, were investigated for their structural, morphological, magnetic, and electrochemical properties using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM), dc magnetization, and cyclic voltammetry methods. The single-phase formation of CeO nanoparticles with FCC fluorite structure was confirmed by the Rietveld refinement, indicating the successful incorporation of Fe and Mn in the CeO matrix with the reduced dimensions and band gap values. The Raman analysis supported the lowest band gap of Fe-doped CeO on account of oxygen non-stoichiometry. The samples exhibited weak room temperature ferromagnetism, which was found to be enhanced in the Fe doped CeO. The NEXAFS analysis supported the results by revealing the oxidation state of Fe to be Fe/Fe in Fe-doped CeO nanoparticles. Further, the room temperature electrochemical performance of CeXO (X: Fe, Mn) nanoparticles was measured with a scan rate of 10 mV s using 1 M KCL electrolyte, which showed that the CeFeO electrode revealed excellent performance with a specific capacitance of 945 Fּ·g for the application in energy storage devices.

The oral mucosa exhibits unique regenerative properties, sometimes referred to as foetal-like wound healing. Researchers from our institute have used sheets of oral mucosa epithelial cells (OMECs) for regenerative medicine applications including cornea replacement and oesophageal epithelial regeneration for stricture prevention. Here, we have isolated exosomes from clinical-grade production of OMEC sheets from healthy human donors ( = 8), aiming to evaluate the clinical potential of the exosomes to stimulate epithelial regeneration and to improve understanding of the mode-of-action of the cells.
