In this study, the mechanism by which combined surfactants affect the dispersion stability of magnetic nanofluids (MNFs) was improved. Two stable lubricating oil-based magnetic nanofluids with high viscosity and one with low viscosity were prepared by chemical coprecipitation. Erucic acid and octanoic acid were used as the combined surfactants to modify the FeO nanoparticles (MNPs). The size and morphology of the particles were observed using TEM. The rheological properties were tested with a rotational rheometer. The magnetization of the lubricating oil-based magnetic nanofluids was characterized by VSM. The results indicated that the prepared magnetic nanofluids had high viscosity, high magnetism, and good stability. This study provided ideas for the preparation of a high-viscosity magnetic nanofluid. By using combined surfactants, sufficient steric repulsion energy can be provided to counteract the attraction energy of sterically protected nanoparticles, thus achieving a balance of the dispersion stability of MNF.

Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons (iNs) have been widely used as models of neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative diseases. Coating cell culture vessels with extracellular matrixes (ECMs) gives structural support and facilitates cell communication and differentiation, ultimately enhances neuronal functions. However, the relevance of different ECMs to the natural environment and their impact on neuronal differentiation have not been fully characterized.

Hematoxylin (HT) is a natural staining dye used in histopathology, often combined with Eosin for H&E staining. A poly(hematoxylin-co-l-lysine) (p(HT-co-l)) nanonetwork was synthesized through a one-step Mannich condensation reaction using formaldehyde as a linking agent. The resulting p(HT-co-l) nanogels had an average size of about 200 nm and exhibited a smooth surface and desirable functional groups such as -OH, -NH, and -COOH, as recognized by FT-IR analysis.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a commonly used immunosuppressant. In the human body, MPA is metabolized into mycophenolic acid 7-O-glucuronide (MPAG) and mycophenolic acid acyl-glucuronide (AcMPAG) mainly through liver glucuronidation, which involves UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGTs) and transfer proteins. Research has indicated that the pharmaceutical excipient PEG400 can impact drug processes in the body, potentially affecting the pharmacokinetics of MPA.

Anisotropic particles have a wide range of applications in materials science such as emulsion stabilization, oil-water separation, and catalysis due to their asymmetric structure and properties. Nevertheless, designing and synthesizing large quantities of anisotropic particles with controlled morphologies continue to present considerable challenges. In this study, we successfully synthesized anisotropic microspheres using a soap-free seed emulsion polymerization method.
