Polyamorphism in organic molecules is a poorly understood and controversial phenomenon related to amorphous materials. Although very few studies, including our own, have demonstrated the existence of polyamorphism in drug molecules, this solid-state phenomenon is still very elusive and the investigation of its occurrence in other drugs is fundamental to understand its formation. Indomethacin (IND) has been recently discussed in the literature as a potential drug exhibiting polyamorphism.

Lactoferrin (LF) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) are recognized for their potent osteogenic properties. However, the osteogenic activity of LF-EGCG complexes is not fully understood. In this study, both non-covalent and covalent LF-EGCG complexes with different LF : EGCG ratios were prepared, and their effects on the LF structure and thermal stability were investigated using circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry.

Enhanced Tumor Ablation and Immune Activation Via Irreversible Electroporation and Functionalized Vermiculite Nanosheets.

Small

March 2025

State Key Laboratory of Advanced Medical Materials and Devices, Medical College, Tianjin University, Tianjin, 300072, China.

Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a minimally invasive, non-thermal tumor ablation technique that induces nanoscale membrane perforation, leading to immunogenic cell death (ICD). However, IRE alone is limited by uneven electric field attenuation, incomplete tumor ablation, and the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment. To address these challenges, a multifunctional nanomaterial, vermiculite nanosheets/calcium peroxide nanosheets (VMT/CaO NSs), is developed to enhance the efficacy of IRE.

Macroscopically Self-Aligned and Chiralized Carbon Nanotubes: From Filtration to Innovation.

ACS Nano

Because of their natural 1D structure combined with intricate chiral variations, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit various exceptional physical properties, such as ultrahigh thermal conductivity and diameter-dependent electrical behavior, ranging from semiconducting to metallic. While CNTs excel individually at the nanoscale, their 1D and chiral nature can be lost on a macroscopic scale when they are randomly assembled. Therefore, the alignment and organization of CNTs in macroscopic structures is crucial for harnessing their full potential.
