A study was made of the influence of hyperthermia (42 degrees C, 30 min) after irradiation with a dose of 6 Gy on the permeability of cell membranes and the rate of incorporation of 3H-thymidine into DNA of HeLa cells at the stationary stage of the culture growth. Hyperthermia was shown to enhance the damaging effect of radiation on cells at this growth stage. It is suggested that this effect is connected with the impaired development of a series of early (during the first minutes and hours) adaptive reactions of HeLa cells, at the stationary stage of growth, to the effect of radiation.

Unlabelled: Di(2-ethhylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a common plastic rubberizer. DEHP leaches from plastic matrices and is under increasing scrutiny as numerous studies have linked it to negative human health manifestations. Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB) is a human pathogen that typically causes subclinical infections but can sometimes cause severe diseases such as pancreatitis, myocarditis, and meningoencephalitis.

: Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and thus, there is a need for the development of innovative and more effective treatment strategies. The aim of the study was to evaluate two types of nanoparticles-nanospheres and micelles-obtained from PLA-based polymers to discover their potential for delivering four types of phenothiazine derivatives. : The morphology, drug-loading properties, cytocompatibility, hemolytic properties and anticancer activity were analyzed.

Background: The clinical efficacies of anticancer drugs are limited by non-selective toxic effects on healthy tissues and low bioavailability in tumor tissue. Therefore, the development of vehicles that can selectively deliver and release drugs at the tumor site is critical for further improvements in patient survival.
Methods: We prepared a CEC nano-drug delivery system, CEC@ZIF-8, with a zeolite imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) as a carrier, which can achieve the response of folate receptor (FR).

: The development of innovative materials for disease diagnostics and therapeutics is a fast-growing area of scientific research. In this work, we report the development of innovative hydrogels incorporating carbon dots (Cdots) for bioimaging purposes. : The Cdots were prepared using a sustainable and low-cost process, starting with an underused fiber from the Brazilian semiarid region.

: A series of spiro-fused heterocyclic compounds containing cyclopropa[a]pyrrolizidine-2,3'-oxindole and 3-spiro[3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]-hexane]oxindole frameworks were synthesized and studied for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against human erythroleukemia (K562), cervical carcinoma (HeLa), acute T cell leukemia (Jurkat), melanoma (Sk-mel-2) and breast cancer (MCF-7) as well as mouse colon carcinoma (CT26) cell lines.
