Dynamic Assembly of Microgels and Polymers at Non‐Aqueous Liquid/Liquid Interfaces

Abstract Particle assembly at liquid–liquid interfaces presents a promising bottom‐up strategy for creating supramolecular materials with advanced functionalities. However, the significantly lower interfacial tension observed in immiscible ...

A hybrid nanomodulator enables metabolic microenvironment remodeling for potent immunotherapy against lung adenocarcinoma

STING agonist-based immunotherapy holds considerable promise for cancer treatment, yet its efficacy against immunologically “cold” tumors such as lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains markedly limited. A major obstacle lies in the highly glyco...

Lysosome blockade induces divergent metabolic programs in macrophages and tumours for cancer immunotherapy

Abstract Background Platinum-drugs based chemotherapy in clinic increases the potency of tumor cells to produce M2 macrophages, thus leading to poor anti-metastatic activity and immunosuppression. Lysosome metabolism is critical for cancer ...

THE CHALLENGE OF ‘TECHNOLOGICAL CHOICES’FOR MATERIALS SCIENCE APPROACHES IN ARCHAEOLOGY*

Recently several anthropological and sociological studies have interpreted technologies as cultural choices that are determined as much by local perceptions and the social context fly any material constraints or purely functional criteria. ...

Functionalization of polyoxometalates: towards advanced applications in catalysis and materials science

Functionalization via covalent grafting of organic functions allows to tune the redox and acid-base properties, and the solubility of polyoxometalates, to enhance their stability and biological activity and to reduce their toxicity, to faci...

Prediction of a Portland Cement's Properties from its Chemical and Mineralogical Compositon. Tricalcium Silicate Hydration: A Historical Overview. Thermodynamics of Hydration Reactions. Tricalcium Silicate Hydration: A Historical Overview. ...

A review on the role of materials science in solar cells

Materials science of DNA

This article critically reviews the emerging field of DNA materials science, which is expected to add a new horizon to the conventional materials science landscape. The introduction provides a short overview on recent developments in the no...

Materials for Total Hip Joint Prostheses: Biaxial Flexural Strength of Two Ceramic Systems

Total hip joint replacement is one of the most successful orthopaedic surgeries in the last decade. Essential part of total hip joint prostheses is the mobile joint “hemispherical head - hemispherical cup”. Functional properties and durabil...

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems: Critical Parameters for Surface Hygrothermal Behaviour

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are often used in Europe. Despite its thermal advantages, low cost, and ease of application, this system has serious problems of biological growth causing the cladding defacement. Recent...

Effect of Ageing on a Novel Cobalt-Free Precipitation-Hardenable Martensitic Alloy Produced by SLM: Mechanical, Tribological and Corrosion Behaviour

This study investigates the mechanical, tribological, and electrochemical behaviour of a novel precipitation-hardenable martensitic alloy produced by selective laser melting (SLM). The alloy was specifically engineered with an optimised com...

Extraction of nano-crystalline cellulose for development of aerogel: Structural, morphological and antibacterial analysis

In the present decades, nanocellulose has been very popular in the field of nanotechnology and is receiving much attention from researchers because of its advantageous physicochemical properties, high aspect ratio, and high specific strengt...

The Emerging Role of Nanomedicine in the Management of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A State-of-the-Art Review

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease that can lead to end-stage liver disease needing a liver transplant. Many pharmacological approaches are used to reduce the disease progression in NAFLD. However, cu...

Silver Nanoparticles Suppress Apple Fire Blight: Antibacterial Activity, Reduced Carbohydrate-Containing EPS Content, and Altered Host Antioxidant Responses

The present study evaluated the phytoprotective activity of silver nanoparticles stabilized with sodium amphopolycarboxyglycinate (AgNPs-APCG) against apple fire blight caused by Erwinia amylovora. A highly colloidally stable AgNPs-APCG dis...

Sustainable Farming: Nanofiber from the Pupunha Heart of Palm Sheath (<i>Bactris gasipaes</i>)-Enhanced Diets for Growing Rabbits and Their Health Impacts

The use of nanofibers in farm animal diets can enhance nutrient absorption, minimize environmental problems, and generate a sustainable source of income. In this study, we investigated the effects of the partial inclusion of nanofibers prod...
