Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction, characterized by high morbidity and mortality, has now become a serious health hazard for human beings. Conventional surgical interventions to restore blood flow can rapidly relieve acute myocardial ischemia, but the ensuing myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) and subsequent heart failure have become medical challenges that researchers have been trying to overcome. The pathogenesis of MI/RI involves several mechanisms, including overproduction of reactive oxygen species, abnormal mitochondrial function, calcium overload, and other factors that induce cell death and inflammatory responses. These mechanisms have led to the exploration of antioxidant and inflammation-modulating therapies, as well as the development of myocardial protective factors and stem cell therapies. However, the short half-life, low bioavailability, and lack of targeting of these drugs that modulate these pathological mechanisms, combined with liver and spleen sequestration and continuous washout of blood flow from myocardial sites, severely compromise the expected efficacy of clinical drugs. To address these issues, employing conventional nanocarriers and integrating them with contemporary biomimetic nanocarriers, which rely on passive targeting and active targeting through precise modifications, can effectively prolong the duration of therapeutic agents within the body, enhance their bioavailability, and augment their retention at the injured myocardium. Consequently, these approaches significantly enhance therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing toxic side effects. This article reviews current drug delivery systems used for MI/RI, aiming to offer a fresh perspective on treating this disease.

Abstract
The term "biomass" encompasses all substances found in the natural world that were once alive or derived from living organisms or their byproducts. These substances consist of organic molecules containing hydrogen, typically oxygen, frequently nitrogen, and small amounts of heavy, alkaline earth and alkali metals. Magnetic biochar refers to a type of material derived from biomass that has been magnetized typically by adding magnetic components such as magnetic iron oxides to display magnetic properties. These materials are extensively applicable in widespread areas like environmental remediation and catalysis. The magnetic properties of these compounds made them ideal for practical applications through their easy separation from a reaction mixture or environmental sample by applying a magnetic field. With the evolving global strategy focused on protecting the planet and moving towards a circular, cost-effective economy, natural compounds, and biomass have become particularly important in the field of biochemistry. The current research explores a comparative analysis of the versatility and potential of biomass for eliminating dyes as a sustainable, economical, easy, compatible, and biodegradable method. The elimination study focused on the removal of various dyes as pollutants. Various operational parameters which influenced the dye removal process were also discussed. Furthermore, the research explained, in detail, adsorption kinetic models, types of isotherms, and desorption properties of magnetic biochar adsorbents. This comprehensive review offers an advanced framework for the effective use of magnetic biochar, removing dyes from textile wastewater.

Abstract
Azurin, found in the periplasm of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has garnered significant attention as a potential anticancer agent in recent years. High-level secretion of proteins into the culture medium, offers a significant advantage over periplasmic or cytoplasmic expression. In this study, for the first time, P. aeruginosa cells were immobilized with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to ensure effective, simple and quick separation of the cells and secretion of periplasmic azurin protein to the culture medium. For this purpose, polyethyleneimine-coated iron oxide (Fe3O4@PEI) MNPs were synthesized and MNPs containing Fe up to 600 ppm were found to be non-toxic to the bacteria. The highest extracellular azurin level was observed in LB medium compared to peptone water. The cells immobilized with 400 ppm Fe-containing MNPs secreted the highest protein. Lastly, the immobilized cells were found suitable for azurin secretion until the sixth use. Thus, the magnetic nanoparticle immobilization method facilitated the release of azurin as well as the simple and rapid separation of cells. This approach, by facilitating protein purification and enabling the reuse of immobilized cells, offers a cost-effective means of protein production, reducing waste cell formation, and thus presents an advantageous method.

Fabrication of novel glutathione-Fe 3O 4-loaded/activated carbon encapsulated sand bionanocomposites for enhanced removal of diethyl phthalate from aqueous environment in a vertical flow reactor. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 260:119588. [PMID: 39019136 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
The extensive use of plasticizers in various industries has made Diethyl phthalate (DEP), a serious threat to the environment and ecological water security, owing to its complex-structure and low-biodegradability. Thus, the present study aimed to design a sustainable sand-coated nano glutathione (GSH) -Fe3O4-loaded/activated carbon (AC) bionanocomposite (AC-GSH-Fe3O4@sand bionanocomposite) for effective removal of DEP from water. Characterization results suggested bionanocomposites' rough and irregular texture due to the uneven distribution of AC and Fe3O4 nanoparticles over the sand. The XRD spectra indicated high crystallinity of bionanocomposites, while the FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of all individual components, i.e., GSH, AC, Fe3O4, and sand. EDX-mapping, AFM, and TGA further verified its elemental composition, topographical changes and thermal stability. The influence of pH (3, 7, 9), bed height (2, 4, 6) cm, and flow rate (2.5, 3.5, 4.5) mL min-1 were studied in a dynamic system with an initial DEP concentration of 50 mg L-1 to investigate the removal behavior of the bionanocomposites. The best DEP removal efficiency (90.18 %) was achieved over 28-h at pH 9, bed-height-4 cm, and flow-rate-3.5 mL min-1, with an optimum qmax-200.25 mg g-1 as determined through Thomas-model. Breakthrough curves were predicted using various column models, and the corresponding parameters essential for column-reactor process design were calculated. The high reusability up to the 10th cycle (≥83.32%) and the effective treatment in complex matrices (tap-water: 90.11 %, river-water: 89.72 %, wastewater: 83.83%) demonstrated bionanocomposites' prominent sustainability. Additionally, the production cost at 6.64 USD per Kg, underscores its potentiality for industrial application. Phytotoxicity assessment on mung-bean revealed better root (5.02 ± 0.27 cm) and shoot (17.64 ± 0.35 cm) growth in the bionanocomposite-treated DEP samples over the untreated samples. Thus, AC-GSH-Fe3O4@sand bionanocomposites could be considered a highly-sustainable, low-cost technique for the effective removal of DEP and other phthalate-esters from contaminated matrices.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance has increased in recent years, especially for pathogens like Klebsiella pneumoniae. Discovering and developing new drugs is challenging due to the high resistance of pathogens. Metal nanoparticles have been widely used in recent years to overcome and treat infections. Gallic acid-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs-GA) were synthesized in a simple and cost-effective method. The morphology characteristics of synthesized IONPs-GA were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. IONPs were mostly spherical in shape with sizes ranging between 32 and 61 nm. All analyses used in this study confirmed the successful coating of gallic acid to iron oxide. Biological activities were studied phenotypically and on the molecular level, including antibacterial, antibiofilm, and mRNA levels of capsule-associated genes. The results showed high antimicrobial activity of the synthesized nanoparticles against different G+ve and G-ve bacteria. The highest activity was recorded against Staphylococcus aureus (43 mm) and K. pneumoniae (22 mm). The MIC of IONPs against K. pneumoniae was 3.12 mg/mL and SEM analysis showed adhering the IONPs-GA to the cell surface of K. pneumoniae resulted in disrupting the cell membrane. Different concentrations of sub-MIC inhibited K. pneumoniae biofilm formation with the highest inhibition percentage at ½ × MIC (66.86%). Also, the synthesized IONPs-GA differently affected the regulation and mRNA level of capsule-associated genes in K. pneumoniae. The results indicated that IONPs-GA could be useful in biological applications such as in drug delivery and treatment wide range of pathogens. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Gallic acid was successfully coated into iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized in a simple way. IONPs-GA was morphologically characterized using FTIR, XRD, and SEM. Evaluation the activity of IONPs-GA as antibacterial, antibiofilm, and study the potential level of mRNA affected by IONPs-GA.

Abstract
With the development of industrialization and urbanization, heavy metal (HM) pollution has become an urgent problem in many countries. The use of microorganisms to control HM pollution has attracted the attention of many scholars due to its advantages of mild conditions, low process cost, and no secondary pollution. In this context, this review aimed to compile recent advances on the potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as HMs biosorbents. As a food-safe class of probiotic, LAB can not only be used for HM remediation in soil and wastewater, but most importantly, can be used for metal removal in food. The extracellular adsorption and intracellular accumulation are the main mechanisms of HM removal by LAB. Lactic acid (LA) fermentation is also one of the removal mechanisms, especially in the food industry. The pH, temperature, biomass, ion concentration and adsorption time are the essential parameters to be considered during the bioremediation. Although the LAB remediation is feasible in theory and lab-scale experiments, it is limited in practical applications due to its low efficiency. Therefore, the commonly used methods to improve the adsorption efficiency of LAB, including pretreatment and mixed-cultivation, are also summarized in this review. Finally, based on the review of literature, this paper presents the emerging strategies to overcome the low adsorption capacity of LAB. This review proposes the future investigations required for this field, and provides theoretical support for the practical application of LAB bioremediation of HMs.

Abstract
With the promotion of portable energy storage devices and the popularization of electric vehicles, lithium-ion battery (LiB) technology plays a crucial role in modern energy storage systems. Over the past decade, the demands for LiBs have centered around high energy density and long cycle life. These parameters are often determined by the characteristics of the active materials in the electrodes. Given its high abundance, environmental friendliness, low cost and high capacity, magnetite (Fe3O4) emerges as a promising anode material. However, the practical application of Fe3O4 faces challenges, such as significant volume expansion during cycling. To overcome these obstacles and facilitate the commercialization of Fe3O4, a comprehensive understanding of its properties and behavior is essential. This review provides an overview of recent Fe3O4 research advances, focusing on its synthesis, factors influencing its electrochemical performance, and characterization techniques. By thoroughly understanding the characteristics of Fe3O4 in LiB applications, we can optimize its properties and enhance its performance, thereby paving the way for its widespread use in energy storage applications. Additionally, the review concludes with perspectives on promoting the commercialization of Fe3O4 in LiBs and future research directions.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are a promising tool for biomedical applications, including drug delivery, imaging, and magnetic hyperthermia. However, their tendency to agglomerate limits their performance efficiency. To overcome this limitation, a coating can be applied during or after synthesis. This work investigates the effect of three biocompatible coatings, namely sodium citrate, (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), and dextran, on controlling the agglomeration of iron oxide nanoparticles. Various experimental techniques were used to characterize the structural and magnetic properties of the coated nanoparticles, including cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), magnetometry, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering. The results indicate that the coatings effectively stabilize the nanoparticles, leading to clusters of different sizes that modify their magnetic behaviour due to magnetic inter-particle interactions. The oxidation kinetics of the nanoparticles prepared with the various coating materials were investigated to characterize their oxidation behaviour and stability over time. This research provides valuable insights into the design of an optimized nanoparticle functionalization strategy for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Spent lithium battery is a polymetallic waste, and valuable to be recovered as Li-bearing chemical with the barriers of impurities separation, especially Fe and Al. Here in, Li-rich cathode powder was manually disassembled from spent battery, and then recovered as lithiophosphate plate in consideration of effective separation of impure Fe/Al. The powder comprised of 23.2% Fe, 3.2% Al, 5.5% Li and 19.6% P, and then dissolved by azotic acid as Li-rich solution. When the solution was heated to 190°C for 10 h with the supplementary of saccharose, more than 99.9% Fe and 98.9% Al were removed as spherical giniite particles, in accordance with the rest of Fe/Al at the concentrations of 2.1 and 14 mg/L, whilst the loss of Li was less than 1.5%. But without saccharose, the Fe/Al removals only achieved by 99.2% and 52.1%. It is also found that the Fe/Al/Li removal achieved by 99.6%, 96% and 25.3% after adjusting the solution to pH 2.7 by NaOH. After hydrothermal treatment, the rest Li can be recycled as lithiophosphate plate by pH adjustment, in contrast to the recovery efficiency of 98.5% Li. Such method raised a facile route to effectively separate impure Fe/Al from Li-rich cathode powder, and showed promising application in the industrial recovery of spent battery.

Abstract
Although organic matter (exudate) excreted by aquatic organisms is an important component of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the natural environment, its potential effects on the bioaccumulation of nanoparticles (NPs) remain unclear. In the present study, we examined the effects of the exudates from the protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila on the bioaccumulation (including uptake and cell surface adsorption) of iron oxide (Fe2O3, polyacrylate coated) and silica (SiO2) NPs in T. thermophila. The exudates were mostly (93.6 %, in carbon) composed of < 1-kDa molecules (e.g., lipids). When the exudates were mixed with the NPs, significant adsorption occurred on SiO2 NPs but not on Fe2O3 NPs. Independent of their adsorption by the NPs, the exudates significantly inhibited the bioaccumulation of both SiO2 NPs and Fe2O3 NPs by T. thermophila. This inhibitory effect was shown to be mainly due to their inhibition of NP adsorption on the cell surface. By contrast, the exudates had negligible effects on the uptake of either NP type, most likely due to their low molecular weight. Since DOM in the aquatic environment is dominated by molecules < 1 kDa, the potential effects of low-molecular-weight DOM, such as exudates from aquatic organisms, on the bioaccumulation of NPs merits greater attention. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: Nanoparticles (NPs) are hazardous materials widespread in the natural environment. Previous studies showed that dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic environments determine the environmental behavior and ecological effects of NPs. Although organic matter (exudate) excreted by aquatic organisms is an important component of DOM, its potential effects on the bioaccumulation of NPs remain unclear. In the present study, we found that the exudates inhibited the cell-surface adsorption of NPs but had no effects on NP uptake, as different from the well-known effects of DOM on NP bioaccumulation. This finding merits attention during evaluations of the environmental risks of NPs.

Hydrophobic iron oxide nanoparticles: Controlled synthesis and phase transfer via flash nanoprecipitation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 678:873-885.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) synthesized via thermal decomposition find diverse applications in biomedicine owing to precise control of their physico-chemical properties. However, use in such applications requires phase transfer from organic solvent to water, which remains a bottleneck. Through the thermal decomposition of iron oleate (FeOl), we systematically investigate the impact of synthesis conditions such as oleic acid (OA) amount, temperature increase rate, dwell time, and solvent on the size, magnetic saturation, and crystallinity of IONPs. Solvent choice significantly influences these properties, manipulating which, synthesis of monodisperse IONPs within a tunable size range (10-30 nm) and magnetic properties (75 to 42 Am2Kg-1) is obtained. To enable phase transfer of IONPs, we employ flash nanoprecipitation (FNP) for the first time as a method for scalable and precise size control, demonstrating its potential over conventional methods. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-coated IONPs with hydrodynamic diameter (Hd) in the range of 250 nm, high colloidal stability and high IONPs loadings up to 43% were obtained, such physicochemical properties being tuned exclusively by the size and hydrophobicity of starting IONPs. They showed no discernible cytotoxicity in human dermal fibroblasts, highlighting the applicability of FNP as a novel method for the functionalization of hydrophobic IONPs for biomedicine.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a treasure trove of diversified themes which are endowed with broad applications. Herein, iron oxide (Fe2O3) nanoparticles were synthesized using Phyllanthus emblica aqueous fruit extract. The UV-Visible spectrum exhibited a surface plasmon resonance peak at 295nm. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy provided insight into the functional groups responsible for capping. X-ray diffraction analysis authenticated the crystalline nature of nanoparticles, while energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy divulged that iron and oxygen comprised 54% of the nanoparticles' weight. Scanning electron microscopy established irregular morphology and agglomeration of nanoparticles. The Fe2O3 nanoparticles validated potent antimicrobial activity against 11 bacterial and 1 fungal isolates. The biggest zone of inhibition (23mm) was measured against S. enterica, whereas the smallest zone of inhibition (12mm) was documented against C. albicans and E. coli. The values for minimum inhibitory concentration ranged between 10 and 15μg/ml for all microbes. Nevertheless, no synergy was exhibited by the nanoparticles with any of the selected antibiotics (Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index > 1). The photocatalytic dye degradation capability of Fe2O3 nanoparticles was assessed and the observations implied a significant increase in degradation of methyl red although, not of methylene blue. Furthermore, the nanoparticles were in possession of substantial antioxidant (34-38%) and anti-inflammatory (31-38%) capacities. Consequent upon the robust activities of P. emblica-mediated nanoparticles, these can be scrutinized for biomedical and environmental implementations in future.

Abstract
Due to the increasing crop losses caused by common and newly emerging phytopathogens, there is a pressing need for the development of rapid and reliable methods for phytopathogen detection and analysis. Leveraging advancements in biochemical engineering technologies and nanomaterial sciences, researchers have put considerable efforts on utilizing biofunctionalized magnetic micro- and nanoparticles (MPs) to develop rapid and reliable systems for phytopathogen detection. MPs facilitate the rapid, high-throughput analysis and in-field applications, while the biomacromolecules, which play key roles in the biorecognitions, interactions and signal amplification, determine the specificity, sensitivity, reliability, and portability of pathogen detection systems. The integration of MPs and biomacromolecules provides dimensionality- and composition-dependent properties, representing a novel approach to develop phytopathogen detection systems. In this review, we summarize and discuss the general properties, synthesis and characterization of MPs, and focus on biomacromolecule-functionalized MPs as well as their representative applications for phytopathogen detection and analysis reported over the past decade. Extensively studied bioreceptors, such as antibodies, phages and phage proteins, nucleic acids, and glycans that are involved in the recognitions and interactions, are covered and discussed. Additionally, the integration of MPs-based detection system with portable microfluidic devices to facilitate their in-field applications is also discussed. Overall, this review focuses on biomacromolecule-functionalized MPs and their applications for phytopathogen detection, aiming to highlight their potential in developing advanced biosensing systems for effective plant protection.

Abstract
A straightforward, expeditious, robust, and efficient synthesis of NiO@Bentonite nanocatalyst was done using a simple microwave method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), thermal behavior analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the NiO@Bentonite nanocomposites. The outcomes demonstrated that the NiO nanoparticles are evenly distributed throughout the Bentonite surface and that the NiO@Bentonite nanocomposites have a high specific surface area and rich pore structure. The following report details the investigation of this catalyst for the preparation of 1, 8-dioxodecahydroacridine heterocycles in a one-pot, three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, dimedone, and aniline. After the conditions were optimized, the results demonstrated that this reaction could be carried out in an aqueous medium with a good yield.

Abstract
Primary amines, in the form of unmodified N-terminus of peptide/protein and unmodified lysine residue, are perhaps the most important functional groups that can serve as the starting points in proteomic analysis, especially via mass spectrometry-based approaches. A variety of multifunctional probes that conjugate primary amine groups through covalent bonds have been developed and employed to facilitate protein/protein complex characterization, including identification, quantification, structure and localization elucidation, protein-protein interaction investigation, and so forth. As an integral part of more accurate peptide quantification in targeted proteomics, isobaric stable isotope-coded primary amine labeling approaches eventually facilitated protein/peptide characterization at the single-cell level, paving the way for single-cell proteomics. The development and advances in the field can be reviewed in terms of key components of a multifunctional probe: functional groups and chemistry for primary amine conjugation; hetero-bifunctional moiety for separation/enrichment of conjugated protein/protein complex; and functionalized linker/spacer. Perspectives are primarily focused on optimizing primary amine conjugation under physiological conditions to improve characterization of native proteins, especially those associated with the surface of living cells/microorganisms.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), particularly iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), are a fascinating group of nanoparticles that have been considerably investigated for biomedical applications because of their superparamagnetic properties, biodegradable nature, and biocompatibility. A novel Gram-positive moderately thermophilic bacterial strain, namely Bacillus tequilensis ASFS.1, was isolated and identified. This strain is capable of producing superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles and exhibiting magnetotaxis behavior. This strain swimming behavior was investigated under static and dynamic environments, where it behaved very much similar to the magnetotaxis in magnetotactic bacteria. This study is the first report of a bacterium from the Bacillaceae family that has the potential to intracellular biosynthesis of IONPs. MNPs were separated by a magnetic and reproducible method which was designed for the first time for this study. In addition, UV-visible spectrophotometer, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction, and thermal gravimetric analysis were utilized to characterize the bio-fabricated magnetite nanoparticles. Analysis of the particle size distribution pattern of the biogenic MNPs by FESEM imaging revealed the size range of 10-100 nm with the size range of 10-40 nm MNPs being the most frequent particles. VSM analysis demonstrated that biogenic MNPs displayed superparamagnetic properties with a high saturation magnetization value of 184 emu/g. After 24 h treatment of 3T3, U87, A549, MCF-7, and HT-29 cell lines with the biogenic MNPs, IC50 values were measured to be 339, 641, 582, 149, and 184 μg mL-1, respectively. This study presents the novel strain ASFS.1 capable of magnetotaxis by the aid of its magnetite nanoparticles and paving information on isolation, characterization, and in vitro cytotoxicity of its MNPs. The MNPs showed promising potential for biomedical applications, obviously subject to additional studies.

Abstract
Nanopriming, an advanced seed priming technology, is highly praised for its environmental friendliness, safety, and effectiveness in promoting sustainable agriculture. Studies have shown that nanopriming can enhance seed germination by stimulating the expression of aquaporins and increasing amylase production. By applying an appropriate concentration of nanoparticles, seeds can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), enhance their antioxidant capacity, improve their response to oxidative stress, and enhance their tolerance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. This positive impact extends beyond the seed germination and seedling growth stages, persisting throughout the entire life cycle. This review offers a comprehensive overview of recent research progress in seed priming using various nanoparticles, while also addressing current challenges and future opportunities for sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
Candida albicans is a common commensal fungus and fourth most frequent causative agent of nosocomial infections including life-threatening invasive candidiasis in humans. The effectiveness of present antifungal therapies using azoles, polyenes, flucytosine and echinocandins has plateaued in managing fungal infections. The limitations of these antifungal drugs are related to polymorphic morphology, biofilm formation, emergence of drug-resistant strains and production of several virulence factors. Development of new antifungal agents, which can particularly afflict multiple cellular targets and limiting evolving resistant strains are needed. Recently, metal nanoparticles have emerged as a source of new antifungal agents for antifungal formulations. Furthermore, green nanotechnology deals with the use of biosynthetic routes that offer new avenue for synthesizing antifungal nanoparticles coupled with less toxic chemical inventory and environmental sustainability. This article reviews the recent developments on C. albicans pathogenesis, biofilm formation, drug resistance, mode of action of antifungal drugs and antifungal activities of metal nanoparticles. The antifungal efficacy and mode of action of metal nanoparticles are described in the context of prospective therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Microcarrier applications have made great advances in tissue engineering in recent years, which can load cells, drugs, and bioactive factors. These microcarriers can be minimally injected into the defect to help reconstruct a good microenvironment for tissue repair. In order to achieve more ideal performance and face more complex tissue damage, an increasing amount of effort has been focused on microcarriers that can actively respond to external stimuli. These microcarriers have the functions of directional movement, targeted enrichment, material release control, and providing signals conducive to tissue repair. Given the high controllability and designability of magnetic and electroactive microcarriers, the research progress of these microcarriers is highlighted in this review. Their structure, function and applications, potential tissue repair mechanisms, and challenges are discussed. In summary, through the design with clinical translation ability, meaningful and comprehensive experimental characterization, and in-depth study and application of tissue repair mechanisms, stimuli-responsive microcarriers have great potential in tissue repair.

Abstract
Many notable applications have been described for magnetic nanoparticles in delivery of diverse drugs and bioactive compounds into cells, magnetofection for the treatment of cancer, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and magnetic particle imaging (MPI). In response to the growing demand for magnetic nanoparticles for drug delivery or biomedical imaging applications, more effective and eco-friendly methodologies are required for large-scale biosynthesis of this nanoparticles. The major challenge in the large-scale biomedical application of magnetic nanoparticles lies in its low efficiency and optimization of nanoparticle production can address this issue. In the current study, a prediction model is suggested by the fractional factorial designs. The present study aims to optimize culture media components for improved growth and iron uptake of this strain. The result of optimization for iron uptake by the strain ASFS1 is to increase the production of magnetic nanoparticles by this strain for biomedical applications in the future. In the present study, design of experiment method was used to probe the effects of some key medium components (yeast extract, tryptone, FeSO4, Na2-EDTA, and FeCl3) on Fe content in biomass and dried biomass of strain ASFS1. A 25-1 fractional factorial design showed that Na2-EDTA, FeCl3, yeast extract-tryptone interaction, and FeSO4-Na2-EDTA interaction were the most parameters on Fe content in biomass within the experimented levels (p < 0.05), while yeast extract, FeCl3, and yeast extract-tryptone interaction were the most significant factors within the experimented levels (p < 0.05) to effect on dried biomass of strain ASFS1. The optimum culture media components for the magnetic nanoparticles production by strain ASFS1 was reported to be 7.95 g L-1 of yeast extract, 5 g L-1 of tryptone, 75 μg mL-1 of FeSO4, 192.3 μg mL-1 of Na2-EDTA and 150 μg mL-1 of FeCl3 which was theoretically able to produce Fe content in biomass (158 μg mL-1) and dried biomass (2.59 mg mL-1) based on the obtained for medium optimization. Using these culture media components an experimental maximum Fe content in biomass (139 ± 13 μg mL-1) and dried biomass (2.2 ± 0.2 mg mL-1) was obtained, confirming the efficiency of the used method.

Abstract
The study of the magnetism of tightly arranged nitronyl nitroxide (NN) radicals via Au-S self-assembly is interesting. In this study, a series of radicals (S-NN, D-NN, BS-NN, BD-NN) along with two types of nanomaterials (S-NPs, D-NPs) were synthesized. NN was chosen for the magnetic units. Their structures have been successfully synthesized and analyzed. The spin magnetic properties were characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) measurement. The analysis revealed that the self-assembled NN formed via Au-S bonds exhibits high packing density. Furthermore, it was gratifying to observe that the AuNPs exhibit ferromagnetism after the surface modification by NN. This results in strong ferromagnetic exchange interactions of S-NPs and D-NPs : J S-NPs = +279.715 K and J D-NPs = +254.913 K, respectively.

Abstract
Core-shell nanocomposites made of iron oxide core (IO NPs) coated with mesoporous silica (MS) shells are promising theranostic agents. While the core is being used as an efficient heating nanoagent under alternating magnetic field (AMF) and near infra-red (NIR) light and as a suitable contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the MS shell is particularly relevant to ensure colloidal stability in a biological buffer and to transport a variety of therapeutics. However, a major challenge with such inorganic nanostructures is the design of adjustable silica structures, especially with tunable large pores which would be useful, for instance, for the delivery of large therapeutic biomolecule loading and further sustained release. Furthermore, the effect of tailoring a porous silica structure on the magneto- or photothermal dissipation still remains poorly investigated. In this work, we undertake an in-depth investigation of the growth of stellate mesoporous silica (STMS) shells around IO NPs cores and of their micro/mesoporous features respectively through time-lapse and in situ liquid phase transmission electron microscopy (LPTEM) and detailed nitrogen isotherm adsorption studies. We found here that the STMS shell features (thickness, pore size, surface area) can be finely tuned by simply controlling the sol-gel reaction time, affording a novel range of IO@STMS core@shell NPs. Finally, regarding the responses under alternating magnetic fields and NIR light which are evaluated as a function of the silica structure, IO@STMS NPs having a tunable silica shell structure are shown to be efficient as T2-weighted MRI agents and as heating agents for magneto- and photoinduced hyperthermia. Furthermore, such IO@STMS are found to display anti-cancer effects in pancreatic cancer cells under magnetic fields (both alternating and rotating).

[PMID: 39152208 DOI: 10.1007/s12035-024-04415-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/19/2024]
Abstract
Demyelination is a frequent yet crippling neurological disease associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). The cuprizone (CZ) model, which causes demyelination through oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, is a popular tool used by researchers to examine this process. The polyphenol resveratrol (RESV) has become a promising neuroprotective agent in seeking for efficient therapies. In a rat model given CZ, we created and examined iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) loaded with RESV (IONP-RESV) to see how effective they were as a therapeutic agent against free RESV. According to molecular mechanisms, exposure to CZ resulted in a marked downregulation of myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) expression and an overexpression of the inflammatory markers tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and S100β, which are indicators of demyelination and neuroinflammation. It is remarkable that these CZ-induced alterations could be reversed by therapy with either RESV or IONP-RESV. Interestingly, IONP-RESV showed even stronger anti-inflammatory activity, as shown by a more noticeable downregulation of TNF-α and S100β expression. These results were confirmed by histopathological examination of the cerebral cortices. Our findings support the better neuroprotective benefits of RESV-loaded IONPs over free RESV in reducing demyelination and neuroinflammation brought on by CZ. Owing to their pro-remyelinating, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, RESV-loaded IONPs show promise as a neurotherapeutic intervention in the future for neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Data published in 2020 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization show that breast cancer (BC) has become the most common cancer globally, affecting more than 2 million women each year. The complex tumor microenvironment, drug resistance, metastasis, and poor prognosis constitute the primary challenges in the current diagnosis and treatment of BC. Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs) have emerged as a promising nanoplatform for diagnostic tumor imaging as well as therapeutic drug-targeted delivery due to their unique physicochemical properties. The extensive surface engineering has given rise to multifunctionalized MIONPs. In this review, the latest advancements in surface modification strategies of MIONPs over the past five years are summarized and categorized as constrast agents and drug delivery platforms. Additionally, the remaining challenges and future prospects of MIONPs-based targeted delivery are discussed.

Abstract
This review focuses on the deformation and poration of lipid vesicles caused by the interaction of anionic magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs). Effects of various factors, such as surface charge density, salt and sugar concentrations in buffer, membrane cholesterol content, polymer-grafted phospholipid, and membrane potential have been discussed for the interaction of MNPs with lipid vesicles. To quantify these effects on the vesicles, compactness, fraction of deformation and poration, dynamics of membrane permeation, and kinetics of membrane permeation have been critically evaluated. The review explores the potential advancements as well as future directions of the research field in the biomedical application of MNPs.

Abstract
The thermal response of gold and platinum spherical nanoparticles (NPs) upon cooling is studied through atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. The goal is to identify the morphological transformations occurring in the nanomaterials as well as to quantify their dependence on temperature, chemistry, and NP size. For diameters smaller than 3 nm, the transition temperature from a melted/amorphous to a highly crystalline state varies considerably with NP size. For larger NPs, the transition temperature is almost diameter-independent, yet it differs considerably from the transition temperature of the respective bulk materials. The platinum NPs possess a higher level of crystallinity than the gold counterparts under the same conditions because of the stronger cohesive forces that drive the crystallization process. This observation is also supported by the simulated X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the nanomaterials. The larger NPs have a multifaceted crystal surface, and their shape remains almost constant regardless of temperature variations. The smaller NPs have a smoother and more spherical surface, and their shape varies greatly with temperature. By studying the variation of nano-descriptors commonly employed in QSAR models, a qualitative picture of the NPs' toxicity and reactivity emerges: Small/hot NPs are likely more toxic than their large/cold counterparts. Because of the small size of the NPs considered, the observed structural modifications are challenging to be studied by experimental techniques. The present approach can be readily employed to study other metallic and metal oxide nanomaterials.

Abstract
Magnetic drug delivery systems using nanoparticles present a promising opportunity for clinical treatment. This study explored the potential anti-inflammatory properties of RosA- CrFe2O4 nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were developed through rosmarinic acid (RosA) co-precipitation via a photo-mediated extraction technique. XRD, FTIR, and TEM techniques were employed to characterize the nanoparticles, and the results indicated that they had a cubic spinel ferrite (FCC) structure with an average particle size of 25nm. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of RosA- CrFe2O4 nanoparticles were evaluated by using LPS-induced raw 264.7 macrophages and a hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, respectively. The results showed that RosA- CrFe2O4 nanoparticles had moderate DPPH scavenging effects with an IC50 value of 59.61±4.52μg/ml. Notably, these nanoparticles effectively suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory genes (IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and iNOS) in LPS-stimulated cells. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory activity of RosA- CrFe2O4 nanoparticles was confirmed by reducing the release of secretory pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) in LPS-stimulated macrophages. This investigation highlights the promising potential of Phyto-mediated CrFe2O4-RosA as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Lateral flow assays are low-cost point-of-care devices that are stable, easy to use, and provide quick results. They are mostly used as qualitative screening tests to detect biomarkers for several diseases. Quantification of the biomarkers is sometimes desirable but challenging to achieve. Magnetic nanoparticles can be used as tags, providing both visual and magnetic signals that can be detected and quantified by magnetic sensors. In the present work, we synthesized superparamagnetic MnFe2O4 nanoparticles using the hydrothermal coprecipitation route. MnFe2O4 presents low magnetic anisotropy and high saturation magnetization, resulting in larger initial magnetic susceptibility, which is crucial for optimizing the signal in inductive sensors. We functionalized the coprecipitated nanoparticles with citric acid to achieve colloidal stability in a neutral pH and to provide carboxyl groups to their surface to bioconjugate with biomolecules, such as proteins and antibodies. The nanomaterials were characterized by several techniques, and we correlated their magnetic properties with their sensitivity and resolution for magnetic detection in radiofrequency inductive sensors. We considered the NeutrAvidin/biotin model of biorecognition to explore their potential as magnetic labels in lateral flow assays. Our results show that MnFe2O4 nanoparticles are more sensitive to inductive detection than magnetite nanoparticles, the most used nanotags in magnetic lateral flow assays. These nanoparticles present high potential as magnetic tags for the development of sensitive lateral flow immunoassays for detecting and quantifying biomarkers.

Abstract
The precise assessment of vascular heterogeneity in brain tumors is vital for diagnosing, grading, predicting progression, and guiding treatment decisions. However, currently, there is a significant shortage of high-resolution imaging approaches. Herein, we propose a contrast-enhanced susceptibility-weighted imaging (CE-SWI) utilizing the minimalist dextran-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Dextran@Fe3O4 NPs) for ultrahigh-resolution mapping of vasculature in brain tumors. The Dextran@Fe3O4 NPs are prepared via a facile coprecipitation method under room temperature, and exhibit small hydrodynamic size (28 nm), good solubility, excellent biocompatibility, and high transverse relaxivity (r2*, 159.7 mM-1 s-1) under 9.4 T magnetic field. The Dextran@Fe3O4 NPs-enhanced SWI can increase the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of cerebral vessels to 2.5 times that before injection and achieves ultrahigh-spatial-resolution visualization of microvessels as small as 0.1 mm in diameter. This advanced imaging capability not only allows for the detailed mapping of both enlarged peritumoral drainage vessels and the intratumoral microvessels, but also facilitates the sensitive imaging detection of vascular permeability deterioration in a C6 cells-bearing rat glioblastoma model. Our proposed Dextran@Fe3O4 NPs-enhanced SWI provides a powerful imaging technique with great clinical translation potential for the precise theranostics of brain tumors.

Abstract
The effects of 180, 210, and 230°C reaction temperatures on the structural and magnetic properties of synthesized iron sulfide nanoparticles were studied. The Rietveld refinement analysis result of the X-ray diffraction data indicated that greigite was the dominant phase in all samples. The sample was prepared at 210°C for 18 h and had a greater wt% ratio of the greigite phase. The crystallite and particle sizes increased with increasing reaction temperatures. Scanning electron microscope images confirmed the presence of aggregation of synthesized rod-shaped nanoparticles. The magnetic hysteresis curves of all samples showed ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature. The magnetic saturation of three samples increases with increased reaction temperature, but the coercive force has the opposite behavior. Antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of the sample synthesized at 210°C were investigated. This sample killed cancer cells at relatively moderate and high concentrations with high viability of normal cells, demonstrating the sample's suitability for use in killing cancer cells while avoiding normal cells.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), employing metal ions to transform endogenous H2O2 into lethal hydroxyl radicals (•OH), has emerged as an effective approach for tumor treatment. Yet, its efficacy is diminished by glutathione (GSH), commonly overexpressed in tumors. Herein, a breakthrough strategy involving extracellular vesicle (EV) mimetic nanovesicles (NVs) encapsulating iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and β-Lapachone (Lapa) was developed to amplify intracellular oxidative stress. The combination, NV-IONP-Lapa, created through a serial extrusion from ovarian epithelial cells showed excellent biocompatibility and leveraged magnetic guidance to enhance endocytosis in ovarian cancer cells, resulting in selective H2O2 generation through Lapa catalysis by NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). Meanwhile, the iron released from IONPs ionization under acidic conditions triggered the conversion of H2O2 into •OH by the Fenton reaction. Additionally, the catalysis process of Lapa eliminated GSH in tumor, further amplifying oxidative stress. The designed NV-IONP-Lapa demonstrated exceptional tumor targeting, facilitating MR imaging, and enhanced tumor suppression without significant side effects. This study presents a promising NV-based drug delivery system for exploiting CDT against NQO1-overexpressing tumors by augmenting intratumoral oxidative stress.

Abstract
Despite the availability of a number of efficacious treatments for Parkinson's disease, their limitations and drawbacks, particularly related to low brain bioavailability and associated side effects, emphasize the need for alternative and more effective therapeutic approaches. Nanomedicine, the application of nanotechnology in medicine, has received considerable interest in recent years as a method of effectively delivering potentially therapeutic molecules to the brain. In particular, polymeric nanoparticles, constructed from biodegradable polymer, have shown great promise in enhancing therapeutic efficacy, reducing toxicity, and ensuring targeted delivery. However, their clinical translation remains a considerable challenge. This article reviews recent in vitro and in vivo studies using polymeric nanoparticles as drug and gene delivery systems for Parkinson's disease with their challenges and future directions. We are also particularly interested in the technical properties, mechanism, drugs release patterns, and delivery strategies to overcome the blood-brain barrier. © 2024 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
Microwave-based reactions have gained traction in recent years due to their ability to enhance reaction rates and yield while reducing energy consumption. Also, according to the conception of 'waste to materials', various waste feeds are intensively sought to be tested. The experimental setup of this study involved varying pH levels, oxidation agents, and precipitation agents to optimize the synthesis process of iron red based on waste iron sulfate. The selection of oxidation and precipitation agents was found to significantly influence the pigment synthesis process. Various oxidizing agents, including hydrogen peroxide and atmospheric air, were evaluated for their effectiveness in promoting the oxidation of ferrous ions to ferric ions, essential for pigment formation. Additionally, different precipitation agents such as sodium hydroxide and ammonia solution were assessed for their ability to precipitate iron hydroxides and facilitate pigment particle formation. The characterization of synthesized pigments revealed promising results in terms of quality and color properties. Helium Ion Microscopy (HIM) analysis confirmed the formation of well-defined pigment particles with controlled morphology. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies provided insights into the crystalline structure of the pigments, indicating the presence of characteristic iron oxide phases. By improving this technology, waste iron sulfate can be efficiently transformed into valuable iron pigments, offering a sustainable solution for waste management while meeting the growing demand for high-quality pigments.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPMNPs) have attracted considerable attention in biomedicine, particularly magnetic hyperthermia for cancer treatment. However, the development of efficient and eco-friendly methods for synthesizing SPMNPs remains a challenge. This study reports on a green synthesis approach for SPMNPs using pomegranate peel extract as a stabilizing agent. The effects of various synthesis parameters, including the type of precipitating agent (NH3 and NaOH), N2 gas, extract volume, and pH, were systematically investigated with regard to the size, morphology, and magnetic properties of the nanoparticles. The results showed that reducing the volume of the extract increased the saturation magnetization of the nanoparticles. N2 gas was found to be essential in preventing the oxidation of the nanoparticles. The type of precipitating agent also affected the size and magnetization of the nanoparticles, with NaOH leading to the synthesis of SPMNPs with higher magnetization (∼4 times) compared to NH3. Additionally, nanoparticles synthesized at pH 10 exhibited higher magnetization than those synthesized at pH 8 and 12. In conclusion, the optimized synthesis conditions significantly affected the magnetization and stability of SPMNPs. These nanoparticles are suitable for use in magnetic nanofluid hyperthermia applications.

Abstract
An ensemble of nanosystems can be considered to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) transverse relaxivity. Herein, an interacting superparamagnetic competing structure of an isotropic-anisotropic trimagnetic hybrid nanosystem, γ-Fe2O3@δ-MnO2@NiFe2O4, is considered for MRI relaxivity exploration. The interacting superparamagnetic system reveals fascinating dynamic magnetic behavior, where flower-shaped two-dimensional flakes are decorated over nanoparticles. The hybrid nanosystem exhibits modulated shape anisotropy with spin blocking and energy barrier broadening, which help in achieving faster MR transverse relaxivity. The hierarchical architecture ensemble of the trimagnetic landscape shows effective MR transverse relaxivity with a transverse (r2)/longitudinal (r1) relaxivity of 61.5 and potential cell viability. The competing trimagnetic system with regulated activation energy is found to be the underlying reason for such signal enhancement in MRI contrast efficiency. Hence, this study displays a novel pathway correlating MR transverse relaxivity with dynamic magnetic behavior and competing landscape of hierarchical trimagnetic ensembles.

Abstract
Repolarizing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) into tumor-inhibiting M1 macrophages has been considered a promising strategy for enhanced cancer immunotherapy. However, several immunosuppressive ligands (e.g., LSECtin) can still be highly expressed on M1 macrophages, inducing unsatisfactory therapeutic outcomes. We herein developed an antibody-decorated nanoplatform composed of PEGylated iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and LSECtin antibody conjugated onto the surface of IONPs via the hydrazone bond for enhanced cancer immunotherapy. After intravenous administration, the tumor microenvironment (TME) pH could trigger the hydrazone bond breakage and induce the disassociation of the nanoplatform into free LSECtin antibodies and IONPs. Consequently, the IONPs could repolarize TAMs into M1 macrophages to remodel immunosuppressive TME and provide an additional anticancer effect via secreting tumoricidal factors (e.g., interlukin-12). Meanwhile, the LSECtin antibody could further block the activity of LSECtin expressed on M1 macrophages and relieve its immunosuppressive effect on CD8+ T cells, ultimately leading to significant inhibition of tumor growth.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), a glycosaminoglycan, is comprised of alternating units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. This compound harbors numerous biomedical applications, including its use in pharmaceuticals, wound healing, osteoarthritis treatment, and drug delivery. Its unique composition and exceptional features, such as its high water-absorbing and retaining capacity, have also led to its use in the cosmetics industry. The employment of this biopolymer has given rise to an escalation in the request for its manufacture. The present investigation has explored the correlation between hyaluronic acid and chitosan and silica for the purpose of separation. Consequently, Iron oxide magnetic nano particles and micro particles were produced via co-precipitation method and were layered with chitosan and silica to purify the hyaluronic acid from the fermentation broth that was generated by Streptococcus Zooepidemicus. The size distribution and zeta potentials of the two kinds of particles were gauged with the aid of a dynamic laser light scattering apparatus and zeta potential meter (Malvern, Zeta master) respectively. The confirmation of the chemical structure of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Fe3O4 particles conjugated with chitosan and silica was accomplished through the utilization of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Protein contamination was thoroughly characterized by means of sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Nanodrop 2000/2000c spectrophotometers protein estimation method. The maximum HA adsorption capacity, under optimal pH conditions of 4, was determined to be 87 mg/g, 112 mg/g, 51 mg/g, and 44 mg/g for Fe3O4 -chitosan nanoparticle, Fe3O4 -chitosan micro particle, Fe3O4 -silica microparticle, and Fe3O4 -silica nanoparticle, respectively.

Abstract
Due to the intrinsic non-invasive nature, cost-effectiveness, high safety, and real-time capabilities, besides diagnostic imaging, ultrasound as a typical mechanical wave has been extensively developed as a physical tool for versatile biomedical applications. Especially, the prosperity of nanotechnology and nanomedicine invigorates the landscape of ultrasound-based medicine. The unprecedented surge in research enthusiasm and dedicated efforts have led to a mass of multifunctional micro-/nanosystems being applied in ultrasound biomedicine, facilitating precise diagnosis, effective treatment, and personalized theranostics. The effective deployment of versatile ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems in biomedical applications is rooted in a profound understanding of the relationship among composition, structure, property, bioactivity, application, and performance. In this comprehensive review, we elaborate on the general principles regarding the design, synthesis, functionalization, and optimization of ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems for abundant biomedical applications. In particular, recent advancements in ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems for diagnostic imaging are meticulously summarized. Furthermore, we systematically elucidate state-of-the-art studies concerning recent progress in ultrasound-based micro-/nanosystems for therapeutic applications targeting various pathological abnormalities including cancer, bacterial infection, brain diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic diseases. Finally, we conclude and provide an outlook on this research field with an in-depth discussion of the challenges faced and future developments for further extensive clinical translation and application.

[PMID: 38848992 DOI: 10.1016/j.impact.2024.100517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have gained significant attention in biomedical research due to their potential applications. However, little is known about their impact and toxicity on testicular cells. To address this issue, we conducted an in vitro study using primary mouse testicular cells, testis fragments, and sperm to investigate the cytotoxic effects of sodium citrate-coated SPIONs (Cit_SPIONs). Herein, we synthesized and physiochemically characterized the Cit_SPIONs and observed that the sodium citrate diminished the size and improved the stability of nanoparticles in solution during the experimental time. The sodium citrate (measured by thermogravimetry) was biocompatible with testicular cells at the used concentration (3%). Despite these favorable physicochemical properties, the in vitro experiments demonstrated the cytotoxicity of Cit_SPIONs, particularly towards testicular somatic cells and sperm cells. Transmission electron microscopy analysis confirmed that Leydig cells preferentially internalized Cit_SPIONs in the organotypic culture system, which resulted in alterations in their cytoplasmic size. Additionally, we found that Cit_SPIONs exposure had detrimental effects on various parameters of sperm cells, including motility, viability, DNA integrity, mitochondrial activity, lipid peroxidation (LPO), and ROS production. Our findings suggest that testicular somatic cells and sperm cells are highly sensitive and vulnerable to Cit_SPIONs and induced oxidative stress. This study emphasizes the potential toxicity of SPIONs, indicating significant threats to the male reproductive system. Our findings highlight the need for detailed development of iron oxide nanoparticles to enhance reproductive nanosafety.

Abstract
Serodiagnosis methods have been used as platforms for diagnostic tests for many diseases. Due to magnetic nanoparticles' properties to quickly detach from an external magnetic field and particle size effects, these nanomaterials' functionalization allows the specific isolation of target analytes, enhancing accuracy parameters and reducing serodiagnosis time. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized and functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and then associated with the synthetic Leishmaniosis epitope. This nano-peptide antigen showed promising results. Regarding Tegumentary leishmaniasis diagnostic accuracy, the AUC was 0.8398 with sensibility 75% (95CI% 50.50 - 89.82) and specificity 87.50% (95CI% 71.93 - 95.03), and Visceral leishmaniasis accuracy study also present high performance, the AUC was 0.9258 with sensibility 87.50% (95CI% 63.98 - 97.78) and specificity 87.50% (95CI% 71.93 - 95.03). Our results demonstrate that the association of the antigen with MNPs accelerates and improves the diagnosis process. MNPs could be an important tool for enhancing serodiagnosis.

Abstract
A novel thermal-responsive β-cyclodextrin-based magnetic hydrogel [β-cyclodextrin-graft-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/Fe3O4 (β-CD-g-PNIPAAm/Fe3O4)] was fabricated as a novel nanomedicine for chemo/hyperthermia treatment of cancer cells. Firstly, β-CD was modified by maleic anhydride (MA) followed by copolymerization with NIPAAm monomer and thiol-end capped Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of a crosslinker through acrylamide-thiol polymerization system to afford a magnetic hydrogel. The saturation magnetization (δ s) value for developed hydrogel was determined to be 8.2 emu g-1. The hydrogel was physically loaded with an anticancer agent, doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox). The encapsulation efficiency (EE) of drug into the hydrogel was obtained as 73 %. The system represented acceptable thermal-triggered drug release behavior that best fitted with Higuchi model, demonstrating the release of drug is mostly controlled by diffusion mechanism. The anticancer performance of the β-CD-g-PNIPAAm/Fe3O4-Dox was evaluated using MCF7 cells by MTT-assay. In addition, flow cytometry analyses showed considerable cellular uptake of Dox in the cells treated with β-CD-g-PNIPAAm/Fe3O4-Dox (∼70 %) compared to free Dox (∼28 %). As results, in time period of 48 h by combination of chemo- and hyperthermia-therapies, the developed system displayed greater anticancer efficiency than the free Dox.

Abstract
Nowadays, diseases associated with an ageing population, such as osteoporosis, require the development of new biomedical approaches to bone regeneration. In this regard, mechanotransduction has emerged as a discipline within the field of bone tissue engineering. Herein, we have tested the efficacy of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), obtained by the thermal decomposition method, with an average size of 13 nm, when exposed to the application of an external magnetic field for mechanotransduction in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs). The SPIONs were functionalized with an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide as ligand to target integrin receptors on cell membrane and used in colloidal state. Then, a comprehensive and comparative bioanalytical characterization of non-targeted versus targeted SPIONs was performed in terms of biocompatibility, cell uptake pathways and mechanotransduction effect, demonstrating the osteogenic differentiation of hBM-MSCs. A key conclusion derived from this research is that when the magnetic stimulus is applied in the first 30 min of the in vitro assay, i.e., when the nanoparticles come into contact with the cell membrane surface to initiate endocytic pathways, a successful mechanotransduction effect is observed. Thus, under the application of a magnetic field, there was a significant increase in runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) gene expression as well as ALP activity, when cells were exposed to RGD-functionalized SPIONs, demonstrating osteogenic differentiation. These findings open new expectations for the use of remotely activated mechanotransduction using targeted magnetic colloidal nanoformulations for osteogenic differentiation by drug-free cell therapy using minimally invasive techniques in cases of bone loss.

Abstract
Bimetallic iron-noble metal alloy nanoparticles have emerged as promising contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to their biocompatibility and facile control over the element distribution. However, the inherent surface energy discrepancy between iron and noble metal often leads to Fe atom segregation within the nanoparticle, resulting in limited iron-water molecule interactions and, consequently, diminished relaxometric performance. In this study, we present the development of a class of ligand-induced atomically segregation-tunable alloy nanoprobes (STAN) composed of bimetallic iron-gold nanoparticles. By manipulating the oxidation state of Fe on the particle surface through varying molar ratios of oleic acid and oleylamine ligands, we successfully achieve surface Fe enrichment. Under the application of a 9 T MRI system, the optimized STAN formulation, characterized by a surface Fe content of 60.1 at %, exhibits an impressive r1 value of 2.28 mM-1·s-1, along with a low r2/r1 ratio of 6.2. This exceptional performance allows for the clear visualization of hepatic tumors as small as 0.7 mm in diameter in vivo, highlighting the immense potential of STAN as a next-generation contrast agent for highly sensitive MR imaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brain-derived exosomes circulate in the bloodstream and other bodily fluids, serving as potential indicators of neurological disease progression. These exosomes present a promising avenue for the early and precise diagnosis of neurodegenerative conditions. Notably, miRNAs found in plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer distinct diagnostic benefits due to their stability, abundance, and resistance to breakdown. RESULTS In this study, we introduce a method using transferrin conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (TMNs) to isolate these exosomes from the plasma of patients with neurological disorders. This TMNs technique is both quick (<35 min) and cost-effective, requiring no high-priced ingredients or elaborate equipment for EV extraction. Our method successfully isolated EVs from 33 human plasma samples, including those from patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Dementia. Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, we evaluated the potential of 8 exosomal miRNA profiles as biomarker candidates. Six exosomal miRNA biomarkers (miR-195-5p, miR-495-3p, miR-23b-3P, miR-30c-2-3p, miR-323a-3p, and miR-27a-3p) were consistently linked with all stages of PD. SIGNIFICANCE The TMNs method provides a practical, cost-efficient way to isolate EVs from biological samples, paving the way for non-invasive neurological diagnoses. Furthermore, the identified miRNA biomarkers in these exosomes may emerge as innovative tools for precise diagnosis in neurological disorders including PD.

Abstract
The current research article has investigated the synthesis and characterization of novel iron nanoparticles (INPs) from neem and betel leaves extract combination using response surface methodology-central composite design and coated with chitosan-curcumin (CCINPs) as a biocompatible and contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The coating of INPs with chitosan and curcumin (CCINPs) was carried out using a simple, easy, chemical-free ultrasonication method and characteristics were confirmed by UV-visible (Vis) spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The biocompatibility of the particles was ensured by conducting hemolytic and cell viability assays. The nanoparticle was found to be nonhemolytic (<5%) up to 150 μg/mL for both INPs and CCINPs. The cell viability was stable (peripheral blood mononuclear cells-PBMCs) till 48 h at 150 μg/mL of INPs and CCINPs. Both the test results produced were found to be biocompatible and additionally, an in vitro MRI study of INPs and CCINPs demonstrated the efficiency of the nanoparticle as a negative contrast agent with enhanced contrast nature in CCINPs. Thus, overall results indicate that the green synthesized chemical-free novel CCINPs could be a potential candidate for a wide range of applications such as MRI, drug delivery, and in magnetic fluid hyperthermia.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, researchers have paid more attention to magnetic nanosystems due to their wide application in diverse fields. The metal nanomaterials' antimicrobial and biocidal properties make them an essential nanosystem for biomedical applications. Moreover, the magnetic nanosystems could have also been used for diagnosis and treatment because of their magnetic, optical, and fluorescence properties. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and quantum dots (QDs) are the most widely used magnetic nanosystems prepared by a simple process. By surface modification, researchers have recently been working on conjugating metals like silica, copper, and gold with magnetic nanosystems. This hybridization of the nanosystems modifies the structural characteristics of the nanomaterials and helps to improve their efficacy for targeted drug and gene delivery. The hybridization of metals with various nanomaterials like micelles, cubosomes, liposomes, and polymeric nanomaterials is gaining more interest due to their nanometer size range and nontoxic, biocompatible nature. Moreover, they have good injectability and higher targeting ability by accumulation at the target site by application of an external magnetic field. The present article discussed the magnetic nanosystem in more detail regarding their structure, properties, interaction with the biological system, and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) offer diverse health benefits, such as supporting cardiovascular health, improving cognitive function, promoting joint and musculoskeletal health, and contributing to healthy aging. Despite their advantages, challenges like oxidation susceptibility, low bioavailability, and potential adverse effects at high doses persist. Nanoparticle encapsulation emerges as a promising avenue to address these limitations while preserving stability, enhanced bioavailability, and controlled release. This comprehensive review explores the therapeutic roles of omega-3 fatty acids, critically appraising their shortcomings and delving into modern encapsulation strategies. Furthermore, it explores the potential advantages of metal-organic framework nanoparticles (MOF NPs) compared to other commonly utilized nanoparticles in improving the therapeutic effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids within drug delivery systems (DDSs). Additionally, it outlines future research directions to fully exploit the therapeutic benefits of these encapsulated omega-3 formulations for cardiovascular disease treatment.
