Consuming salt-rich packaged food or adding extra salt to your food for extra flavour is secretly harming your heart and kidney health. A recent study found that India is consuming significantly more than the recommended level of sodium, the primary ingredient of salt. Experts decode its harms ...
Fe3O4-Au hybrid NPs serve as a unique theranostics platform. Optimized fundamental properties, i.e. perfect crystallinity, octahedral shape and bulk-like magnetic properties (I), are combined with efficient stabilization of NPs in water by an amphiphilic polymer; subsequent functionalization of the ...
Ultrasmall gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have emerged as agile probes for in vivo imaging, as they exhibit exceptional tumour accumulation and efficient renal clearance properties. However, their intrinsic catalytic activity, which can enable an increased de
Once PTEs reach human bodies, their toxicities and subsequent health effects depend on the elemental oxidation state, chemical species, dosage consumed, length and frequency of exposure, age, and behavioural and biological characteristics of the recipient, amongst others. Through various mechanisms of ac...

Although the materials as well as the administration doses are not exactly the same as our experimental system, Ag concentration in some main tissues (liver, kidney, spleen, lung and testis) after 4 w of AgNPs/AuNPs mixed administration decreased dose-dependently after another 4 w of recovery....
While both these cell lines are of glioblastoma origin, they are genetically different, for which ectopic expression of the αVβ3 integrin was established in the HEK-293 human embryonic kidney cell line that does not normally express this receptor. Expression was confirmed by flow cytometry and ...
Gold mine tailings pose a risk to health and the environment as well. One of the historical places with the highest gold production in the world, South Africa, has reported a direct relationship between the presence of heavy metals in soil and water and cases of cancer in children and adults...
Up to now, many excellent reviews have reported on the topic [36–40]. 3.5. The Release of a Drug from Au NPs via External Stimulus The release of a payload in a spatiotemporal fashion has a substantial impact on increasing therapeutic efficacy. Because of their unique physical, chemical, ...
