A polyethylene glycol-modified urchin-like nickel nanoclusters (PUNNC) with an applied 9T magnetic field, when used for photothermal enhanced chemodynamic synergistic therapy under near-infrared (NIR)-II radiation, can efficiently kill tumor cells in vitro and inhibit tumor tissue growth in vivo, according to a paper published on Theranostics recently.
In a recent study published in Nature Chemistry, scientists reported the synthesis of a novel nitride with metallic luster and hexazine rings—the result of a six-year effort in high-pressure science.
Quality inspection of cereals runs through the whole process of production to consumption of crop grains. Traditional methods for cereal quality testing are mainly wet chemical analysis methods, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, low accuracy, highly subjective, and pollute the environment.
A study group led by LIU Yong and ZHU Ling who are researchers at Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, CAS was excited to see the acceptance by inspection expert panel of their research program that was to develop a digital isothermal amplification system for detecting miRNA, a molecular marker for early diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC).
