PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2024; 211:108693. [PMID: 38714130 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2024.108693] [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: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024]
Abstract
Abiotic stresses like salinity and micronutrient deficiency majorly affect wheat productivity. Applying mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSiNPs) as a smart micronutrient delivery system can facilitate better stress management and nutrient delivery. In this purview, we investigated the potential of MSiNPs and Zn-loaded MSiNPs (Zn-MSiNPs) on the growth and physiology of wheat seedlings exposed to salinity stress (200 mM NaCl). Initially, the FESEM, DLS, and BET analysis portrayed nanoparticles' spherical shape, nano-size, and negatively charged mesoporous surface. A sustained release of Zn+2 from Zn-MSiNPs at 30 °C, diffused light, and pH 7 was perceived with a 96.57% release after 10 days. Further, the mitigation of NaCl stress in the wheat seedlings was evaluated with two different concentrations, each of MSiNPs and Zn-MSiNPs (1 g/L and 5 g/L), respectively. A meticulous improvement in the germination and growth of wheat seedlings was observed when treated with both MSiNPs and Zn-MSiNPs. A considerable increase in chlorophyll, total protein, and sugar content was in consort with a substantial decline in MDA, electrolyte leakage, and ROS accumulation, showcasing the nanomaterials' palliating effects. Most importantly, the K+/Na+ ratio in shoots increased significantly by 3.43 and 4.37 folds after being treated with 5 g/L Zn-MSiNPs, compared to their respective control sets (0 and 200 mM NaCl). Therefore, it can be concluded that the Zn-MSiNPs can effectively restrain the effects of salinity stress on wheat seedlings.

Abstract
Hydrophobic drugs, while designed to interact with specific receptors or enzymes located in lipid-rich cell membranes, often face challenges of limited bioavailability and insufficient circulation time due to their insolubility in aqueous environments. One plausible pathway to increase their blood circulation time is to load these drugs into biocompatible and hydrophilic carriers to enhance their uptake. In this study, mesoporous silica (mSiO2) nanocarriers of various morphologies (including cubes, capsules, and spheres) were synthesized. These nanocarriers were then surface-functionalized with alkyl chain hydrocarbons, specifically octadecyl-trimethoxysilane, (OCH3)3Si(CH2)17CH3, to render them hydrophobic. The resulting nanocarriers (((OCH3)3Si(CH2)17CH3)@mSiO2) showed up to 80% uptake for hydrophobic drugs. However, a significant drawback was observed as most of the drugs were prone to uncontrollable release within 6 h. This challenge of premature drug release was successfully mitigated by effectively sealing the drug-loaded nanocarriers with a pH-sensitive lipid overlayer. The lipid-coated nanocarriers prolonged drug containment and sustained release up to 72 h, compared to 6 h for uncoated nanocarriers, thereby facilitating longer blood circulation times. Moreover, the shape and size of nanocarriers were found to influence both drug entrapment capacity and release behavior with cubic forms exhibiting superior loading capacity due to higher surface area and porosity. Additionally, it was observed that the molecular weight and chemical structure of the drug molecules played a crucial role in determining their uptake and release profiles. Furthermore, the influence of different morphologies of nanocarriers on cell uptake and cytotoxicity in immune cells was elucidated. These findings underscore the importance of nanocarrier morphology and drug properties to enhance loading capacities and controlled release profiles, for designing drug delivery systems tailored for hydrophobic drugs.

Springback effect of ambient-pressure-dried silica aerogels: nanoscopic effects of silylation revealed by in situ synchrotron X-ray scattering. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2023; 6:111-125. [PMID: 38125596 PMCID: PMC10729877 DOI: 10.1039/d3na00584d] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Ambient pressure drying (APD) allows for synthesizing aerogels without expensive and sophisticated equipment for achieving supercritical conditions. Since APD does not eliminate the capillary stress that is induced by the liquid/vapour phase boundary, the shrinkage during drying needs to be prevented or reversed. The re-expansion of the silylated silica gels during drying is commonly referred to as the springback effect (SBE). The SBE is not only important for producing aerogels via APD, but is also a fascinating phenomenon, since it is accompanied by a significant volume change unusual for rigid ceramics. Synchrotron X-ray scattering has proven to be especially effective for the investigation of the volume change of these fractal silica structures on different length scales. In this work, we follow the drying, shrinkage, and (partial) re-expansion of various monolithic samples in situ to explore the occurrence of the SBE. For this purpose, various silylation agents, i.e., hexamethyldisilazane, trimethylchlorosilane, and triethylchlorosilane were used to investigate different shrinkage and re-expansion behavior. A scattering model was used to extract additional information of the evolving primary particle size, correlation length, fractal dimension, and other intensity contributions of the silica network and the hexane. While the primary particles pointed towards a relaxation at near molecular size, they were likely not involved in the SBE. However, structures near the size of the correlation length could be essential for the occurrence of this phenomenon. These findings may lead to the origin of this interesting phenomenon, as well as a better understanding of the production of APD aerogels.

Abstract
The characteristic curvature (Cc), within the hydrophilic-lipophilic difference + net (Hn) - average (Ha) curvature (HLD-NAC) framework, is the dimensionless net curvature, -Hn·L (L is the surfactant's tail length parameter), that a surfactant acquires at the characteristic condition (T = 25 °C, no added cosurfactants, oil with an equivalent alkane carbon number (EACN) of zero and for ionic surfactants, a total salinity (S) of 1 g NaCl/100 mL). A recent article demonstrated the validity of the Cc concept, where Hn was assessed via oil and water solubilization radii. Here, we assess Hn from the characteristic length (ξ) obtained from the analysis of SAXS profiles of microemulsions produced at semicharacteristic conditions (characteristic condition but varying S). The predicted relationship, -L·Hn,semicharacteristic = Ccbi + bi·ln(S), was confirmed with the five ionic surfactants explored. The SAXS-assessed Cc (Cc = Ccbi/bi) values are consistent with those obtained from solubilization studies and phase inversion scans. The Cc-SAXS method provides a way to assess the hydrophobicity of ionic surfactants directly, avoiding the bias that could be introduced by cosurfactants in phase inversion studies and minimizing the impact of potential uncertainties in the surfactant volume to area ratio (vs/as) required to calculate the solubilization radii in the solubilization method.

Abstract
The assembly of polyoxometalate (POM) metal-oxygen clusters into ordered nanostructures is attracting a growing interest for catalytic and sensing applications. However, assembly of ordered nanostructured POMs from solution can be impaired by aggregation, and the structural diversity is poorly understood. Here, we present a time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) study of the co-assembly in aqueous solutions of amphiphilic organo-functionalized Wells-Dawson-type POMs with a Pluronic block copolymer over a wide concentration range in levitating droplets. SAXS analysis revealed the formation and subsequent transformation with increasing concentration of large vesicles, a lamellar phase, a mixture of two cubic phases that evolved into one dominating cubic phase, and eventually a hexagonal phase formed at concentrations above 110 mM. The structural versatility of co-assembled amphiphilic POMs and Pluronic block copolymers was supported by dissipative particle dynamics simulations and cryo-TEM.

Abstract
Complete recovery from infection, sepsis, injury, or trauma requires a vigorous response called inflammation. Inflammatory responses are essential in balancing tissue homeostasis to protect the tissue or resolve harmful stimuli and initiate the healing process. Identifying pathologically important inflammatory stimuli is important for a better understanding of the immune pathways, mechanisms of inflammatory diseases and organ dysfunctions, and inflammatory biomarkers and for developing therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases. Nanoparticles are an efficient medical tool for diagnosing, preventing, and treating various diseases due to their interactions with biological molecules. Nanoparticles are unique in diagnosis and therapy in that they do not affect the surroundings or show toxicity. Modern medicine has undergone further development with nanoscale materials providing advanced experimentation, clinical use, and applications. Nanoparticle use in imaging, drug delivery, and treatment is growing rapidly owing to their spectacular accuracy, bioavailability, and cellular permeability. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) play a significant role in nano therapy with several advantages such as easy synthesis, loading, controllability, bioavailability over various surfaces, functionalization, and biocompatibility. MSNs can be used as theranostics in immune-modulatory nano systems to diagnose and treat inflammatory diseases. The application of MSNs in the preparation of drug-delivery systems has been steadily increasing in recent decades. Several preclinical studies suggest that an MSN-mediated drug-delivery system could aid in treating inflammatory diseases. This review explains the role of nanoparticles in medicine, synthesis, and functional properties of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and their therapeutic role against various inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disease with an alarming global prevalence, is associated with several serious health threats, including cardiovascular diseases. Current diabetes treatments have several limitations and disadvantages, creating the need for new effective formulations to combat this disease and its associated complications. This motivated the development of therapeutic strategies to overcome some of these limitations, such as low therapeutic drug bioavailability or poor compliance of patients with current therapeutic methodologies. Taking advantage of silica nanoparticle characteristics such as tuneable particle and pore size, surface chemistry and biocompatibility, silica-based nanocarriers have been developed with the potential to treat diabetes and regulate blood glucose concentration. This review discusses the main topics in the field, such as oral administration of insulin, glucose-responsive devices and innovative administration routes.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles have highly versatile structural properties that are suitable for a plethora of applications including catalysis, separation, and nanotherapeutics. We report a one-pot synthesis strategy that generates bimodal mesoporous silica nanoparticles via coassembly of a structure-directing Gemini surfactant (C16-3-16) with a tetraethoxysilane/(3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane-derived sol additive. Synthesis temperature enables control of the nanoparticle shape, structure, and mesopore architecture. Variations of the aminosilane/alkylsilane molar ratio further enable programmable adjustments of hollow to core-shell and dense nanoparticle morphologies, bimodal pore sizes, and surface chemistries. The resulting Gemini-directed aminated mesoporous silica nanoparticles have excellent carbon dioxide adsorption capacities and antimicrobial properties against Escherichia coli. Our results provide an enhanced understanding of the structure formation of multiscale mesoporous inorganic materials that are desirable for numerous applications such as carbon sequestration, water remediation, and biomedical-related applications.

Abstract
Silicification of DNA origami structures increases their stability and provides chemical protection. Yet, it is unclear whether the whole DNA framework is embedded or if silica just forms an outer shell and how silicification affects the origami's internal structure. Employing in situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we show that addition of silica precursors induces substantial condensation of the DNA origami at early reaction times by almost 10 %. Subsequently, the overall size of the silicified DNA origami increases again due to increasing silica deposition. We further identify the SAXS Porod invariant as a reliable, model-free parameter for the evaluation of the amount of silica formation at a given time. Contrast matching of the DNA double helix Lorentzian peak reveals silica growth also inside the origami. The less polar silica forming within the origami structure, replacing more than 40 % of the internal hydration water, causes a hydrophobic effect: condensation. DNA origami objects with flat surfaces show a strong tendency towards aggregation during silicification, presumably driven by the same entropic forces causing condensation. Maximally condensed origami displayed thermal stability up to 60 °C. Our studies provide insights into the silicification reaction allowing for the formulation of optimized reaction protocols.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are composed of silicon dioxide, the most abundant compound on Earth, and are used widely in many applications including the food industry, synthetic processes, medical diagnosis, and drug delivery due to their controllable particle size, large surface area, and great biocompatibility. Building on basic synthetic methods, convenient and economical strategies have been developed for the synthesis of SiNPs. Numerous studies have assessed the biomedical applications of SiNPs, including the surface and structural modification of SiNPs to target various cancers and diagnose diseases. However, studies on the in vitro and in vivo toxicity of SiNPs remain in the exploratory stage, and the toxicity mechanisms of SiNPs are poorly understood. This review covers recent studies on the biomedical applications of SiNPs, including their uses in drug delivery systems to diagnose and treat various diseases in the human body. SiNP toxicity is discussed in terms of the different systems of the human body and the individual organs in those systems. This comprehensive review includes both fundamental discoveries and exploratory progress in SiNP research that may lead to practical developments in the future.

Abstract
Nanostructured materials with high surface area and low coordinated atoms present distinct intrinsic properties from their bulk counterparts. However, nanomaterials' nucleation/growth mechanism during the synthesis process and the changes of the nanomaterials in the working state are still not thoroughly studied. As two indispensable methods, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) provides nanomaterials' electronic structure and coordination environment, while small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) offers structural properties and morphology information. A combination of in situ/operando XAS and SAXS provides high temporal and spatial resolution to monitor the evolution of nanomaterials. This review gives a brief introduction to in situ/operando SAXS/XAS cells. In addition, the application of in situ/operando XAS and SAXS in preparing nanomaterials and studying changes of working nanomaterials are summarized.

Abstract
In situ monitoring of microemulsion-based nanoparticle synthesis is significant for understanding the particle formation mechanism and for advancing controlled nanoparticle synthesis by this means. In this study, the processes of silica nanoparticle synthesis in a CTAB/n-hexanol/cyclohexane/ammonia microemulsion were monitored via dielectric spectroscopy in situ and in real time, with the influences of the water content and precursor concentration being considered. Two dielectric relaxations in addition to a water-induced one were observed in the frequency range of 1 MHz to 3 GHz, which persist throughout the synthesis processes. It is suggested that the lower-frequency relaxation is ascribed to interfacial polarization and the higher-frequency one is caused by the orientational polarization of the ion pair consisting of a counterion and a surfactant polar group. The latter and water-induced relaxations were found to be barely changed during the synthesis processes, while the former changes obviously with synthesis time. The evolution of the lower-frequency relaxation and direct current conductivity with synthesis time are presented and discussed, on the basis of which the particle formation process is inspected from a dielectric spectroscopic point of view.

Abstract
Conventional administration of drugs is limited by poor water solubility, low permeability, and mediocre targeting. Safe and effective delivery of drugs and therapeutic agents remains a challenge, especially for complex therapies, such as cancer treatment, pain management, heart failure medication, among several others. Thus, delivery systems designed to improve the pharmacokinetics of loaded molecules, and allowing controlled release and target specific delivery, have received considerable attention in recent years. The last two decades have seen a growing interest among scientists and the pharmaceutical industry in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) as drug delivery systems (DDS). This interest is due to the unique physicochemical properties, including high loading capacity, excellent biocompatibility, and easy functionalization. In this review, we discuss the current state of the art related to the preparation of drug-loaded MSNs and their analysis, focusing on the newest advancements, and highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of different methods. Finally, we provide a concise outlook for the remaining challenges in the field.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) as the leading cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events has been paid much attention all the time. With the continuous development of modern medical drug treatment, surgical treatment, interventional treatment and other methods, the mortality rate of AS has shown a downward trend, while the morbidity rate is still increasing. Oral lipid-lowering or anti-inflammatory drugs are generally used for early AS, but the relatively low accumulation efficiency in lesions and the unavoidable side effects required researchers to develop more effective drug delivery approaches for the therapy of AS. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles as nanocarrier for drug delivery have received extensive attentions due to their flexible size, high specific surface area, controlled pore volume, high drug loading capacity and excellent biocompatibility. Series of good reviews about the mesoporous silica nanoparticles loaded drugs for cancer therapy have been well documented. However, their roles as nanocarrier for drug delivery to treat AS have few reports. In this review, the applications and challenges of mesoporous silica nanomaterials in the field of the diagnosis and therapy of AS have been summarized. The classification, synthesis, formation mechanism, surface modification and functionalization of mesoporous silica nanomaterials which were closely related to the theranostic effect of AS have also been included. Last but not the least, the future prospects’ suggestions of mesoporous silica nanomaterial-based drug delivery system for AS are also provided.

Abstract
A novel colorimetric sheet based on Griess reagent-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles was developed for nitrite detection. Griess reagent was adsorbed on long-range ordered hexagonal mesoporous silica nanoparticles and developed ink-bottle pores with some disorder. When the modified nanoparticles were bound using starch to fabricate a thin (~ 313 μm) colorimetric sheet, spherical particles with a rougher surface and some distortion of their mesoporosity were observed. The sheet was used in conjunction with digital image colorimetry (DIC) and provides a wide linear range of 0.05 to 2.50 mg L-1 with a low detection limit (15.0 μg L-1-NO2-, equal to 4.5 μg L-1 NO2--N), good inter-day precision (1.93%RSD), and excellent precision (2.67% relative error). The colorimetric sensors produced from the sheet costs only 0.04 USD each, while the DIC uses a standard smartphone for photographic detection. The method developed offers an easier and cheaper means of conducting rapid on-site determination of nitrite in water with reliable quantitative results. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Dielectric spectroscopy was employed, for the first time, to monitor the formation process of silica nanoparticles in a nonionic surfactant-based microemulsion in situ and in real time. Two dominant relaxations were observed in the frequency range of 1 MHz-3 GHz during this process. The relaxation at the lower frequency range was confirmed to be mainly ascribed to interfacial polarization, whose relaxation parameters, together with the electrical property of the synthesis system, were used to characterize the evolution of this dynamic formation process. Four evolution stages are distinctively revealed, including an induction stage, a nucleation dominant stage, an early particle growth stage, and a late growth stage. The dynamic features at each evolution stages were discussed in terms of the dielectric characteristics of the system. It is strongly suggested that dielectric spectroscopy is an effective tool for the in situ mechanistic study of nanoparticle formation in microemulsion.

Abstract
The interest in the design and controlled fabrication of dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres (DMSNs) emanates from their widespread application in drug-delivery carriers, catalysis and nanodevices owing to their unique open three-dimensional dendritic superstructures with large pore channels and highly accessible internal surface areas. A variety of synthesis strategies have been reported, but there is no basic consensus on the elucidation of the pore structure and the underlying formation mechanism of DMSNs. Although all the DMSNs show a certain degree of similarity in structure, do they follow the same synthesis mechanism? What are the exact pore structures of DMSNs? How did the bimodal pore size distributions kinetically evolve in the self-assembly? Can the relative fractions of small mesopores and dendritic large pores be precisely adjusted? In this review, by carefully analysing the structures and deeply understanding the formation mechanism of each reported DMSN and coupling this with our research results on this topic, we conclude that all the DMSNs indeed have the same mesostructures and follow the same dynamic self-assembly mechanism using microemulsion droplets as super templates in the early reaction stage, even without the oil phase.

Abstract
One of the main issues in preparing polymer-based nanocomposites with effective properties is to achieve a good dispersion of the nanoparticles into the matrix. Chemical interfacial modifications by specific coupling agents represents a good way to reach this objective. Actually, time consuming compatibilization procedures strongly compromise the sustainability of these strategies. In this study, the role of particles' architectures in their dispersion into a poly-lactic acid matrix and their subsequent influences on physical-chemical properties of the obtained nanocomposites were investigated. Two kinds of silica nanoparticles, "smooth" and "wrinkled," with different surface areas (≈30 and ≈600 m2/g respectively) were synthesized through a modified Stöber method and used, without any chemical surface pre-treatments, as fillers to produce poly-lactic acid based nanocomposites. The key role played by wrinkled texture in modifying the physical interaction at the polymer-filler interface and in driving composite properties, was investigated and reflected in the final bulk properties. Detailed investigations revealed the presence of wrinkled nanoparticles, leading to (i) an enormous increase of the chain relaxation time, by almost 30 times compared to the neat PLA matrix; (ii) intensification of the shear-thinning behavior at low shear-rates; and (iii) slightly slower thermal degradation of polylactic acid.

Abstract
Rational synthesis of colloidal nanoparticles with desirable properties relies on precise control over the nucleation and growth kinetics, which is still not well understood. The recent development of in situ high energy synchrotron X-ray techniques offers an excellent opportunity to quantitatively monitor the growth trajectories of colloidal nanoparticles in real time under real reaction conditions. The time-resolved, quantitative data of the growing colloidal nanoparticles are unique to reveal the mechanism of nanoparticle formation and determine the corresponding intrinsic kinetic parameters. This review discusses the kinetics of major steps of forming colloidal nanoparticles and the capability of in situ synchrotron X-ray techniques in studying the corresponding kinetics.

Abstract
Hybrid materials prepared by encapsulation of plasmonic nanoparticles in porous silica systems are of increasing interest due to their high chemical stability and applications in optics, catalysis and biological sensing. Particularly promising is the possibility of obtaining gold@silica nanoparticles (Au@SiO₂ NPs) with Janus morphology, as the induced anisotropy can be further exploited to achieve selectivity and directionality in physical interactions and chemical reactivity. However, current methods to realise such systems rely on the use of complex procedures based on binary solvent mixtures and varying concentrations of precursors and reaction conditions, with reproducibility limited to specific Au@SiO₂ NP types. Here, we report a simple one-pot protocol leading to controlled crystallinity, pore order, monodispersity, and position of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) within mesoporous silica by the simple addition of a small amount of sodium silicate. Using a fully water-based strategy and constant content of synthetic precursors, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), we prepared a series of four silica systems: (A) without added silicate, (B) with added silicate, (C) with AuNPs and without added silicate, and (D) with AuNPs and with added silicate. The obtained samples were characterised by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and UV-visible spectroscopy, and kinetic studies were carried out by monitoring the growth of the silica samples at different stages of the reaction: 1, 10, 15, 30 and 120 min. The analysis shows that the addition of sodium silicate in system B induces slower MCM-41 nanoparticle (MCM-41 NP) growth, with consequent higher crystallinity and better-defined hexagonal columnar porosity than those in system A. When the synthesis was carried out in the presence of CTAB-capped AuNPs, two different outcomes were obtained: without added silicate, isotropic mesoporous silica with AuNPs located at the centre and radial pore order (C), whereas the addition of silicate produced Janus-type Au@SiO₂ NPs (D) in the form of MCM-41 and AuNPs positioned at the silica⁻water interface. Our method was nicely reproducible with gold nanospheres of different sizes (10, 30, and 68 nm diameter) and gold nanorods (55 × 19 nm), proving to be the simplest and most versatile method to date for the realisation of Janus-type systems based on MCM-41-coated plasmonic nanoparticles.

Abstract
The alignment of nanostructures in materials such as lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) templated materials has the potential to significantly improve their performances. However, accurately characterising and quantifying the alignment of such fine structures remains very challenging. In situ small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and molecular dynamics were employed for the first time to understand the hexagonal LLC alignment process with magnetic nanoparticles under a magnetic field. The enhanced alignment has been illustrated from the distribution of azimuthal intensity in the samples exposed to magnetic field. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the relationship between the imposed force of the magnetic nanoparticles under magnetic field and the force transferred to the LLC cylinders which leads to the LLC alignment. The combinational study with experimental measurement and computational simulation will enable the development and control of nanostructures in novel materials for various applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Interest in mesoporous silica nanoparticles for drug delivery has resulted in a good understanding of the impact of size and surface chemistry of these nanoparticles on their performance as drug carriers. Shape has emerged as an additional factor that can have a significant effect on delivery efficacy. Rod-shaped mesoporous silica nanoparticles show improvements in drug delivery relative to spherical mesoporous silica nanoparticles. AREAS COVERED This review summarises the synthesis methods for producing rod-shaped mesoporous silica nanoparticles for use in nanomedicine. The second part covers recent progress of mesoporous silica nanorods by comparing the impact of sphere and rod-shape on drug delivery efficiency. EXPERT OPINION As hollow mesoporous silica nanorods are capable of higher drug loads than most other drug delivery vehicles, such particles will reduce the amount of mesoporous silica in the body for efficient therapy. However, the importance of nanoparticle shape on drug delivery efficiency is not well understood for mesoporous silica. Studies that visualize and quantify the uptake pathway of mesoporous silica nanorods in specific cell types and compare the cellular uptake to the well-studied nanospheres should be the focus of research to better understand the role of shape in uptake.

Abstract
Recent advancements in drug delivery technologies utilizing a variety of carriers have resulted in a path-breaking revolution in the approach towards diagnosis and therapy alike in the current times. Need for materials with high thermal, chemical and mechanical properties have led to the development of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). These ordered porous materials have garnered immense attention as drug carriers owing to their distinctive features over the others. They can be synthesized using a relatively simple process, thus making it cost effective. Moreover, by controlling the parameters during the synthesis; the morphology, pore size and volume and particle size can be transformed accordingly. Over the last few years, a rapid increase in research on MSNs as drug carriers for the treatment of various diseases has been observed indicating its potential benefits in drug delivery. Their widespread application for the loading of small molecules as well as macromolecules such as proteins, siRNA and so forth, has made it a versatile carrier. In the recent times, researchers have sorted to several modifications in the framework of MSNs to explore its potential in drug resistant chemotherapy, antimicrobial therapy. In this review, we have discussed the synthesis of these multitalented nanoparticles and the factors influencing the size and morphology of this wonder carrier. The second part of this review emphasizes on the applications and the advances made in the MSNs to broaden the spectrum of its use especially in the field of biomedicine. We have also touched upon the lacunae in the thorough understanding of its interaction with a biological system which poses a major hurdle in the passage of this carrier to the clinical level. In the final part of this review, we have discussed some of the major patents filed in the field of MSNs for therapeutic purpose.

Abstract
The synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) by thermal decomposition of iron precursors using oleic acid as surfactant has evolved to a state-of-the-art method to produce monodisperse, spherical NPs. The principles behind such monodisperse syntheses are well-known: the key is a separation between burst nucleation and growth phase, whereas the size of the population is set by the precursor-to-surfactant ratio. Here we follow the thermal decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl in the presence of oleic acid via in situ X-ray scattering. This method allows reaction kinetics and precursor states to be followed with high time resolution and statistical significance. Our investigation demonstrates that the final particle size is directly related to a phase of inorganic cluster formation that takes place between precursor decomposition and particle nucleation. The size and concentration of clusters were shown to be dependent on precursor-to-surfactant ratio and heating rate, which in turn led to differences in the onset of nucleation and concentration of nuclei after the burst nucleation phase. This first direct observation of prenucleation formation of inorganic and micellar structures in iron oxide nanoparticle synthesis by thermal decomposition likely has implications for synthesis of other NPs by similar routes.

Abstract
Understanding the growth behaviour of an aluminosilicate sol during ageing is necessary for the design of the sol and the synthesis of NaY zeolite. Herein, aluminosilicate sols with three different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios were prepared and aged for varying times at 293 K. The sol was then introduced as a structure-directing agent in the feedstock gel to generate NaY zeolite. The structure evolution of the sol species during the ageing process was studied by in situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) using synchrotron radiation. SAXS data, in combination with transmission electron microscopy images, Raman spectra and X-ray diffraction patterns, present a detailed description of the sol species, revealing an interplay between the fractal structure and reactivity to generate NaY zeolite. The SiO2/Al2O3 ratios in the sol play a critical role in the structure evolution of the aluminosilicate species during the ageing, particularly with respect to their size distributions and the fractal dimensions. The species with suitable size and compactness in the sol are found to be an active precursor for achieving a highly crystalline NaY zeolite. The sol with an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 20 possesses active species with a mass fractal dimension D
m of 2.0–2.6 after ageing, which leads to the formation of a well crystallized NaY zeolite. However, the high-silica sol-25, with an SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 25, and alumina rich sol-10, with a ratio of 10, experience growth at either slow or fast rates. In these cases the active species have smaller D
m (1.1–1.9) or larger D
m (2.6–2.8), respectively, displaying low/poor activity to generate NaY zeolite. The mechanisms regulating the growth behaviour of the sols during ageing are proposed.

Abstract
Nucleation and growth of SBA-15 silica nanostructured particles with well-defined morphologies has been followed with time by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and ultrasmall-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS), using synchrotron radiation. Three different morphologies have been compared: platelets, toroids, and rods. SEM observations of the particles confirm that two key physical parameters control the morphology: the temperature and the stirring of the solution. USAXS curves demonstrate that primary particles with a defined shape are present very early in the reaction mixture, immediately after a very fast nucleation step. This nucleation step is detected at 10 min (56 °C) or 15 min (50 °C) after the addition of the silica precursor. The main finding is that the USAXS signal is different for each type of morphology, and we demonstrate that the difference is related to the shape of the particles, showing characteristic form factors for the different morphologies (platelet, toroid, and rod). Moreover, the size of the mesocrystal domains is correlated directly with the particle dimensions and shape. When stirred, aggregation between primary particles is detected even after 12 min (56 °C). The platelet morphology is promoted by constant stirring of the solution, through an oriented aggregation step between primary particles. In contrast, toroids and rods are only stabilized under static conditions. However, for toroids, aggregation is detected almost immediately after nucleation.
