Abstract
Self-assembled Eu-dipeptide (tryptophan-phenylalanine) microparticles with multi-emission fluorescence was prepared and modified with a single-stranded DNA corresponding to the sulfamethazine (SMZ) adapter (Eu-PMPs@cDNA). Aptamer-functionalized magnetic Fe3O4 (MNPs@aptamer) was used to specifically bind the target SMZ. Using Eu-PMPs@cDNA as fluorescent signal probe and MNPs@aptamer as catcher, a noncompetitive fluorescence sensing strategy was developed for determination of SMZ with good sensitivity, accuracy, selectivity, and stability. Under the optimized conditions, fluorescence increases linearly in the 0-20 ng/mL SMZ concentration range, and the detection limit is 0.014 ng/mL. The fluorescence sensing method was applied to analysis of water and fish muscle samples, and recoveries ranged from 81.78 to 119.46 % with relative standard deviations below 4.2 %. This study offered a reliable and sensitive fluorescence sensing strategy for SMZ determination in food samples, which owns great potential for wide-ranging application in harmful compounds assay by simply changing the type of aptamer and its complementary single-stranded DNA.

Abstract
In this study, thrombin was immobilized with magnetic particles modified by glutaraldehyde. The changes in secondary structures of immobilized enzyme revealed an increment in conformational rigidity and stability, which can be reflected in temperature and pH stability as well as the tolerance of organic reagents. The optimal reutilization times of magnetic particle immobilized thrombin were 7 times, and the half-life of enzyme activity preserved at room temperature was 5 days, which was 2.5 times higher than that of free enzyme. Ligusticum chuanxiong and Anemarrhenae Rhizoma with high enzyme inhibitory activity were selected for primary screening, and six potential inhibitors of thrombin were identified by HPLC/MS. The results showed that three compounds in Anemarrhenae Rhizoma had better predictive thrombin inhibitory activity. Through the in vitro thrombin activity inhibition experiment, it was also verified that mangiferin and neo-mangiferin had an ideal thrombin activity inhibition effect, which was consistent with the results of molecular docking.

Abstract
Diabetic osteoporosis (DO) is a significant complication of diabetes, characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density and an increase in fracture risk. Magnetic nanoparticles (GMNPs) have emerged as potential drug carriers for various therapeutic applications. This study investigated the molecular mechanism of GMNPs loaded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) overexpressing MEG3 target miR-3064-5p to induce NR4A3 for treating DO in rats. Initial analysis was carried out on GEO datasets GSE7158 and GSE62589, revealing a notable downregulation of NR4A3 in osteoporotic samples. Subsequent in vitro studies demonstrated the effective uptake of BMSC-EVs-MEG3 by osteoblasts and its potential to inhibit miR-3064-5p, activating the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway and thus promoting mitochondrial autophagy, osteoblast proliferation, and differentiation. In vivo, experiments using DO rat models further substantiated the therapeutic efficacy of GMNPE-EVs-MEG3 in alleviating osteoporosis symptoms. In conclusion, GMNPs loaded with BMSC-EVs, through the delivery of MEG3 targeting miR-3064-5p, can effectively promote NR4A3 expression, activate the PINK1/Parkin pathway, and thereby enhance osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, offering a promising treatment for DO.

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
Zinc ferrite nanoparticles (ZnF NPs) were synthesized by a green method using Psidium guava Leaves extract and characterized via structural and optical properties. The surface of ZnF NPs was stabilized with citric acid (CA) by a direct addition method to obtain (ZnF-CA NPs), and then lipase (LP) enzyme was immobilized on ZnF-CA NPs to obtain a modified ZnF-CA-LP nanocomposite (NCs). The prepared sample's photocatalytic activity against Methylene blue dye (MB) was determined. The antioxidant activity of ZnF-CA-LP NCs was measured using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) as a source of free radicals. In addition, the antibacterial and antibiofilm capabilities of these substances were investigated by testing them against gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus ATCC 25923) and gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli ATCC 25922) bacterial strains. The synthesized ZnF NPs were discovered to be situated at the core of the material, as determined by XRD, HRTEM, and SEM investigations, while the CA and lipase enzymes were coated in this core. The ZnF-CA-LP NCs crystallite size was around 35.0 nm at the (311) plane. Results obtained suggested that 0.01 g of ZnF-CA-LP NCs achieved 96.0% removal of 5.0 ppm of MB at pH 9.0. In-vitro zone of inhibition (ZOI) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) results verified that ZnF-CA-LP NCs exhibited its encouraged antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and E. coli (20.0 ± 0.512, and 27.0 ± 0.651 mm ZOI, respectively) & (1.25, and 0.625 μg/ml MIC, respectively). ZnF-CA-LP NPs showed antibiofilm percentage against S. aureus (88.4%) and E. coli (96.6%). Hence, ZnF-CA-LP NCs are promising for potential applications in environmental and biomedical uses.

Abstract
The widespread use of antibiotics in agricultural and animal husbandry to treat bacterial illnesses has resulted in a rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria. These bacteria can grow when antibiotic residues are present in food items, especially in edible animal products. As a result, it is crucial to monitor and regulate the amounts of antibiotics in food. Magnetic analytical extractions (MAEs) have emerged as a potential approach for extracting antibiotic residues from food using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). Recent improvements in MAEs have resulted in the emergence of novel MNPs with better selectivity and sensitivity for the extraction of antibiotic residues from food samples. Consequently, this review paper addresses current developments in MAE for extracting antibiotic residues from edible samples. It also provides a critical analysis of contemporary MAE practices. The current issues and potential future developments in this field are also discussed, thereby providing a framework for future study paths.

Abstract
This paper presents an experimental study of partial discharge activity in ferrofluids based on biodegradable transformer oil and iron oxide nanoparticles. Three ferrofluid samples with low, medium and high nanoparticle concentrations are employed in the research. The basic ferrofluid characterization is followed by a partial discharge experiment exposing the ferrofluids to a high voltage in a needle-plate electrode configuration. The analysis confirms that the apparent charge and number of discharges decrease with increasing nanoparticle concentration. These findings are interpreted with reference to the well-recognised electro-hydrodynamic streamer model. The charge trapping by nanoparticles hinders the ionization and discharge development. The study also focuses on the partial discharge activity in the ferrofluids under the action of a static magnetic field acting perpendicularly to the electric field. A decreasing trend in the number of discharges due to the magnetic field is revealed. A qualitative explanation is provided based on the field-induced cluster formation and charge mobility reduction. The presented experiment and the discussed findings may be valuable for practical application of the ferrofluid in high voltage equipment with a special need for partial discharge suppression.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CC) is one of the most predominant malignancies in the world, with the current treatment regimen consisting of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Chemotherapeutic drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), have gained popularity as first-line antineoplastic agents against CC but have several drawbacks, including variable absorption through the gastrointestinal tract, inconsistent liver metabolism, short half-life, toxicological reactions in several organ systems, and others. Therefore, herein, we develop chitosan-coated zinc-substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CZCFNPs) for the pH-sensitive (triggered by chitosan degradation within acidic organelles of cells) and sustained delivery of 5-FU in CC cells in vitro. Additionally, the developed nanoplatform served as an excellent exogenous optical coherence tomography (OCT) contrast agent, enabling a significant improvement in the OCT image contrast in a CC tissue phantom model with a biomimetic microvasculature. Further, this study opens up new possibilities for using OCT for the non-invasive monitoring and/or optimization of magnetic targeting capabilities, as well as real-time tracking of magnetic nanoparticle-based therapeutic platforms for biomedical applications. Overall, the current study demonstrates the development of a CZCFNP-based theranostic platform capable of serving as a reliable drug delivery system as well as a superior OCT exogenous contrast agent for tissue imaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dynamic fluctuation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can serve as an indicator of tumor progression. However, the sensitive isolation of CTCs remains extremely challenging due to their rarity and heterogeneity. Against this dilemma, dendritic boronic acid-modified magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were prepared in this study, and polyethyleneimine (PEI) was utilized as a scaffold to significantly increase the number of boronic acid moieties. Then the novel developed material was applied to monitor the number of CTCs in mice with metastatic breast cancer to evaluate the therapeutic effects of matrine (Mat), doxorubicin (Dox), and Mat in combination with Dox. RESULTS Compared to the low binding capacity of a single boronic acid ligand, dendritic boronic acid shows enhanced sensitivity in binding to sialic acid (SA), which is overexpressed in CTCs. The results showed that the capture efficiency of this modified material could achieve 94.7% and successfully captured CTCs in blood samples from mice with metastatic breast cancer. The CTC counts were consistent with the results of the pathologic examination, demonstrating the reliability and utility of the method. SIGNIFICANCE The dendritic boronic acid nanomaterials prepared in this study showed high specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy for cancer cell capture. The approach is expected to provide new insights into cancer diagnosis, personalized therapy, and optimization of treatment regimens.

Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of foliar magnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (IONP) application on the physiology, photosynthetic parameters, magnetic character, and mineral element distribution of cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme). The IONP suspension (500 mg L-1) was sprayed once (S1), twice (S2), thrice (S3), and four times (S4) a week on seedlings. Upon 21 days of the treatments, photosynthetic parameters (chlorophyll, carotenoids, photosynthetic yield, electron transport rate) were elucidated. Inductively-coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to determine the mineral elements and abundance of magnetic power in the seedlings. In addition, the RT-qPCR method was performed to quantify the expressions of photosystem-related (PsaC, PsbP6, and PsbQ) and ferritin-coding (Fer-1 and Fer-2) genes. Results revealed that the physiological and photosynthetic indices were improved upon S1 treatment. The optimal dosage of IONP spraying enhances chlorophyll, carotenoid, electron transport rate (ETR), and effective photochemical quantum yield of photosystem II (Y(II)) but substantially diminishes non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). However, frequent IONP applications (S2, S3, and S4) caused growth retardation and suppressed the photosynthetic parameters, suggesting a toxic effect of IONP in recurrent treatments. Fer-1 and Fer-2 expressions were strikingly increased by IONP applications, suggesting an attempt to neutralize the excess amount of Fe ions by ferritin. Nevertheless, frequent IONP treatment fluctuated the mineral distribution and caused growth inhibition. Although low-repeat foliar applications of IONP (S1 in this study) may help improve plant growth, consecutive applications (S2, S3, and S4) should be avoided.

Abstract
Cocaine and antidepressants rank high globally in substance consumption, emphasizing their impact on public health. The determination of these compounds and related substances in biological samples is crucial for forensic toxicology. This study focused on developing an innovative analytical method for the determination of cocaine, antidepressants, and their related metabolites in postmortem blood samples, using unmodified commercial Fe3O4 nanoparticles as a sorbent for dispersive magnetic solid-phase extraction (m-d-SPE), coupled with liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. An aliquot of 100 µL of whole blood and 5 µL of the internal standard pool were added to 30 mg of nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were separated from the sample using a neodymium magnet inserted into a 3D-printed microtube rack. The liquid was then discarded, followed by desorption with 300 µL of 1/1/1 acetonitrile/methanol/ethyl acetate. The sample was vortexed and separated, and 1.5 µL of the organic supernatant was injected into the LC-MS/MS. The method was acceptably validated and successfully applied to 263 postmortem blood samples. All samples evaluated in this study were positive for at least one substance. The most frequent analyte was benzoylecgonine, followed by cocaine and cocaethylene. The most common antidepressants encountered in the analyzed samples were citalopram and fluoxetine, followed by fluoxetine's metabolite norfluoxetine. This study describes the first report of this sorbent in postmortem blood analysis, demonstrating satisfactory results for linearity, precision, accuracy, and selectivity for all compounds. The method's applicability was confirmed, establishing it as an efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional techniques for forensic casework.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have useful properties, such as strong magnetism and compatibility with living organisms which is preferable for medical applications such as drug delivery and imaging. However, increasing use of these materials, especially in medicine, has raised concerns regarding potential risks to human health. In this study, IONPs were coated with silicon dioxide (SiO2), citric acid (CA), and polyethylenimine (PEI) to enhance their dispersion and biocompatibility. Both coated and uncoated IONPs were assessed for genotoxic effects on Drosophila melanogaster. Results showed that uncoated IONPs induced genotoxic effects, including mutations and recombinations, while the coated IONPs demonstrated reduced or negligible genotoxicity. Additionally, bioinformatic analyses highlighted potential implications of induced recombination in various cancer types, underscoring the importance of understanding nanoparticle-induced genomic instability. This study highlights the importance of nanoparticle coatings in reducing potential genotoxic effects and emphasizes the necessity for comprehensive toxicity assessments in nanomaterial research.

Abstract
Enhanced kinetic stability of Fe-NPs in groundwater is a focus in application of Fe-NPs for groundwater remediation. The effect of surfactants (Triton X-100 and SDBS) and polymers (XG, SA, CCS, PSS and PVP) on the kinetic stability of Fe-NPs were studied with sedimentation experiments. Polymers improved stability of nFe3O4 and XG had the best effect, while surfactants had minimal effect. There was a critical concentration (CSC) for XG to stabilize nFe3O4, which was 2.0 g/L. At such a concentration nFe3O4, nFe2O3, and nCuO did not settled in 10 h, while the settlement occurred below the concentration and increased with decreasing XG concentration. At CSC XG could stabilize 20 g/L of nFe3O4 for >30 days and 8.0 g/L of nZVI for 13 days. Rheology studies indicated that the enhanced stability was due to the entanglement of XG molecules in the concentration range of 0.5-2.8 g/L and the formation of a uniform entangled network at CSC concentration was responsible for non-sedimentation of Fe-NPs. At hyper-CSC concentrations under the regime of concentrated network (>2.8 g/L), the stability of nFe3O4 and nFe2O3 decreased due to depletion interaction. The rules for XG to stabilize particles and information about the critical concentration will improve XG application in groundwater remediation using Fe-NPs.

Abstract
The applications of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) as biocatalysts in different biomedical areas have been evolved very recently. One of the main challenges in this field is to design affective MNPs surfaces with catalytically active atomic centres, while producing minimal toxicological side effects on the hosting cell or tissues. MNPs of vanadium spinel ferrite (VFe2O4) are a promising material for mimicking the action of natural enzymes in degrading harmful substrates due to the presence of active V5+ centres. However, the toxicity of this material has not been yet studied in detail enough to grant biomedical safety. In this work, we have extensively measured the structural, compositional, and magnetic properties of a series of VxFe3-xO4 spinel ferrite MNPs to assess the surface composition and oxidation state of V atoms, and also performed systematic and extensive in vitro cytotoxicity and genotoxicity testing required to assess their safety in potential clinical applications. We could establish the presence of V5+ at the particle surface even in water-based colloidal samples at pH 7, as well as different amounts of V2+ and V3+ substitution at the A and B sites of the spinel structure. All samples showed large heating efficiency with Specific Loss Power values up to 400 W/g (H0 = 30 kA/m; f = 700 kHz). Samples analysed for safety in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell line with up to 24h of exposure showed that these MNPs did not induce major genomic abnormalities such as micronuclei, nuclear buds, or nucleoplasmic bridges (MNIs, NBUDs, and NPBs), nor did they cause DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) or aneugenic effects-types of damage considered most harmful to cellular genetic material. The present study is an essential step towards the use of these type of nanomaterials in any biomedical or clinical application.

Abstract
To ensure maximum therapeutic safety and efficacy of stem cell transplantation, it is essential to observe the kinetics of behavior, accumulation, and engraftment of transplanted stem cells in vivo. However, it is difficult to detect transplanted stem cells with high sensitivity by conventional in vivo imaging technologies. To diagnose the kinetics of transplanted stem cells, we prepared multifunctional nanoparticles, Gd2O3 co-doped with Er3+ and Yb3+ (Gd2O3: Er, Yb-NPs), and developed an in vivo double modal imaging technique with near-infrared-II (NIR-II) fluorescence imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of stem cells using Gd2O3: Er, Yb-NPs. Gd2O3: Er, Yb-NPs were transduced into adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) through a simple incubation process without cytotoxicity under certain concentrations of Gd2O3: Er, Yb-NPs and were found not to affect the morphology of ASCs. ASCs labeled with Gd2O3: Er, Yb-NPs were transplanted subcutaneously onto the backs of mice, and successfully imaged with good contrast using an in vivo NIR-II fluorescence imaging and MRI system. These data suggest that Gd2O3: Er, Yb-NPs may be useful for in vivo double modal imaging with NIR-II fluorescence imaging and MRI of transplanted stem cells.

Abstract
Cryopreserved human heart valves fill a crucial role in the treatment for congenital cardiac anomalies, since the use of alternative mechanical and xenogeneic tissue valves have historically been limited in babies. Heart valve models have been used since 1998 to better understand the impact of cryopreservation variables on the heart valve tissue components with the ultimate goals of improving cryopreserved tissue outcomes and potentially extrapolating results with tissues to organs. Cryopreservation traditionally relies on conventional freezing, employing cryoprotective agents, and slow cooling to sub-zero centigrade temperatures; but it is plagued by the formation of ice crystals and cell damage upon thawing. Researchers have identified ice-free vitrification procedures and developed a new rapid warming method termed nanowarming. Nanowarming is an emerging method that utilizes targeted application of energy at the nanoscale level to rapidly rewarm vitrified tissues, such as heart valves, uniformly for transplantation. Vitrification and nanowarming methods hold great promise for surgery, enabling the storage and transplantation of tissues for various applications, including tissue repair and replacement. These innovations have the potential to revolutionize complex tissue and organ transplantation, including partial heart transplantation. Banking these grafts addresses organ scarcity by extending preservation duration while preserving biological activity with maintenance of structural fidelity. While ice-free vitrification and nanowarming show remarkable potential, they are still in early development. Further interdisciplinary research must be dedicated to exploring the remaining challenges that include scalability, optimizing cryoprotectant solutions, and ensuring long-term viability upon rewarming in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles with increasing superparamagnetism and magnetic targeting have found widespread application in fields such as food and medicine. In this study, polycarboxylated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-COOH) were prepared by surface functionalizing iron tetraoxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a modifier. The appropriate degree of functionalization modification was obtained by adjusting the EDTA concentration and the ratio of cross-linking agents. The prepared magnetic nanoparticles were analyzed with structural and property characterization. The results showed that the Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-COOH magnetic nanoparticles prepared with 4 % EDTA and cross-linking agents at a molar ratio of 3:4 were uniform in particle size, with an average size of roughly 7 nm, and possessed an abundant carboxylate content (310.8064 μmol/g) and a high magnetization intensity (35.05 emu/g). As a model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was immobilized on the surface of magnetic particles. The largest amount of immobilized protein was 500.4376 mg BSA/g at pH 4.0 and no extra salt ions. According to molecular docking simulations, its immobilization was due to the interaction of amino and carboxyl groups at the Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-COOH/BSA interface. Fe3O4@SiO2@CS-COOH possesses a large number of carboxyl groups, strong protein immobilization, and magnetic responsiveness, which may have potential applications in biomedical and food fields.

Abstract
This study explored the effectiveness of nasal administration in delivering magnetic nanoparticles into the brain for magnetic particle imaging of target regions. Successful delivery of iron oxide nanoparticles, which serve as contrast agents, to specific sites within the brain is crucial for achieving magnetic particle imaging. Nasal administration has gained attention as a method to bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly deliver therapeutics to the brain. In this study, we investigated surface modification techniques for administering magnetic nanoparticles into the nasal cavity, and provided experimental validation through in vivo studies. By compositing magnetic nanoparticles with gold nanoparticles, we enabled additional surface modification via AuS bonds without compromising their magnetic properties. The migration of the designed PEGylated magnetic nanoparticles into the brain following nasal administration was confirmed by magnetization measurements. Furthermore, we demonstrated the accumulation of these nanoparticles at specific target sites using probe molecules immobilized on the PEG terminus. Thus, the efficacy of delivering magnetic nanoparticles to the brain via nasal administration was demonstrated in this study. The findings of this research are expected to contribute significantly to the realization of magnetic particle imaging of target regions within the brain.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-coated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have been reported to show potential applications in many biomedical fields. In this report, we have studied the interactions between magnetite (Fe3O4) MNPs functionalized with polysaccharides (diethylamino-ethyl dextran, DEAE-D or chitosan, CHI) with different membranes models by Langmuir isotherms, incorporation experiments, and brewster angle microscopy (BAM). In this report, zwitterionic 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoethanolamine (DSPE) and anionic 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (DSPA) phospholipid, were used to form membrane models. Incorporation experiments (π-t) as well as the compression isotherms demonstrate positive interactions between MNPs and DSPE or DSPA monolayers. The study assessed the impact of varying initial surface pressure on a preformed phospholipid monolayer to determine the maximum insertion pressure (MIP) and synergy. Our findings indicate that the primary driving force of the coated MNPs incorporation into the monolayer predominantly stems from electrostatic interaction. The drop in the subphase pH from 6.0 to 4.0 led to an enhancement of the MIP value for DSPA phospholipid monolayer. On the other hand, for DSPE, the drop in the pH does not affect the MIP values. Besides, the presence of a magnetic field induces an enhancement of the insertion process of the MNPs into DSPA preformed monolayer, demonstrating that a previous interaction between MNPs and phospholipid preformed monolayer needs to take place to enhance the incorporation process. This work opens novel perspectives for the research of the influence of magnetic fields on the incorporation of MNPs into model membranes.

Abstract
In this study, titanium (IV)-immobilized magnetic nanoparticles (Ti4+-PTL-MNPs) were firstly synthesized via a one-step aqueous self-assembly of lysozyme nanofilms for efficient phosphopeptide enrichment. Under physiological conditions, lysozymes readily self-organized into phase-transitioned lysozyme (PTL) nanofilms on Fe3O4@SiO2 and Fe3O4@C MNP surfaces with abundant functional groups, including -NH2, -COOH, -OH, and -SH, which can be used as multiple linkers to efficiently chelate Ti4+. The obtained Ti4+-PTL-MNPs possessed high sensitivity of 0.01 fmol μL-1 and remarkable selectivity even at a mass ratio of β-casein to BSA as low as 1:400 for phosphopeptide enrichment. Furthermore, the synthesized Ti4+-PTL-MNPs can also selectively identify low-abundance phosphopeptides from extremely complicated human serum samples and their rapid separation, good reproducibility, and excellent recovery were also proven. This one-step self-assembly of PTL nanofilms facilitated the facile and efficient surface functionalization of various nanoparticles for proteomes/peptidomes.

Abstract
A new magnetic nanoparticle modified with sodium tungstate (Mnp-Si-W) was synthesized and employed for the sorption of molybdenum from aqueous solutions. The prepared nanoparticles (Mnp-Si-W) were characterized by different advanced techniques. Different parameters that influenced the adsorption percent of Mo(VI) were investigated using a batch process. Based on a systematic investigation of the adsorption isotherms and kinetics models, Mo(VI) adsorption follows the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics. According to the Langmuir isotherm model, the Mnp-Si-W nanoparticles exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 182.03 mg g-1 for Mo(VI) at pH 2.0. The effect of competing ions showed that the prepared nanoparticles have a high selectivity for the sorption of molybdenum. Moreover, the effect of some interfering anions on Mo(VI) ion sorption is found in the following order: phosphate < sulfate < chromate. Finally, the nanoparticle (Mnp-Si-W) can be successfully reused five times.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles, such as magnetite (Fe3O4), exhibit superparamagnetic properties below 15 nm at room temperature. They are being explored for medical applications, and the coprecipitation technique is preferred for cost-effective production. This study investigates the impact of synthesis temperature on the nanoparticles' physicochemical characteristics. Two types of magnetic analysis were conducted. Samples T 40, T 50, and T 60 displayed superparamagnetic behavior, as evidenced by the magnetization curves. The experiments verified the development of magnetic nanoparticles with an average diameter of approximately dozens of nanometers, as determined by various measurement methods such as XDR, Raman, and TEM. Raman spectroscopy showed the characteristic bands of the magnetite phase at 319, 364, 499, and 680 cm-1. This was confirmed in the second analysis with the ZFC-FC curves, which showed that the samples' blocking temperatures were below ambient temperature. ZFC-FC curves revealed a similar magnetization of about 30 emu/g when applying a magnetic field of 5 kOe.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) aptamer sensor (aptasensor) using a noble metal nanoparticle-magnetic nanospheres composite was developed for L-theanine detection. It makes use of Fe3O4@Au MNPs and Au@Ag NPs embedded with the Raman reporter 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4MBA). Au@4MBA@Ag NPs modified by aptamer and Fe3O4@Au MNPs modified by cDNA created the aptasensor with the strongest Raman signal of 4MBA through the specific binding of the aptamer. With the preferred binding of L-theanine aptamer to L-theanine, Au@4MBA@Ag NPs were released from Fe3O4@Au MNPs, causing a linear decrease in SERS intensity to achieve the SERS detection of the L-theanine. The SERS peak of 4MBA at 1078 cm-1 was used for quantitative determination. SERS intensity showed a good log-linear relationship within the range 10-10 to 10-6 M of L-theanine. The aptasensor has a high selectivity for L-theanine compared with other twelve tested analytes. Hence, this aptasensor is a promising analytical tool for L-theanine detection. The developed method was applied to the analysis of real samples, demonstrating excellent performance. The comparison with the standard liquid chromatography mass spectrometry method showed an error within 20%.

Abstract
It has been observed that polyvalent metal ions can mediate the adsorption of DNA on polydopamine (PDA) surfaces. Exploiting this, we used two divalent metal ions (Mg2+ or Ca2+) to promote the adsorption of fluorescence-labelled ochratoxin A (OTA) aptamers on PDA-coated magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PDA). Based on the different adsorption affinities of free aptamers and OTA-bound aptamers, a facile assay method was established for OTA detection. The aptamers adsorbed on Fe3O4@PDA were removed via simple magnetic separation, and the remaining aptamers in the supernatant exhibited a positive correlation with the OTA concentration. The concentrations of Mg2+ and Ca2+ were finely tuned to attain the optimal adsorption affinity and sensitivity for OTA detection. In addition, other factors, including the Fe3O4@PDA dosage, pH, mixing order, and incubation time, were studied. Finally, under optimized conditions, a detection limit (3σ/s) of 1.26 ng/mL was achieved for OTA. Real samples of spiked red wine were analysed with this aptamer-based method. This is the first report of regulating aptamer adsorption on the PDA surface with polyvalent metal ions for OTA detection. By changing the aptamers, the method can be easily extended to other target analytes.

Abstract
Since the establishment of the first global refinery in 1856, crude oil has remained one of the most lucrative natural resources worldwide. However, during the extraction process from reservoirs, crude oil gets contaminated with sediments, water, and other impurities. The presence of pressure, shear forces, and surface-active compounds in crude oil leads to the formation of unwanted oil/water emulsions. These emulsions can take the form of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, where water droplets disperse continuously in crude oil, or oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, where crude oil droplets are suspended in water. To prevent the spread of water and inorganic salts, these emulsions need to be treated and eliminated. In existing literature, different demulsification procedures have shown varying outcomes in effectively treating oil/water emulsions. The observed discrepancies have been attributed to various factors such as temperature, salinity, pH, droplet size, and emulsifier concentrations. It is crucial to identify the most effective demulsification approach for oil/water separation while adhering to environmental regulations and minimizing costs for the petroleum sector. Therefore, this study aims to explore and review recent advancements in two popular demulsification techniques: chemical demulsification and magnetic nanoparticles-based (MNP) demulsification. The advantages and disadvantages of each technique are assessed, with the magnetic approach emerging as the most promising due to its desirable efficiency and compliance with environmental and economic concerns. The findings of this report are expected to have a significant impact on the overall process of separating oil and water, benefiting the oil and gas industry, as well as other relevant sectors in achieving the circular economy.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of malaria can prevent the spread of disease and save lives, which, however, remains challenging in remote and less developed regions. Here we report a portable and low-cost optomagnetic biosensor for rapid amplification and detection of malarial mitochondrial DNA. Bioresponsive magnetic nanoparticle assemblies are constructed by using nucleic acid scaffolds containing endonucleolytic DNAzymes and their substrates, which can be activated by the presence of target DNA and self-disintegrated to release magnetic nanoparticles for optomagnetic quantification. Specifically, target molecules can induce padlock probe ligation and subsequent one-pot homogeneous cascade reactions consisting of nicking-enhanced rolling circle amplification, DNAzyme-assisted nucleic acid recycling, and strand-displacement-driven disintegration of the magnetic assembly. With an optimized magnetic actuation process for reaction acceleration, a detection limit of 1 fM can be achieved by the proposed biosensor with a total assay time of ca. 90 min and a dynamic detection range spanning 3 orders of magnitude. The robustness of the system was validated by testing target molecules spiked in 5% serum samples. Clinical sample validation was conducted by testing malaria-positive clinical blood specimens, obtaining quantitative results concordant with qPCR measurements.

Abstract
The portable and sensitive point-of-care-test (POCT) method is in urgent need to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) for ensuring public health and safety. However, detection of trace number of pathogens in real water sample from the environment still faces challenges, because complex environment disruptors can rapidly degrade targets. Herein, magnetic beads coated with fucoidan and polydopamine (Fuc-PDA-MBs) were introduced as the capture carrier for pretreatment of samples. Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide, can recognize the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S1) protein receptor-binding domain (S1 RBD) and was chosen for replacement of antibody in enrichment. Environmental water seeded with SARS-CoV-2 spike pseudovirus was applied to test performance of Fuc-PDA-MBs method. Under optimal conditions, the use of Fuc-PDA-MBs showed average 76 % capture efficiency at SARS-CoV-2 spike pseudovirus concentration ranging from 107.62 to 104.34 gene copies (gc)/L. Compared with Electronegative filtration (ENF), Fuc-PDA-MBs showed better virion sorption effectiveness. Fuc-PDA-MBs also validated by raw contaminated urban wastewater and showed high recovery results for SARS-CoV-2 variants. To rapidly detect virus in POCT, nucleic acid extraction-free Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) was used for simplifying experimental process. The Fuc-PDA-MBs-LAMP assay showed the quantitation limit of sample (LOQ) was 105.49 gc/L. The whole procedure could be completed within 90 min, including 30 min for virus pre-enrichment, 10 min nucleic acid release and 45 min LAMP analysis. Compared with regular antibody-based immunodetection, this integrated system provides broad-spectrum, economic way to detect SARS-CoV-2 mutants in complex environments and also adaptable for high throughput test, which might be used for on-site early warning of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks in developing area.

Abstract
Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CFN) are employed in data storage, imaging, medication administration, and catalysis due to their superparamagnetic characteristics. The widespread use of CFN led to significantly increased exposure to people and the environment to these nanoparticles. Until now, there is not any published paper describing the adverse effect of repeated oral intake of this nanoformulation on rats' lungs. So, the current research aims to elucidate the pulmonary toxicity prompted by different concentrations of CFN in rats as well as to explore the mechanistic way of such toxicity. We used 28 rats that were divided equally into 4 groups. The control group received normal saline, and the experimental groups received CFN at dosage levels 0.05, 0.5, and 5 mg/kg bwt. Our findings revealed that CFN enhanced dose-dependent oxidative stress manifested by raising in the MDA levels and declining in the GSH content. The histopathological examination revealed interstitial pulmonary inflammation along with bronchial and alveolar damage in both 0.5 and 5 mg CFN given groups. All these lesions were confirmed by the immunohistochemical staining that demonstrated strong iNOS and Cox-2 protein expression. There was also a significant upregulation of TNFα, Cox-2, and IL-1β genes with downregulation of IL-10 and TGF-β genes. Additionally, the group receiving 0.05 mg CFN did not exhibit any considerable toxicity in all measurable parameters. We concluded that the daily oral intake of either 0.5 or 5 mg CFN, but not 0.05 mg, could induce pulmonary toxicity via NPs and/or its leached components (cobalt and iron)-mediated oxido-inflammatory stress. Our findings may help to clarify the mechanisms of pulmonary toxicity generated by these nanoparticles through outlining the standards for risk assessment in rats as a human model.

Abstract
Membrane distillation (MD) has promising potential in the water purification and wastewater treatment industries; however, fouling and wetting are the main obstacles to its commercialization, and higher fluxes and energy efficiencies are essential. Magneto-responsive membranes (MagMem) with integrated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) enable in situ fouling mitigation and switchable separation by nano-mixing or nano-heating, triggered by external magnetic fields, in a range of membrane processes, but not yet been demonstrated in MD. This perspective discussed the potential paths of MagMem utilization in MD based on the research status and dilemmas of MD. It can be envisioned that MagMem will lead to a paradigm shift in MD, especially by in situ fouling/wetting mitigation and enhancing energy efficiency via in-place actuation and localized heating by MNPs. Moreover, remotely controllable pore tuning and specific or switchable wettability can also be anticipated. Overall, MagMem provides attractive opportunities for advanced robust and efficient MD.

Abstract
Cytokine storms characterized by excessive secretion of circulating cytokines and immune-cell hyperactivation are life-threatening systemic inflammatory syndromes. The new strategy is in great demand to inhibit the cytokine storm. Here, we designed a type of magnetically controlled nanorobots (MAGICIAN) by fusing neutrophil membranes onto Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4NPs). In our study, the receptors of neutrophil membranes were successfully coated to the surface of Fe3O4NPs. The associated membrane functions of neutrophils were highly preserved. MAGICIAN could in vitro neutralize the inflammatory cytokines including interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and interferon γ (IFN-γ). Interestingly, MAGICIAN could be navigated to the liver sites under magnetic control and accelerated the cytokine clearance by the liver. Administration of MAGICIAN could efficiently relieve the inflammation in the acute lung injury mouse model. In addition, MAGICIAN displayed good biosafety in systemic administration. The present study provides a safe and convenient approach for the clearance of cytokine storms, indicating the potential for clinical application in acute lung injury therapy.

Abstract
Ferroptosis offers a novel method for overcoming therapeutic resistance of cancers to conventional cancer treatment regimens. Its effective use as a cancer therapy requires a precisely targeted approach, which can be facilitated by using nanoparticles and nanomedicine, and their use to enhance ferroptosis is indeed a growing area of research. While a few review papers have been published on iron-dependent mechanism and inducers of ferroptosis cancer therapy that partly covers ferroptosis nanoparticles, there is a need for a comprehensive review focusing on the design of magnetic nanoparticles that can typically supply iron ions to promote ferroptosis and simultaneously enable targeted ferroptosis cancer nanomedicine. Furthermore, magnetic nanoparticles can locally induce ferroptosis and combinational ferroptosis with diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The use of remotely controllable magnetic nanocarriers can offer highly effective localized image-guided ferroptosis cancer nanomedicine. Here, recent developments in magnetically manipulable nanocarriers for ferroptosis cancer nanomedicine with medical imaging are summarized. This review also highlights the advantages of current state-of-the-art image-guided ferroptosis cancer nanomedicine. Finally, image guided combinational ferroptosis cancer therapy with conventional apoptosis-based therapy that enables synergistic tumor therapy is discussed for clinical translations.

Abstract
Nanostructured materials have gained significant attention in recent years for their potential in biological applications, such as cell and biomolecular sorting, as well as early detection of metastatic cancer. Among these materials, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) stand out for their easy functionalization, high specific surface area, chemical stability, and superparamagnetic properties. However, conventional fabrication methods can lead to inconsistencies in MNPs' characteristics and performance, highlighting the need for a cost-effective, controllable, and reproducible synthesis approach. In this review, we will discuss the utilization of microfluidic technology as a cutting-edge strategy for the continuous and regulated synthesis of MNPs. This approach has proven effective in producing MNPs with a superior biomedical performance by offering precise control over particle size, shape, and surface properties. We will examine the latest research findings on developing and integrating MNPs synthesized through continuous microfluidic processes for a wide range of biological applications. By providing an overview of the current state of the field, this review aims to showcase the advantages of microfluidics in the fabrication and integration of MNPs, emphasizing their potential to revolutionize diagnostic and therapeutic methods within the realm of biotechnology.

Abstract
The use of nanotechnology products with supermagnetic properties for targeted delivery of drugs has gained attention recently. Due to the anticancer features of Gingerol, the major phenolic compound from Ginger, this study aims to prepare Fe3O4@Glucose-Gingerol nanoparticles (NPs) and investigate their anticancer potential in a lung adenocarcinoma cell line. The physical and chemical features of the nanoparticles were investigated by FT-IR, XRD, zeta potential, DLS, EDS mapping, VSM, and electron microscope imaging. Cytotoxic effects of the nanoparticles for the A549 (lung adenocarcinoma) and MRC-5 (normal) cell lines was investigated by MTT assay. Furthermore, the effects of Fe3O4@Glucose-Gingerol nanoparticles on the expression of the CASP8, BAX, and BCL2 genes and the activity of Caspase 3 were characterized. The flow cytometry assay (annexin V/PI) was employed to find out the percentage of apoptotic cells. The Fe3O4@Glu-Gingerol NPs were spherical (42-67 nm), without elemental impurity, and with surface charge, DLS size, and magnetic saturation of -47.7 mV, 154 nm, and 35 emu/g, respectively. Fe3O4@Glu-Gingerol NPs showed a remarkable greater toxicity in the A549 cells than normal cell line with the 50 % inhibition concentration (IC50) of 190 and 554 μg/mL, respectively. Treatment of lung adenocarcinoma cells with the Fe3O4@Glu-Gingerol NPs led to an increase in cell apoptosis from 4.6 to 39.48 %. Also, the CASP8 and BAX genes were upregulated by 2.49 and 2.8 folds, respectively, while a downregulation by 0.75 folds was noticed for the BCL2. Moreover, apoptotic features were observed in Fe3O4@Glu-Gingerol NPs treated cells by Hoechst staining, and activation of Caspase 3 by 2.8 folds. This study revealed that the Fe3O4@Glu-Gingerol NPs have antiproliferative effects on the lung adenocarcinoma cell line by activation of intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis that is a promising feature in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to assess and compare the potential of advanced nano/micro delivery systems, including quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, magnetic nanoparticles, dendrimers, and microneedles, as theranostic platforms for oral cancer. Furthermore, we seek to evaluate their respective advantages and disadvantages over the past decade. Materials and Methods A comprehensive literature search was performed using Google Scholar and PubMed, with a focus on articles published between 2013 and 2023. Search queries included the specific advanced delivery system as the primary term, followed by oral cancer as the secondary term (e.g., "quantum dots AND oral cancer," etc.). Results The advanced delivery platforms exhibited notable diagnostic and therapeutic advantages when compared to conventional techniques or control groups. These benefits encompassed improved tumor detection and visualization, enhanced precision in targeting tumors with reduced harm to neighboring tissues, and improved drug solubility and distribution, leading to enhanced drug absorption and tumor uptake. Conclusion The findings suggest that advanced nano/micro delivery platforms hold promise for addressing numerous challenges associated with chemotherapy. By enabling precise targeting of cancerous cells, these platforms have the potential to mitigate adverse effects on surrounding healthy tissues, thus encouraging the development of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for oral cancer.

In this study, an integrated QuEChERS method was developed for the rapid determination of 22 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in milk by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The extraction and purification processes were combined into one step with this method. Meanwhile, the solid-liquid separation was carried out by magnetic suction (Fe3O4-SiO2) instead of the centrifugal process. The primary experimental parameters were optimized, including the type of extraction solvent, the amounts of magnetic nanomaterials (Fe3O4-SiO2), and the purification materials (ZrO2 and C18). The developed method exhibits high precision (RSDs < 9.9%), low limits of detection (0.004-0.079 μg/kg) and limits of quantitation (0.01-0.26 μg/kg), and acceptable recovery (71.7-116%) under optimized conditions. The developed integrated QuEChERS method had clear superiority in terms of sample pretreatment time, operating procedures, reagent amount, and recovery. This makes it an excellent alternative analytical technique for PFAS residue measurement at low micrograms-per-kilogram ranges with desirable sensitivity.

Abstract
The present research aimed to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of manganese ferrite (M) and reduced graphene oxide (G) supported on pulverized activated carbon from cow bone waste (PAC-MG). PAC-MG was characterized by different instrumental techniques. The efficiency of PAC-MG was evaluated using solar irradiation under different conditions of photocatalyst concentration, H2O2 concentration, and pH ranges for the discoloration of methylene blue dye (MB). The synergy between the nanomaterials potentiated the photocatalytic activity, reaching 85.5% of MB discoloration when using 0.25 g L-1 of catalyst at neutral pH with no oxidant needed. Furthermore, PAC-MG demonstrated excellent stability in 6 consecutive cycles. Finally, it is expected that the present study can add value to industrial waste and contribute to the development of novel water and wastewater treatment methods, ensuring water quality for human consumption and the environment.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticle-incorporated metal organic frameworks (MOF) are potential composites for various applications such as catalysis, water treatment, drug delivery, gas storage, chemical sensing, and heavy metal ion removal. MOFs exhibits high porosity and flexibility enabling guest species like heavy metal ions to diffuse into bulk structure. Additionally, shape and size of the pores contribute to selectivity of the guest materials. Incorporation of magnetic materials allows easy collection of adsorbent materials from solution system making the process simple and cost-effective. In view of the above advantages in the present review article, we are discussing recent advances of different magnetic material-incorporated MOF (Mg-MOF) composite for application in photocatalytic degradation of dyes and toxic chemicals, adsorption of organic compounds, adsorption of heavy metal ions, and adsorption of dyes. The review initially discusses on properties of Mg-MOF, different synthesis techniques such as mechanochemical, sonochemical (ultrasound) synthesis, slow evaporation and diffusion methods, solvo(hydro)-thermal and iono-thermal method, microwave-assisted method, microemulsion method post-synthetic modification template strategies and followed by application in waste water treatment.

Abstract
Nowadays, there is a growing interest in multifunctional therapeutic agents as valuable tools to improve and expand the applicability field of traditional bioactive compounds. In this context, the synthesis and main characteristics of dextran-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP-Dex) loaded with both an antioxidant, protocatechuic acid (PCA), and an antibiotic, ceftazidime (CAZ) or levofloxacin (LEV) are herein reported for the first time, with emphasis on the potentiation effect of PCA on drugs activity. All nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic light scattering. As evidenced by DPPH method, IONP-Dex loaded with PCA and LEV had similar antioxidant activity like those with PCA only, but higher than PCA and CAZ loaded ones. A synergy of action between PCA and each antibiotic co-loaded on IONP-Dex has been highlighted by an enhanced activity against reference bacterial strains, such as S. aureus and E. coli after 40 min of incubation. It was concluded that PCA, which is the main cause of the antioxidative properties of loaded nanoparticles, further improves the antimicrobial activity of IONP-Dex nanoparticles when was co-loaded with CAZ or LEV antibiotics. All constructs also showed a good biocompatibility with normal human dermal fibroblasts.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are promising in tumor treatments due to their capacity for magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and immuno-related therapies, but still suffer from unsatisfactory tumor inhibition in the clinic. Insufficient hydrogen peroxide supply, glutathione-induced resistance, and high-density extracellular matrix (ECM) are the barriers. Herein, we hierarchically decorated MNPs with disulfide bonds (S-S), dendritic L-arginine (R), and glucose oxidase (GOx) to form a nanosystem (MNPs-SS-R-GOx). Its outer GOx layer not only enhanced the H2O2 supply to produce .OH by Fenton reaction, but also generated stronger oxidants (ONOO-) together with the interfaced R layer. The inner S-S layer consumed glutathione to interdict its reaction with oxidants, thus enhancing CDT effects. Importantly, the generated ONOO- tripled the MMP-9 expression to induce ECM degradation, enabling much deeper penetration of MNPs and benefiting CDT, MHT, and immunotherapy. Finally, the MNPs-SS-R-GOx demonstrated a remarkable 91.7% tumor inhibition in vivo. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are a promising tumor therapeutic agent but with limited effectiveness. Our hierarchical MNP design features disulfide bonds (S-S), dendritic L-arginine (R), and glucose oxidase (GOx), which boosts H2O2 supply for ·OH generation in Fenton reactions, produces potent ONOO-, and enhances chemodynamic therapy via glutathione consumption. Moreover, the ONOO- facilitates the upregulation of matrix metalloprotein expression beneficial for extracellular matrix degradation, which in turn enhances the penetration of MNPs and benefits the antitumor CDT/MHT/immuno-related therapy. In vivo experiments have demonstrated an impressive 91.7% inhibition of tumor growth. This hierarchical design offers groundbreaking insights for further advancements in MNP-based tumor therapy. Its implications extend to a broader audience, encompassing those interested in material science, biology, oncology, and beyond.

Abstract
The sustainable processes are now in tremendous demand for nanomaterial synthesis as a result of their unique properties and characteristics. The magnetic nanoparticles comprised of Fe3O4 and its conjugate with abundant and renewable biopolymer, chitosan, were synthesized using Prosopis farcta biomass extract, and the resulting materials were used to adsorb Pb (II) from aqueous solution. Thermodynamic parameters revealed that the sorption of lead (II) on Fe3O4 as well as Fe3O4-Chitosan (Fe3O4-CS) has been an endothermic and self-regulating procedure wherein the sorption kinetics was defined by a pseudo-second-order pattern and the sorption isotherms corresponded to the Freundlich pattern. A multivariable quadratic technique for adsorption process optimization was implemented to optimize the lead (II) adsorption on Fe3O4 and Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles, the optimal conditions being pH 7.9, contact time of 31.2 min, initial lead concentration of 39.2 mg/L, adsorbent amount of 444.3 mg, at a 49.7 °C temperature. The maximum adsorption efficiencies under optimal conditions were found to be 69.02 and 89.54 % for Fe3O4 and Fe3O4-CS adsorbents, respectively. Notably, Fe3O4 and Fe3O4-CS can be easily recovered using an external magnet, indicating that they are a viable and cost-effective lead removal option.

Abstract
The presence of organic micropollutants in water bodies represents a threat to living organisms and ecosystems due to their toxicological effects and recalcitrance in conventional wastewater treatments. In this context, the application of heterogeneous photo-Fenton based on magnetite nanoparticles supported on mesoporous silica (SBA15) is proposed to carry out the non-specific degradation of the model compounds ibuprofen, carbamazepine, hormones, bisphenol A and the dye ProcionRed®. The operating conditions (i.e., pH, catalyst load and hydrogen peroxide concentration) were optimized by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The paramagnetic properties of the nanocatalysts allowed their repeated use in sequential batch operations with catalyst losses below 1%. The feasibility of the process was demonstrated as removal rates above 90% after twelve accomplished after twelve consecutive cycles. In addition, the contributions of different reactive oxygen species, mainly •OH, were analyzed together with the formation of by-products, achieving total mineralization values of 15% on average.

Abstract
The magnetic nanocarriers containing chitosan/hyaluronic acid complexed with κ-carrageenan were synthesized by solution method, as the drug delivery system. Doxorubicin (DOX) was used as the model drug. Characterization assessments were performed to identify the functional groups, determine the structure and morphology, and magnetic properties of nanodelivery system. Furthermore, their impacts on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-237 cell lines were evaluated by MTT assay. Analyses confirm polymers physical interaction, chemical bonding in the structure, moreover presence of spherical shape magnetic nanoparticles in the 100-150 nm range. The DOX loading was 74.1 ± 2.5 %. Results indicate that the drug loading was raised to 83.0±2.2 % by increasing the amount of κ-carrageenan in specimens. The swelling of samples in the acidic environment (e.g. pH 5.5) was verified by the Dynamic Light Scattering analysis. Consequently, pH stimulus-responsive drug release in the sustained stream and a considerable amount of DOX release (84±3.1 %) was detected as compared to a higher pH medium (27±1.5 % at pH 7.4). According to the MTT assay results, MNPs showed no inhibitory effect on both cell lines. Also, 10 and 15 μg/ml of MNPs-DOX was considered as IC50 value on MDA-MB-237 and MCF-7 cells, respectively. The DOX 25 μg/ml caused 50 % antiproliferative activity in both cell lines.

Abstract
In this work, a novel copper nano-magnetite doped carbon aerogel (CXMCA) was created utilizing a simple graft co-polymerization approach with xanthan gum (XG) as a template to tackle the agglomeration problem caused by magnetic nanoparticle magnetism. The results indicated that the XG based CXMCA exhibited outstanding magnetic properties (Ms = 36.52 emu/g) as well as strong catalytic activity for the degradation of cationic and anionic dyes. Among all organic dyes, methylene blue and crystal violet (MB, CV) as cationic dyes, as well as congo red and methyl orange (CR, and MO) as anionic dyes, CXMCA demonstrated an exceptional dye degradation rate (8.06 × 10-3 s-1-1.12 × 10-2 s-1) and was highly competent for cationic dyes with degradation (90 %-98 %) as compared to its unsupported magnetic nanoparticles. The formation of CXMCA catalyst is clearly confirmed by the FTIR, XRD, XPS, VSM, SEM & TEM analyses. We report a very effective xanthan gum-based copper nano-magnetite doped carbon aerogel dye scavenger with application in percentage dye degradation and kinetic investigations, as well as a remarkable reusability assay up to 7 repetition cycles. The findings suggested that using biological macromolecules like xanthan gum as a foundation to generate magnetic aerogels might be a good choice for evaluating environmental aspects.

Abstract
A "turn-on" aptasensor for label-free and cell-free EpCAM detection was constructed by employing magnetic α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4@Au nanocomposites as a matrix for signal amplification and double-stranded complex (SH-DNA/Apt probes) immobilization through Au-S binding. α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4@Au could be efficiently assembled into uniform and stable self-assembly films via magnetic-induced self-assembly technique on a magnetic glassy carbon electrode (MGCE). The effectiveness of the platform for EpCAM detection was confirmed through differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under optimized conditions, the platform exhibited excellent specificity for EpCAM, and a strong linear correlation was observed between the current and the logarithm of EpCAM protein concentration in the range 1 pg/mL-1000 pg/mL (R2 = 0.9964), with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.27 pg/mL. Furthermore, the developed platform demonstrated good stability during a 14-day storage test, with fluctuations remaining below 93.33% of the initial current value. Promising results were obtained when detecting EpCAM in spiked serum samples, suggesting its potential as a point-of-care (POC) testing.

Abstract
This study aimed to fabricate gum Arabic (GA)-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles bearing numerous active aldehyde groups on their surface, followed by an assessment of their capability as a magnetic support for the covalent immobilization of the trypsin enzyme for the first time. FT-IR, XRD, TGA, and SEM results demonstrated the successful synthesis of GA-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles, along with the covalent immobilization of the enzyme onto the support. Immobilization enhanced the relative enzymatic activity across a range of aqueous solution pH levels (ranging from 4 to 11) and temperatures (ranging from 20 to 80 °C) without altering the optimum pH and temperature for trypsin activity. Kinetic studies using Michaelis-Menten plots revealed changes in kinetic parameters, including a lower Vmax and higher Km for immobilized trypsin compared to the free enzyme. The immobilization onto magnetic gum Arabic nanoparticles resulted in an improved stability of trypsin in the presence of various solvents, maintaining a stability order comparable to that of the free enzyme due to the stabilizing effect of the support. The reusability results showed that the immobilized enzyme can retain over 93% of its activity for up to 15 cycles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Agar is used as a gelling agent that possesses a variety of biological properties; it consists of the polysaccharides agarose and porphyrin. In addition, the monomeric sugars generated after agar hydrolysis can be functionalized for use in biorefineries and biofuel production. The main objective of this study was to develop a sustainable agar hydrolysis process for bioethanol production using nanotechnology. Peroxidase-mimicking Fe3O4-MNPs were applied for agar degradation to generate agar hydrolysate-soluble fractions amenable to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli during fermentation. RESULTS Fe3O4-MNP-treated (Fe3O4-MNPs, 1 g/L) agar exhibited 0.903 g/L of reducing sugar, which was 21-fold higher than that of the control (without Fe3O4-MNP-treated). Approximately 0.0181% and 0.0042% of ethanol from 1% of agar was achieved using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli, respectively, after process optimization. Furthermore, different analytical techniques (FTIR, SEM, TEM, EDS, XRD, and TGA) were applied to validate the efficiency of Fe3O4-MNPs in agar degradation. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, Fe3O4-MNP-treated agar degradation for bioethanol production through process optimization is a simpler, easier, and novel method for commercialization.

Abstract
Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy to eradicate cancer cells. Particularly, the development of cancer vaccines to induce a potent and sustained antigen-specific T cell response has become a center of attention. Herein, we describe a novel immunotherapy based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) covalently modified with the OVA254-267 antigen and a CpG oligonucleotide via disulfide bonds. The MNP-CpG-COVA significantly enhances dendritic cell activation and CD8+ T cell antitumoral response against B16-OVA melanoma cells in vitro. Notably, the immune response induced by the covalently modified MNP is more potent and sustained over time than that triggered by the free components, highlighting the advantage of nanoformulations in immunotherapies. What is more, the nanoparticles are stable in the blood after in vivo administration and induce potent levels of systemic tumor-specific effector CD8 + T cells. Overall, our findings highlight the potential of covalently functionalized MNP to induce robust immune responses against mouse melanoma.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) causes great suffering to patients because of its heterogeneity, poor prognosis, and chemotherapy resistance. Ferroptosis is characterized by iron-dependent oxidative damage by accumulating intracellular lipid peroxides to lethal levels, and plays a vital role in the treatment of TNBC based on its intrinsic characteristics. To identify the relationship between chemotherapy resistance and ferroptosis in TNBC, we analyzed the single cell RNA-sequencing public dataset of GSE205551. It was found that the expression of Gpx4 in DOX-resistant TNBC cells was significantly higher than that in DOX-sensitive TNBC cells. Based on this finding, we hypothesize that inducing ferroptosis by inhibiting the expression of Gpx4 can reduce the resistance of TNBC to DOX and enhance the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy on TNBC. Herein, dihydroartemisinin (DHA)-loaded polyglutamic acid-stabilized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4-PGA-DHA) was combined with DOX-loaded polyaspartic acid-stabilized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4-PASP-DOX) for ferroptosis-enhanced chemotherapy of TNBC. Compared with Fe3O4-PASP-DOX, Fe3O4-PGA-DHA + Fe3O4-PASP-DOX demonstrated significantly stronger cytotoxicity against different TNBC cell lines and achieved significantly more intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxides. Furthermore, transcriptomic analyses demonstrated that Fe3O4-PASP-DOX-induced apoptosis could be enhanced by Fe3O4-PGA-DHA-induced ferroptosis and Fe3O4-PGA-DHA + Fe3O4-PASP-DOX might trigger ferroptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR/GPX4 pathway. Fe3O4-PGA-DHA + Fe3O4-PASP-DOX showed superior anti-tumor efficacy on MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing mice, providing great potential for improving the therapeutic effect of TNBC.
