Isosorbide-based cyclomatrix polyphosphazene for high-efficient and selective adsorption of cationic dyes: Experimental and computational studies

Jinjin Li et al.

Summary: A novel bio-based cyclomatrix polyphosphazene microsphere, poly(cyclotriphosphazene-co-isosorbide) (HISP), was prepared and characterized for efficient cationic-dyes adsorption. The microsphere showed high adsorption capacity and selectivity for cationic dyes, especially under alkaline conditions. The adsorption behavior could be described by pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption mechanism was attributed to electrostatic attractions derived from the electron-rich O atoms in isosorbide.

Mesoporous composite Ni-C-N/SA for selective adsorption of methylene blue from water

Chengyi Dai et al.

Summary: The mesoporous Ni-C-N/Silica aerogel (Ni-C-N/SA) was prepared by impregnating the [Ni(tepa)](2+) complex onto a negatively charged silica aerogel support and subjecting it to suitable thermal treatment. The Ni-C-N/SA exhibited selective adsorption for methylene blue (MB) and showed increased adsorption capacity compared to raw silica aerogel (RSA). This was attributed to the binder effect of [Ni(tepa)](2+), leading to changes in pore volume, pore size distribution, and interaction between cationic dye and Ni-C-N components.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Self-assembly of cyclic grafted copolymers with rigid rings and their potential as drug nanocarriers

Jianchang Xu et al.

Summary: The study explores enhancing the performance of polymer micelles by regulating their structures, comparing the self-assembly behavior of cyclic grafted copolymers with rigid and flexible rings using DPD simulation. Rigid rings provide a unique packing mechanism that leads to larger hydrophobic cores and higher stability in micelles, making them promising drug nanocarriers. Their potential in drug loading capacity and disassembly in acidic tumor microenvironments is highlighted, along with faster endocytosis kinetics compared to flexible counterparts.
