Presently, there are diverse methods for diagnosing and treating tumors in clinical. However, real-time monitoring of the distribution of tumor cells within the body and precise tumor eradication remains a challenge. Recently, with the advancement of nanotechnology, the utilization of nanoparticle has enabled real-time monitoring of tumor cells migration and distribution within the body, as well as controlled and sustained drug release tailored to the specific tumor microenvironment (TME). This achievement has facilitated precise tumor eradication. Among various nanoparticle, graphene oxide (GO) boasts a substantial-specific surface area, which not only allows efficient drug loading but also effectively quenches the fluorescence signal of diagnostic molecules. When GO reaches the tumor tissue, the high concentration of glutathione (GSH) in the tumor environment reduces GO into reduced graphene oxide (rGO). This reduction triggers the release of fluorescent diagnostic molecules from its surface, leading to the restoration of their fluorescence signal and enabling timely tumor diagnosis. Furthermore, GO possesses strong near-infrared absorption and thermal conductivity properties. Hence, utilizing GO-based photothermal therapy, in addition to leverage its excellent photothermal conversion efficiency for direct tumor cells ablation, it achieves precise and sustained drug release based on the specific TME. Exploiting the distinctive biological properties of GO, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research and related progress in the utilization of GO as a carrier for drugs and diagnostic agents in the realms of tumor diagnosis and precision treatment. First, we describe the biochemistry of GO and its application as a fluorescence quencher in tumor diagnosis. Second, capitalizing on GO's substantial surface area and environment-responsive attributes, we delve into the research progress of GO in tumor treatment. Finally, we summarize GO's biocompatibility as a drug carrier for tumor diagnosis and treatment while also discussing its future prospects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":471,"journal":{"name":"Applied Nanoscience","volume":"14 2","pages":"411 - 421"},"PeriodicalIF":3.674,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139093888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The genetic material and epidemiology of viral antigen, help in redefining standard drugs along with nanocarriers to achieve more feasible and hour-based approach. The main goal of this review is to elaborate on the repurposing of existing standard antiviral drugs and ways to accelerate their mode of action to promote a feasible and hour-based approach. The consolidated three-dimensional approaches aimed at sustained, targeted and optimized levels of drug concentration in the circulating system along with bioactive nanocarriers which could effectively pass the cell membrane were reported.

This gas is highly inflammable, poisonous, explosive, and hazardous, and it creates several health issues when inhaled. Thus, its leakage detection is of the utmost importance. There are several sensors used for LPG detection, but they have a high operating temperature; therefore, developing sensors that work at normal temperatures has always been a challenge. This paper describes the synthesis of bismuth (Bi)-doped Praseodymium orthoferrite (PrFeO₃) nanomaterials by the sol–gel self-combustion technique and their application in LPG detection. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). PXRD reveals that the synthesized nanomaterial has an orthorhombic structure with the Pbnm space group, and the crystallite size (D) changes from 30 to 41 nm. FESEM was used for the analysis of surface morphology. BET analysis reveals the mesoporous nature of synthesized nanomaterials with a 16.331 to 37.645 m²g⁻¹ specific surface area. UV–Vis spectroscopy affirms the optical energy band gap lying between 2.27 and 1.95 eV. The FTIR study represents the existence of different functional groups and their lattice vibration. Synthesized nanomaterials were explored as an LPG detector working at room temperature for the first time. Different sensing parameters have been evaluated. The gas sensing studies reveal that the response and recovery times are 15.3 and 22.4 s for 0.5 vol% of LPG, and the sensor shows high selectivity towards LPG. This study reveals that the designed sensor is capable of working at room temperature, and the synthesized nanomaterials are promising for LPG sensing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":471,"journal":{"name":"Applied Nanoscience","volume":"14 2","pages":"277 - 289"},"PeriodicalIF":3.674,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138517134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These investigations were conducted through molecular dynamics simulations using the large-scale atomic/molecular massively parallel simulator (LAMMPS). It is observed that longer CNTs tend to exhibit heightened thermal conductivity, a consequence of the increased support for phonon vibration modes that facilitate efficient thermal transport. Furthermore, CNTs with larger diameters display superior thermal characteristics owing to reduced phonon scattering effects. The introduction of boron doping reduces CNTs thermal conductivity by approximately 3% with the inclusion of 6% boron atoms, whereas nitrogen doping increases it by a similar margin. These doping effects hold great potential for optimizing the performance of MEMS and NEMS devices. This duality in doping offers a versatile means to fine-tune the thermal conductivity of CNTs, enabling effective heat management in micro/nanodevices. By strategically modulating thermal conductivity, we can optimize the heat transfer properties of CNT-based materials and devices. This optimization is of utmost importance in ensuring efficient heat dissipation and averting thermal-induced issues, such as overheating, performance degradation, or failure. Additionally, this paper explores how vacancy defects impact the thermal conductivity of CNTs. By varying the vacancy concentration from 1 to 6%, a decrease in thermal conductivity of approximately 2% to 4% was observed in both SWCNTs and DWCNTs. These results emphasize the pivotal role of defects in perturbing the efficient phonon transport mechanisms in CNTs and suggest the potential for customizing CNTs with specific defect concentrations to enhance their suitability for thermoelectric devices and thermal insulation materials.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":471,"journal":{"name":"Applied Nanoscience","volume":"14 2","pages":"339 - 351"},"PeriodicalIF":3.674,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138517121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
