TL;DR: Nut-Mag-SLNs represent a promising multifunctional nanoplatform for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme and showed good colloidal stability, the ability to cross an in vitro blood–brain barrier model, and a superior pro-apoptotic activity toward gliOBlastoma cells with respect to the free drug.

TL;DR: In this paper, anodic aluminum oxide was anodized in mixtures of aqueous sulfuric and chromic acid in different ratios, with an overall concentration of 1.0 mM, and it was found that the logarithm of current density is a square function of the anodizing voltage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used magnetic force microscopy and magnetization data to demonstrate the finite size effect of the magnetic spins and their casting behavior due to the introduction of copper ions in the tetrahedral magnetic sub-lattices, which results in tetragonal distortion.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates that the confinement of magnetic nanoparticles into a submicrometric cavity is a key strategy to enable a certain degree of nanoparticle motion and minimize aggregation effects, consequently preserving the magnetic heat loss of iron oxide nanocubes (IONCs) under different conditions, including intracellular environments.

TL;DR: The obtained results demonstrated that such NCs can be used in a variety of applications including medical, pharmaceutical recipients and in household products for treating or preventing microbial colonization and biofilm development.
