TL;DR: In this article, the mechanism of thermal degradation of substituted polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) cages is studied in both inert atmosphere and in air, and the results show that Isobutyl and octyl substituted POSS undergo an almost complete evaporation when heated in inert atmosphere.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested the hypothesis that high zinc concentration can affect leaf anatomy and physiology of Populus alba cv. Plants were supplemented or not with 300mg zinc per kg of soil and grown for six months.

TL;DR: A synthetic method for increasing and controlling the iron loading of synthetic melanin nanoparticles is described and the resulting materials are used to perform a systematic quantitative investigation on their structure-property relationship.

TL;DR: Test the effectiveness of PLGA-NP loaded with the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)35-55 autoantigen and recombinant (r) IL-10 to inverse vaccinate mice with EAE and suggest that subcutaneous PL GA-NP- NP-based inverse vaccination may be an effective tool to treat autoimmune diseases.

TL;DR: Interestingly, shape-dependent behavior is observed in terms of the particles' interactions with HeLa cells, with CMN exhibiting enhanced uptake and contrast via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared with SMN, suggesting that control over soft nanoparticle shape will provide an avenue for optimization of particle-based contrast agents as biodiagnostics.
