TL;DR: Paper-induced aggregation of AgNPs was found to be a viable alternative to the classical salt- induced aggregation, to obtain a highly sensitive SERS substrates.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the attempts made so far by several authors on this important topic and showed that these hybrid materials can have improved activity and selectivity and are potential choice candidates for several catalytic processes.

TL;DR: Epiisopiloturine was encapsulated in acetylated cashew gum nanoparticles in order to increase solubility and allow slow release, whereas the morphology results were supported by computer simulations, and showed drug incorporation at high levels, up to 55% efficiency.

TL;DR: It is found that the larger 60 nm AuNPs, both nanospheres and nanostars, are apparently less toxic than their smaller counter parts.

TL;DR: Two strip lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA), based on the detection of specific IgM anti-P.
