Journal ArticleDOI
Nano-confinement-driven enhanced magnetic relaxivity of SPIONs for targeted tumor bioimaging
TL;DR: This study engineered a bone cancer-targeted hybrid nanoconstruct (HNC) with a high transverse magnetic relaxivity of 625 mM-1 s-1, which was significantly higher than that of clinical contrast agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamics of Adsorption on Graphenic Surfaces from Aqueous Solution.
E. R. Azhagiya Singam,Yuntao Zhang,Geraldine Magnin,Ingrid Miranda-Carvajal,Logan Coates,Ravindra Thakkar,Horacio Poblete,Jeffrey Comer +7 more
TL;DR: This work uses molecular dynamics simulation, supplemented by analytical chemistry, to explore in detail the adsorption thermodynamics of a diverse set of aromatic compounds on graphenic materials, elucidating the effects of the solvent, surface coverage, surface curvature, defects, and functionalization by hydroxy groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atomically resolved interfacial water structures on crystalline hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the atomic-scale structure of interfacial water on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces was probed using 3D-AFM imaging, and it was shown that hydration layers are formed on both hydrophoric and non-hydrophilic surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell Wall Membrane Fraction of Chlorella sorokiniana Enhances Host Antitumor Immunity and Inhibits Colon Carcinoma Growth in Mice.
Susumu Ishiguro,Nicole Robben,Riley Burghart,Paige Cote,Sarah Greenway,Ravindra Thakkar,Deepa Upreti,Ayaka Nakashima,Kengo Suzuki,Jeffrey Comer,Masaaki Tamura +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the Chlorella cell wall membrane extract or a bioactive substance in the extract is an attractive complementary medicine for cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water extract from Euglena gracilis prevents lung carcinoma growth in mice by attenuation of the myeloid-derived cell population.
Susumu Ishiguro,Deepa Upreti,Nicole Robben,Riley Burghart,Mayme Loyd,Damilola Ogun,Tran Le,Jennifer Delzeit,Arashi Nakashima,Ravindra Thakkar,Ayaka Nakashima,Kengo Suzuki,Jeffrey Comer,Masaaki Tamura +13 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that EWE pretreatment inhibits lung carcinoma growth mainly by stimulating host antitumor immunity through attenuation of growth of gMDSCs and decreasing the number of peripheral granulocytes, and suggests that the partially purified extract derived from Euglena gracilis contains significant bioactive materials that prevent lung carcinomas growth.
