TL;DR: It is showed that exosomes exhibit diagnostic surface protein markers, reflecting the protein profile of their donor cells, in plasma from HER2-positive breast cancer patients, suggesting the diagnostic potential of these markers for breast cancer diagnostics.

TL;DR: The magnetic carbon nanoadsorbents fabricated by using cellulose and Fe(NO3)3 as the carbon and iron precursors have demonstrated great Cr(VI) removal performance as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Experimental and computational studies on the synthesis and properties of iron oxide-gold core-shell nanoparticles of three different shapes (sphere, popcorn and star) with controllable sizes and results showed that the nanopopcorns and nanostars exhibited red-shifted plasmon resonance compared with the nanospheres, with the Nanostars giving multispectral feature.

TL;DR: Current gold nanoparticle-based technology platforms for the detection of four major classes of circulating cancer markers - circulating tumor cells, vesicles, nucleic acids, and proteins are introduced.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the combined near infrared photodynamic and photothermal therapy using the silicon 2,3-naphthalocyanine dihydroxide-loaded gold nanorods exhibit superior efficacy in cancer cell destruction as compared to photodynamic therapy and phot thermal therapy alone.
