TL;DR: The present review aims to provide a brief overview of the therapeutic effects, new insights, and upcoming perspectives of Que.
Abstract: Quercetin (Que) and its derivatives are naturally occurring phytochemicals with promising bioactive effects. The antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-Alzheimer's, antiarthritic, cardiovascular, and wound-healing effects of Que have been extensively investigated, as well as its anticancer activity against different cancer cell lines has been recently reported. Que and its derivatives are found predominantly in the Western diet, and people might benefit from their protective effect just by taking them via diets or as a food supplement. Bioavailability-related drug-delivery systems of Que have also been markedly exploited, and Que nanoparticles appear as a promising platform to enhance their bioavailability. The present review aims to provide a brief overview of the therapeutic effects, new insights, and upcoming perspectives of Que.

TL;DR: In this article, the optical absorption properties of pre-processed gold nanoparticles of different shapes and sizes measured by photoacoustic (PA) method have been reported and the shape and size of these different nanoparticles were determined by STM measurements.
Abstract: We report on the optical absorption properties of as prepared gold naoparticles of different shapes and sizes measured by photoacoustic (PA) method. The gold nanoparticles of two different shapes (dots, rods) have been prepared using the seed mediated growth method. The shape and the size of these different nanoparticles were determined by STM measurements. PA spectra show the splitting of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) into two modes (transverse and longitudinal) in case of gold nanorods. The increase in the aspect ratio of the nanorods leads to clear redshifts of the longitudinal SPR. These shifts were used to determine the dielectric constant of the surrounding medium and its variation with the aspect ratios.

TL;DR: Ulastructure analysis revealed NiO-NPs translocation, nuclear condensation, abundance in peroxisomes and degenerated mitochondrial cristae, which signifies its potential to induce cell death presumably by Ni ions, triggering the mitochondrial dependent intrinsic apoptotic pathway.
