Synthesis and Characterization of Pyrogallol Silver Nanoparticles and Pyrogallol Nanocomposites and Their Effects on Radiation-Induced Toxicity in HEK293 Cells

Academic Background Cancer is a complex and highly prevalent disease worldwide, causing nearly 10 million deaths annually. Early diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for improving patient survival rates. Current cancer treatment modalities include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy. Among these, radiotherapy is a critic...

Magnetite Nanoparticles as Metastable Biogeobatteries in Consecutive Redox Cycles

Iron (Fe) is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, widely present in soils and sediments, and participates in global carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen cycles. The redox reactions of iron play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in the processes of iron oxidation and reduction. Iron minerals, especially mixed-valent iron minerals ...
