Graphene oxide and its nanocomposites with EDTA or chitosan induce apoptosis in MCF-7 human breast cancer.

RSC advances
To achieve the advanced anticancer activity of nanocomposites fabricated with graphene oxide (GO), a novel procedure was used during the fabrication of chitosan (CS) or ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA). The synthesized GO-based nanocomposite...

Benzo[]thiazole-2-thiol bearing 2-oxo-2-substituted-phenylethan-1-yl as potent selective quorum sensing inhibitors of Gram-negative bacteria.

RSC advances
Quorum sensing is a well-known term for describing bacterial cell-cell communication. Bacteria use quorum sensing pathways to respond to external factors such as nutrient availability, defense mechanisms, and coordinate host toxic behaviors such as b...

Fabrication of patterned calcium carbonate materials through template-assisted microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation.

RSC advances
Patterned calcium carbonate materials with controlled morphologies have broad applications in both environmental and engineering fields. However, how to fabricate such materials through environmental-friendly methods under ambient conditions is still...

Emergent antibacterial activity of -(thiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamides in conjunction with cell-penetrating octaarginine.

RSC advances
Hybrid antimicrobials that combine the effect of two or more agents represent a promising antibacterial therapeutic strategy. In this work, we have synthesized -(4-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)-5-phenylthiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives that co...

Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of silver-decorated zinc ferrite nanoparticles synthesized by a gamma irradiation-coupled sol-gel method against some pathogenic bacteria from medical operating room surfaces.

RSC advances
This work aimed at the gamma irradiation-assisted synthesis of silver (Ag)-decorated ZnFeO (ZFO) ferrite nanoparticles (NPs), which were tested for their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against some pathogenic bacteria from medical operating...

Development of a gold-nanorod-based lateral flow immunoassay for a fast and dual-modal detection of C-reactive protein in clinical plasma samples.

RSC advances
Fast and simple detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) is highly significant for the diagnosis and prognosis of inflammatory or infectious diseases. Lateral flow immunoassay has the advantages of rapid detection, simple operation and low cost, but it ...

Sub-nanograin metal based high efficiency multilayer reflective optics for high energies.

RSC advances
The present finding illuminates the physics of the formation of interfaces of metal based hetero-structures near layer continuous limit as an approach to develop high-efficiency W/BC multilayer (ML) optics with ML periodicity varying = 1.86-1.23 nm ...

A new G-triplex-based strategy for sensitivity enhancement of the detection of endonuclease activity and inhibition.

RSC advances
EcoRI is an important biomacromolecule in live cells and protects bacterial cells against foreign DNA. In this work, we developed a simple and convenient G-triplex (G3) (5'-TGGGAAGGGAGGGAATTCCCT-3')-based colorimetric assay for the rapid and selectiv...

Performance and mechanisms for V(v) bio-reduction by straw: key influencing factors.

RSC advances
A high concentration of vanadium [V(v)] in groundwater is extremely harmful for humans. Weak movability and low toxicity after microbial V(v) reduction have attracted remarkable attention, especially for using solid carbon sources. However, the influ...

Silver/silver halide supported on mesoporous ceria particles and photo-CWPO degradation under visible light for organic compounds in acrylonitrile wastewater.

RSC advances
Silver/silver halide supported on ordered mesoporous ceria particles (Ag/AgCl/CeO) were rapidly prepared by microwave-assisted soft template method, deposition precipitation method and photoreduction method, using cerium nitrate and silver nitrate as...
