Mucilage ‐assisted fabrication of molybdenum trioxide nanostructures for photothermal ablation of breast cancer cells
AbstractNanostructures have been used for various biomedical applications due to their optical, antibacterial, magnetic, antioxidant, and biocompatible properties. Cancer is a prevalent disease that severely threatens human life and health. Thus, innovative and effective therapeutic approaches are urgently required for cancer. Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a promising approach to killing cancer cells. In this investigation, we developed a low-cost, simple, green technique to fabricate molybdenum trioxide nanostructures (MNs) usingOpuntia ficus-indica mucilage as a template. Moreover, the MNs were functionalized with folic ...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 40: The Mechanisms of Molybdate Distribution and Homeostasis with Special Focus on the Model Plant Arabidopsis thaliana
holdt
This review article deals with the pathways of cellular and global molybdate distribution in plants, especially with a full overview for the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. In its oxidized state as bioavailable molybdate, molybdenum can be absorbed from the environment. Especially in higher plants, molybdenum is indispensable as part of the molybdenum cofactor (Moco), which is responsible for functionality as a prosthetic group in a variety of essential enzymes like nitrate reductase and sulfite oxidase. Therefore, plants need mechanisms for molybdate import and transport within the organism, which are accompli...

Associations between metal(loid) exposure with overweight and obesity and abdominal obesity in the general population: A cross-sectional study in China
In conclusion, blood Cu, Mo, Ni, Cd, and Pb were inversely associated with the risk of OWO. The presence of blood Co may be protective, while Ni and Mo exposure might increase the risk of AOB. The association between metal (loid) exposure and obesity warrants further investigation in longitudinal cohort studies.PMID:38114022 | DOI:10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140963 (Source: Chemosphere)

Association Between Combined Polymetallic Exposure and Osteoporosis
This study aimed to explore the association between polymetallic combined exposure and osteoporosis. A total of 2115 participants were included. Plasma concentrations of 22 metals were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Osteoporosis was defined as a T ≤ - 2.5. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, binary logistics regression, and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) model were used to explore the association between plasma metals and osteoporosis. LASSO regression showed that 10 metals were associated with osteoporosis in the total population (magnesium, cal...

Comparative study on the occurrence of adverse effects in the concomitant use of azathioprine and aldehyde oxidase inhibitors
CONCLUSION: Concomitant use of AO inhibitors increased the signals for AZA-induced adverse effects. To date, no studies have evaluated the clinical importance of AO as a drug-metabolizing enzyme, and further in vitro and clinical research is needed to clarify the contribution of AO to the pharmacokinetics of thiopurines.PMID:38097359 | DOI:10.1080/14740338.2023.2295976 (Source: Expert Opinion on Drug Safety)
