Recently, Mn(II)-based T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) have been explored widely for cancer diagnosis. However, the "always-on" properties and poor excretability of the conventional Mn(II)-based CAs leads to high background signals and

We synthesize a NIR MHI-148 dye, a lipophilic heptamethine cyanine, with capability in tumor-targeting property to accumulate in the mitochondria of tumor. In the context of MHI-148 dye, we demonstrate effective tumor targeting and NIR fluorescence in vitro and in vivo for MHI-148 as compared to

Purpose: Different compositions of copper oxide (CuO)-doped calcium silicate clusters were used to treat the cancer cells. Methods: The influence of CuO content on the morphology, drug delivering ability, physicochemical properties and cytotoxicity was investigated. Results: The

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probes can be concentrated in tumors through grafting targeting agents. However, the clinical application of such targeted MRI probes is largely limited because specific agents are only used to target specific characteristics of cancer cells. The development of the

Great efforts have been devoted to exploiting silicate bioceramics for various applications in soft tissue regeneration, owing to their excellent bioactivity. Based on the inherent ability of silicate bioceramics to repair tissue, bioactive ions are easily incorporated into silicate bioceramics to

Gd³⁺-based contrast agents monopolize in the clinical MR imaging-based diagnosis of hepatic tumors, however, the inherent toxicity by the released Gd³⁺-ions triggered an urgent demand for safer alternatives. Here, we demonstrate hollow manganese silicate nanoparticles (HMS),

Ferroptosis, an iron-based cell death pathway, has recently attracted great attention owing to its effectiveness in killing cancer cells. Previous investigations focused on the development of iron-based nanomaterials to induce ferroptosis in cancer cells by the upregulation of reactive oxygen

Resulting from their versatile functionality, nanomaterials with low systemic toxicity have offered high-performance diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities. Here, we designed and synthesized uniform magnesium silicate hollow spheres as high drug-loading nanocarriers for cancer therapy. Through a

Embolization of vascular tumors is an important tool in minimally invasive surgical intervention. Radiopaque, non-degradable, and non-deformable spherical zinc-silicate glass particles were produced in a range of 45-500 μm. Three size ranges (45-150, 150-300, and 300-500 μm) were used in the current

OBJECTIVE Calcium silicate (CS) cements have excellent bioactivity and can induce the bone-like apatite formation. They are good biomaterials for bone tissue engineering and bone regenerative medicine. However, they have degradability and the dissolved CS can cause the inflammatory response at the

This report reviews the safety of Aluminum, Calcium, Lithium Magnesium, Lithium Magnesium Sodium, Magnesium Aluminum, Magnesium, Sodium Magnesium, and Zirconium Silicates, Magnesium Trisilicate, Attapulgite, Bentonite, Fuller's Earth, Hectorite, Kaolin, Montmorillonite, Pyrophyllite, and Zeolite as

Contrast agents (CAs) play an important role in enhancing the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performance for accurate tumor diagnosis, which, however, may give rise to unexceptional issues such as in vivo accumulation and bio-toxicity. Here we report on manganese silicate nanoparticles (denoted as

Hinokitiol is a tropolone-related compound found in heartwood cupressaceous plants. Hinokitiol slows the growth of a variety of cancers through inhibition of cell proliferation. The low water solubility of hinokitiol leads to less bioavailability. This has been highlighted as a major limiting

Although etiological diagnosis represent a major issue in occupational health, it is frequently difficult to achieve because of the concurrent effect of a multitude of both work-related and non-work-related pathogenic factors. A construction worker, exposed for over 20 years to silica and silicate
