Quantum dots (QDs) are inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals capable of emitting light. The current major challenge lies in the use of heavy metals, which are known to be highly toxic to humans and pose significant environmental risks. Researchers have turned to indium (In) as a promising option for more environmentally benign QDs, specifically indi...
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) activates the complement system lectin pathway and subsequent inflammatory mechanisms. The incidence and outcome of many human diseases, such as brain ischemia and infections, are associated with and influenced by the activity and serum concentrations of MBL in body fluids. To quantify MBL levels, tests based on ELISA a...
The development of catalysts for controlled fragmentation of proteins is a critical undertaking in modern proteomics and biotechnology. {Zr6O8}-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising candidates for catalysis of peptide bond hydrolysis due to their high reactivity, stability, and recyclability. However, emerging evidence sug...

The removal of formaldehyde (FA) is vital for indoor air quality management in light of its carcinogenic propensity and adverse environmental impact. A series of copper manganite spinel structures (e.g., CuMn2O4) are prepared using the sol-gel combustion method and treated with reduction or oxidation pretreatment at 300 °C condition. Accordingly, C...

The use and implementation of nanocrystals (NCs) are highly dependent on the development of robust strategies capable of delivering high-quality NCs in the form of stable colloids. In particular, oxide perovskites offer numerous chemical structures and physical properties that are highly interesting for material science. This work explores a synthe...
