Osteoporosis is a pathological condition characterized by an accelerated bone resorption
rate, resulting in decreased bone density and increased susceptibility to fractures …

Osteoporosis, a chronic metabolic bone disease, is the most common cause of fractures.
Drugs for treating osteoporosis generally inhibit osteoclast (OC) activity, but are rarely aimed …

Rationale: To meet the need of long-acting analgesia in postoperative pain management,
slow-releasing formulations of local anesthetics (LAs) have been extensively investigated …

The Ce4+↔ Ce3+ redox switch is at the basis of an all-inorganic catalytic cycle that is
capable of mimicking the activity of several natural redox enzymes. The efficiency of these …

X-ray lithography has been first proposed almost 50 years ago, and the related LIGA
process around 25 years ago. It is therefore a good time to make an analysis of the …

Mesoporous ordered materials, whose porosity is within the 2–50-nm range, are an ideal
host for functional nanoparticles. Mesoporous thin films, in particular, offer a large variety of …

Ceria nanoparticles with controlled size have been studied as antioxidant agents for the in
vitro protection of catecholaminergic cells (PC12) exposed to manganese, which is …

The new revolution in materials science is being driven by our ability to manipulate matter at
the molecular level to create structures with novel functions and properties. The aim of this …

The process of dimerization of rhodamine 6G at high concentrations in solution and when
incorporated in a solid state matrix is well known but the dimer response to photodegration …

Silica mesoporous nanocomposite films containing graphene nanosheets and gold
nanoparticles have been prepared via a one-pot synthesis using silicon tetrachloride, gold …
