    Abstract Purpose: In this work for the first time, we showed specific and direct knockdown of important oncogenic proteins of interest and their phospho-PTM targets in tripartite motif containing-21 (TRIM21) overexpressing breast cancer (BC) cells. We revealed the functional and therapeutic consequences of this protein knockdown approach called 'TRIM-ing'.
    Methods: To target HER2, HER3, STAT3 or their activated forms, electroporation and puls-in transfection were standardized for mAb delivery in AU565 and MCF7 BC cell lines. Cancer cells were treated with HER2-targeted medicines (Trastuzumab and Neratinib) or STAT3 targeted inhibitors (Stattic and Niclosamide) with or without respective target TRIM-ing. Real-time PCR, immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, cytotoxicity, short- and long-term cell survival assessments were done following standard methodologies. 3-D structure modelling was used to verify the binding of mAb onto the STAT3 target.
    Results: TRIM-ing of HER2 or HER3 receptors or their activated phospho-forms in BC cells showed rapid degradation of respective protein forms, shattering down the downstream signaling (p-ERK, p-AKT) that lasts for up to 7-8 days. This significantly inhibited BC survival (p < 0.001), showing a synergistic therapeutic effect with HER2 medicine trastuzumab or neratinib. Additionally, specific TRIM-ing ability of canonical pY705 or non-canonical pS727 PTMs of STAT3 protein was demonstrated in MCF7 cells, causing significant cytotoxicity (p < 0.05). TRIM-ing of STAT3 PTM, when combined with the same PTM-specific inhibitors, a synergistic treatment effect was observed.
    Conclusion: The work demonstrated that TRIM-ing could directly reduce various oncogenic targets or their specific activated form inside the cancer cells without compensatory pathway activation, a conundrum limiting the therapeutic benefit of current personalized medicines.

    Abstract Introduction: This study aims to report a retrospective observation of the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) and quality of root canal treatment in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans among the Mid-West Indian population.
    Materials and methods: A total of 1229 CBCT scans were obtained across different CBCT centers in western India. After the exclusion criteria, those that were included were divided into broadly two groups - those that were filled and those that were unfilled. Various parameters were taken into account such as AP, length of the root canal filled, and coronal filling.
    Results: There were a significantly higher percentage of nonfilled canals. Poor filling quality, inadequate coronal restoration, and also missed extra canal were significantly associated with AP. Both males and females showed higher presence of AP in the nonfilled teeth than filled ones (X2 - Chi square value M = 612.156,
    Conclusion: (1) The inadequacy of the filling of the root length was a contributory factor to the higher prevalence of AP among the study population. (2) The density of the filling and the quality of the coronal filling also significantly affected the successful outcome of the root canal treatment.

    Abstract The use of plasma processes in nanomaterial synthesis is limited by a lack of understanding of the effects of plasma treatment on the morphology and other properties. Here, we studied the effects of atmospheric plasma treatment on the morphology and optical properties of Ag nanoparticles. The Ag nanoparticles were deposited on substrates by injecting an aerosol into flowing argon gas and then treated with a low-temperature atmospheric plasma jet. After plasma treatment, the mean Ag nanoparticle diameter reduced to an average of 5 nm, which was accompanied by a blue shift of ∼70 nm in the peak of the surface plasmon resonance; these results are similar to those obtained by thermal treatment at elevated temperatures. The reduction in nanoparticle size is explained by the redox reaction that occurs on the nanoparticle surface, which is evident from the presence of AgO and Ag

    Abstract Biosensors are emerging as efficient (sensitive and selective) and affordable analytical diagnostic tools for early-stage disease detection, as required for personalized health wellness management. Low-level detection of a targeted disease biomarker (pM level) has emerged extremely useful to evaluate the progression of disease under therapy. Such collected bioinformatics and its multi-aspects-oriented analytics is in demand to explore the effectiveness of a prescribed treatment, optimize therapy, and correlate biomarker level with disease pathogenesis. Owing to nanotechnology-enabled advancements in sensing unit fabrication, device integration, interfacing, packaging, and sensing performance at point-of-care (POC) has rendered diagnostics according to the requirements of disease management and patient disease profile i.e. in a personalized manner. Efforts are continuously being made to promote the state of art biosensing technology as a next-generation non-invasive disease diagnostics methodology. Keeping this in view, this progressive opinion article describes personalized health care management related analytical tools which can provide access to better health for everyone, with overreaching aim to manage healthy tomorrow timely. Considering accomplishments and predictions, such affordable intelligent diagnostics tools are urgently required to manage COVID-19 pandemic, a life-threatening respiratory infectious disease, where a rapid, selective and sensitive detection of human beta severe acute respiratory system coronavirus (SARS-COoV-2) protein is the key factor.

    Abstract The increasing demands of environmentally sustainable, affordable, and scalable materials have inspired researchers to explore greener nanosystems of unique properties which can enhance the performance of existing systems. Such nanosystems, extracted from nature, are state-of-art high-performance nanostructures due to intrinsic hierarchical micro/nanoscale architecture and generous interfacial interactions in natural resources. Among several, bio-inspired graphene nanosystems have emerged as an essential nano-platform wherein a highly electroactive, scalable, functional, flexible, and adaptable to a living being is a key factor. Preliminary investigation project bio-inspired graphene nanosystems as a multi-functional nano-platform suitable for electronic devices, energy storage, sensors, and medical sciences application. However, a broad understanding of bio-inspired graphene nanosystems and their projection towards applied application is not well-explored yet. Considering this as a motivation, this mini-review highlights the following; the emergence of bio-inspired graphene nanosystems, over time development to make them more efficient, state-of-art technology, and potential applications, mainly biomedical including biosensors, drug delivery, imaging, and biomedical systems. The outcomes of this review will certainly serve as a guideline to motivate scholars to design and develop novel bio-inspired graphene nanosystems to develop greener, affordable, and scalable next-generation biomedical systems.
