    Abstract Nanotechnology is in the spotlight of therapeutic innovation, with numerous advantages for tumor visualization and eradication. The end goal of the therapeutic use of nanoparticles, however, remains distant due to the limitations of nanoparticles to target cancer tissue. The functionalization of nanosystem surfaces with biological ligands is a major strategy for directing the actions of nanomaterials specifically to tumor cells. Cancer formation and metastasis are accompanied by profound alterations in protein glycosylation. Hence, the detection and targeting of aberrant glycans are of great value in cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this review, we provide a brief update on recent progress targeting aberrant glycosylation by functionalizing nanoparticles with glycan-binding molecules (with a special focus on lectins and anti-glycan antibodies) to improve the efficacy of nanoparticles in cancer targeting, diagnosis, and therapy and outline the challenges and limitations in implementing this approach. We envision that the combination of nanotechnological strategies and cancer-associated glycan targeting could remodel the field of cancer diagnosis and therapy, including immunotherapy.

    Abstract Polyaniline (PANI)-materials have recently been proposed for environmental remediation applications thanks to PANI stability and sorption properties. As an alternative to conventional PANI oxidative syntheses, which involve toxic carcinogenic compounds, an eco-friendly procedure was here adopted starting from benign reactants (aniline-dimer and H 2 O 2 ) and initiated by ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated TiO 2 . To unlock the full potential of this procedure, we investigated the roles of TiO 2 and H 2 O 2 in the nanocomposites synthesis, with the aim of tailoring the properties of the final material to the desired application. The nanocomposites prepared by varying the TiO 2 :H 2 O 2 :aniline-dimer molar ratios were characterized for their thermal, optical, morphological, structural and surface properties. The reaction mechanism was investigated via mass analyses and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The nanocomposites were tested on both methyl orange and hexavalent chromium removal. A fast dye-sorption was achieved also in the presence of interferents and the recovery of the dye was obtained upon eco-friendly conditions. An efficient Cr(VI) abatement was obtained also after consecutive tests and without any regeneration treatment. The fine understanding of the reaction mechanism allowed us to interpret the pollutant-removal performances of the different materials, leading to tailored nanocomposites in terms of maximum sorption and reduction capability upon consecutive tests even in simulated drinking water.

    Abstract Upon addition of gold to silicalite-1 pellets (a MFI-type zeolite), the vapor phase oxidation of ethanol could be addressed to acetaldehyde or acetic acid formation. By optimizing the catalyst composition and reaction conditions, the conversion of ethanol could be tuned to acetaldehyde with 97% selectivity at 71% conversion or to acetic acid with 78% selectivity at total conversion. Considering that unloaded silicalite-1 was found to catalyze the dehydration of ethanol to diethylether or ethene, a green approach for the integrated production of four important chemicals is herein presented. This is based on renewable ethanol as a reagent and a modular catalytic process.

    Abstract An environmentally benign procedure for the preparation of polyaniline/TiO2 composites is presented. The UV irradiation-induced synthesis leads to materials with good crystallinity and tailored morphology, showing promising sorption and recycle properties in dye removal tests. A reaction mechanism is proposed on the basis of LC-MS and FT-IR investigations.

    Abstract Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been intensively investigated in virtue of their optical and antimicrobial properties, although their applications have been limited due to inherent toxicity and to the need of employing harsh chemical reagents for the synthesis. In this work, ulvan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from green algae belonging to Ulva armoricana sp., was for the first time investigated and identified as reducing and stabilizing agent for AgNPs synthesis by using milder conditions than those conventionally adopted by chemical methods. The synthesized AgNPs were thoroughly characterized to highlight the structure and the role exerted by ulvan in their synthesis and stabilization. The formation of AgNPs stabilized by a thick ulvan shell was assessed by UV–vis, XRD, TEM, DLS and zeta potential analyses. The developed Ulvan based AgNps showed an IC50 in the range of 10 μg/ml in Balb/3T3 mouse embryo fibroblasts and antimicrobial activity toward both Gram + and Gram − bacteria.
