Article Abstract
Inspired by the active site structure of natural horseradish peroxidase having iron as a pivotal element with coordinated histidine residues, we have developed histidine coated magnetic nanoparticles (His@MNPs) with relatively uniform and small sizes (less than 10 nm) through one-pot heat treatment. In comparison to pristine MNPs and other amino acid coated MNPs, His@MNPs exhibited a considerably enhanced peroxidase-imitating activity, approaching 10-fold higher in catalytic reactions. With the high activity, His@MNPs then were exploited to detect the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine. By coupling choline oxidase and acetylcholine esterase with His@MNPs as peroxidase mimics, target choline and acetylcholine were successfully detected via fluorescent mode with high specificity and sensitivity with the limits of detection down to 200 and 100 nM, respectively. The diagnostic capability of the method is demonstrated by analyzing acetylcholine in human blood serum. This study thus demonstrates the potential of utilizing His@MNPs as peroxidase-mimicking nanozymes for detecting important biological and clinical targets with high sensitivity and reliability.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) is a highly aggressive liver cancer with poor prognosis, limited treatment options, and high mortality rates, making it a serious global health concern that demands urgent development of more effective and safer therapeutic approaches. In this context, the present study focuses on the green synthesis of SrO2 nanoparticles using Clitoria ternatea flower extract, followed by surface modification with Pluronic F127 (PF127) and L-histidine (LH), to fabricate SrO2-PF127-LH nanocomposites aimed at evaluating their potential anticancer efficacy against the HepG2 cell line. Various analytical techniques were used to characterize the nanocomposite, and then their anticancer activity against HePG2 liver cancer cells, antioxidant properties, and antimicrobial activity against the bacteria mentioned above were evaluated.

Societies continue to face the urgent challenge of developing effective, safe, and stable nanoparticles with promising biomedical applications. Herein, the present study synthesis chitosan and L-Histidine dually coated titanium dioxide (TiCSLH) nanocomposite (NC) by chemical co-precipitation method. The antimicrobial performance of TiO₂ nanoparticles is closely linked to their physicochemical properties, such as reduced particle size, increased bandgap, and the presence of oxygen vacancies, all of which collectively enhance reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and inhibit microbial growth.

The detection of methyl parathion (MP) is of critical importance due to its high toxicity and widespread use as an organophosphate pesticide. Therefore, the monitoring and the rapid quantification of MP are essential for ensuring food safety and promoting sustainable farming practices, which minimize potential health risks to consumers. Effective detection strategies can aid in reducing exposure and mitigating the impact on human health and ecosystems.

The efficacy of checkpoint blockade immunotherapy for glioblastoma (GBM) is significantly influenced by the precise delivery of therapeutic agents that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and reprogram the tumor immune microenvironment. Conventional nanoscale carriers used for delivering immune checkpoint blockers are more likely to be internalized by tumor cells, leading to a loss of drug efficacy. This study presents a phosphatidylcholine (PC)-coated nanoparticle (PCNP) with an optimized PC ratio on its surface, achieving a balanced surface charge.
