Next Phase of NIH Preprint Pilot Launching Soon
Last month, the National Library of Medicine (NLM)announced plans to extend its NIH Preprint Pilot in PubMed Central (PMC) and PubMed beyond COVID-19 to encompass all preprints reporting on NIH-funded research. The second phase of the pilot, launching later this month, will include preprints supported by an NIH award, contract, or intramural program and posted to aneligible preprint server on or after January 1, 2023.In preparation for the launch of this second phase, we have updated PMC and PubMed site features to help users of these databases incorporate the increased volume of preprints into their discovery workflows. S...

Second Phase of the NIH Preprint Pilot Launched
Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of the second phase of the NIH Preprint Pilot with the addition of more than 700 new preprint records to PubMed Central (PMC) and PubMed. This second phase expands the scope of the Pilot to include preprints resulting from all NIH-funded research. Eligible preprints are those acknowledging direct support of an NIH award or authored by NIH staff and posted to bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv, or Research Square, on or after January 1, 2023. NLM will automatically include the full text of the preprint (as license terms allow) and associated citation information in PMC and PubMed, respectiv...

Iron oxide nanoparticles decrease nuclear fractal dimension of buccal epithelial cells in a time ‐dependent manner
Summary In this paper, we present results that iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) induce time‐dependent structural changes in nuclei of buccal epithelial cells. The cells were treated with magnetite, Fe3O4 nanoparticles (spherical shape, diameter 80–100 nanometres). The digital micrographs of the nuclei were made in 3 different time points: 15, 30 and 60 min after the treatment with IONPs, as well as in the control cells. A total of 120 nuclear structures (30 per sample) were analysed. Fractal analysis of nuclei was done in ImageJ software of the National Institutes of Health, (Bethesda, MD, USA). For each nuclear struct...

UCLA researchers' smartphone 'microscope' can detect a single virus, nanoparticles
Your smartphone now can see what the naked eye cannot: A single virus and bits of material less than one-thousandth of the width of a human hair.   Aydogan Ozcan, a professor of electrical engineering and bioengineering at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, and his team have created a portable smartphone attachment that can be used to perform sophisticated field testing to detect viruses and bacteria without the need for bulky and expensive microscopes and lab equipment. The device weighs less than half a pound.   "This cellphone-based imaging platform could be used for specific and...

Phospholipid nanoparticles: Therapeutic potentials against atherosclerosis via reducing cholesterol crystals and inhibiting inflammation
EBioMedicine. 2021 Dec 5;74:103725. doi: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2021.103725. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Atherosclerosis-related cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Cholesterol crystals (CCs) induce inflammation in atherosclerosis and are associated with unstable plaques and poor prognosis, but no drug can remove CCs in the clinic currently.METHODS: We generated a phospholipid-based and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-like nanoparticle, miNano, and determined CC-dissolving capacity, cholesterol efflux property, and anti-inflammation effects of miNano in vitro. Both normal C57B...
