Cancer is a major cause of mortality in the modern world, with more than 10 million new cases every year. This out-line is expected to rise in the next few decades since the majority (59%) of peo-ple diagnosed with cancer is aged over 65. In fact, around one in three people will be diagnosed with cancer throughout the…

We demonstrated the layer-by-layer synthesis of γ-Fe2O3@SnO2@C porous core-shell nanorods. FeOOH nanorods were first synthesized via a hydrothermal process, and acted as a template for subsequent layer-by-layer deposition. It was indicated that the electrostatic attraction between the charged species may play the key…

Monomeric hIAPP significantly destabilizes both model and live cell membranes by increasing membrane fluidity. This interaction with membranes happens via carpet formation followed by lipid extraction in a concentration dependent manner and thus we propose that hIAPP aggregation prior to membrane interaction may not b…
