BUFFALO, NY - November 10, 2025 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget (Volume 16) on November 6, 2025, titled “Anti-DNA virus agent cidofovir - loaded green synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles (Nanoceria): Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) binding affinity and cytotoxicity effects.” In this study, led by Nahid Shahabadi from Razi University in Kermanshah, researchers developed an environmentally friendly approach to enhance the performance of cidofovir, a drug used to treat infections caused by DNA viruses. The work responds to the growing need for therapies that are safer, more effective, and better targeted. The research team developed a new compound by loading cidofovir onto green-synthesized cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria), known as CDV-CeO2 NPs. This method combines the drug's antiviral and anticancer properties with the biological activity of nanoceria, which is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and tumor-targeting effects. To avoid toxic chemicals, the nanoparticles were synthesized using quince fruit peel extract, making the process more sustainable and suitable for medical applications. Laboratory experiments showed that the CDV-CeO2 nanoparticles were significantly more effective at killing breast cancer cells than either cidofovir or cerium oxide nanoparticles alone. At the highest tested concentration, the new compound destroyed more than 97% of cancer cells, compared to 72% with cidofovir alone and 50% with nanoparticles alone. These findings suggest that the combined formulation enhances anticancer activity and may allow for lower drug doses with fewer side effects. To understand how these nanoparticles interact with genetic material, the team studied their binding to DNA and RNA, two key molecules involved in cancer development and viral replication. CDV-CeO2 nanoparticles showed strong binding affinity through two mechanisms: groove binding, which fits into natural curves of the genetic molecule strands, and intercalation, which inserts between base pairs. The nanoparticles formed stable complexes that responded to temperature, indicating reliable interactions in biological systems. “The novelty of this work lies in the innovative green synthesis method, the dual-functional therapeutic application, and the enhanced biological activity of the CDV-CeO2 NPs, which collectively position these nanoparticles as promising candidates for future cancer and antiviral therapies.” This research presents a potential new strategy for improving drug targeting and delivery using green nanotechnology. The approach could lead to more effective treatments for diseases such as breast cancer and infections caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and other DNA viruses. However, further research, including animal and clinical studies, is needed to confirm the safety and long-term effectiveness of this treatment. Overall, this study represents a significant step toward combining natural materials with nanomedicine to create more efficient therapies. If supported by future research, CDV-CeO2 nanoparticles could offer a new generation of dual-action treatments.

Welcome back to The Nikki & Brie Show! In this episode, the twins dive into the sweet details of their Halloween. They recap trick-or-treating chaos—from the annual parental hustle of getting the kids into costumes to next-level neighborhood Halloween setups (popcorn machines, Dodger games, and wine tables?!). Brie shares some thoughtful tips on how to discard old costumes and pumpkins in eco-friendly ways, and reflects on the bittersweet sendoff to her season as Buddy's soccer coach.Nikki opens up about her latest Monday Night RAW match alongside Stephanie Vaquer and the momentum of her WWE comeback. With the Bella Army out in full force and her intensity on the rise (thanks to some coaching from Bryan!), she's more fired up than ever, even if after a in-ring defeat. The twins also share their go-to post-match rituals. Hint: they involve tiger balm, hotel room service, and sometimes wine in the shower. Priorities, of course.Then it's time for “Hold the L”, a hilarious new game where seemingly perfect scenarios take a wild turn and the twins have to decide whether to take the loss or walk away with their pride intact. It's petty, playful, and will make you bust out laughing. Brie drops a quote from Paulo Coelho that might become your new daily mantra, while Nikki has some empowering words for all the baddies.

In this final episode of the season, I get to sit down with the one and only Vern Yip—yes, that Vern Yip! You probably know him from his trailblazing days on design television, but today he joins me to talk about his beautiful new book, Color, Pattern, Texture. We dive into everything from the deeply personal story of a scroll his mother carried while fleeing communist China, to how he uses those kinds of meaningful objects as the foundation for timeless design. Vern shares why starting with what matters most to you—not trends—creates homes that are layered, enduring, and uniquely yours. We look closely at some of the spaces from his book, break down why they work, and talk about the emotional side of design: how a room can tell your story, reflect who you are, and even help you step into who you want to become.

ऐसा तरीका जो पर्यावरण के अनुकूल हो।En: But this time he had thought of celebrating the festival a little differently - in a way that would be environmentally friendly.Hi: एक शाम, जब पूरा परिवार खेत के बड़े बरामदे में इकट्ठा हुआ, अर्जुन ने एक छोटी बैठक बुलाई।En: One evening, when the whole family gathered in the big verandah of the field, Arjun called for a small meeting.Hi: उसका दिल थोड़ा धड़क रहा था, क्योंकि वह जानता था कि पिता, रवि, उसकी बातों से सहमत नहीं होंगे।En: His heart was beating a little fast because he knew his father, Ravi, would not agree with what he had to say.Hi: "मैं चाहता हूँ कि इस बार दिवाली को थोड़ा अलग तरह से मनाएँ," अर्जुन ने अपनी बात शुरू की।En: "I want us to celebrate this Diwali a little differently," Arjun began.Hi: "हमें नियम अपनाना चाहिए जो पर्यावरण का ख्याल रखें।En: "We should adopt practices that are mindful of the environment."Hi: "रवि ने भौंहें चढ़ाईं, "कैसा नियम, अर्जुन?En: Ravi raised his eyebrows, "What kind of practices, Arjun?"Hi: ""हम इस बार प्लास्टिक की सजावट नहीं करेंगे," अर्जुन ने समझाने की कोशिश की।En: "This time, we won't use plastic decorations," Arjun tried to explain.Hi: "इसके बजाय, हम कागज और प्राकृतिक सामग्री का इस्तेमाल करेंगे।En: "Instead, we will use paper and natural materials.Hi: और इस बार पटाखों से भी बचें।En: And let's avoid fireworks this time."Hi: "रवि का चेहरा कुछ सख्त हो गया।En: Ravi's face grew a little stern.Hi: "हम सदियों से जो कर रहे हैं, उसे क्यों बदलें?En: "Why change something we've been doing for centuries?"Hi: " उन्होंने कहा।En: he said.Hi: अर्जुन ने शांति से समझाया, "पापा, क्या हम कोशिश नहीं कर सकते?En: Arjun explained calmly, "Dad, can we at least try?Hi: परंपरा को हम खो नहीं रहे, बस उसे थोड़ा बदल रहे हैं।En: We're not losing tradition, just altering it a bit.Hi: पर्यावरण के लिए यह बेहतर होगा।En: It will be better for the environment."Hi: "एक पल के लिए, सब शांत हो गए।En: For a moment, everyone went silent.Hi: मीरा, अर्जुन की बहन, ने समर्थन में सिर हिलाया।En: Meera, Arjun's sister, nodded in support.Hi: "भैया का विचार सही है।En: "Brother's idea is right.Hi: कोशिश करके देखते हैं।En: Let's try it out."Hi: "थोड़ी देर बाद, रवि ने गहरी सांस ली और कहा, "ठीक है, कुछ बदलाव करके देखते हैं।En: After a while, Ravi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's try making some changes."Hi: "दिन बीते, और दिवाली का दिन आया।En: Days passed, and the day of Diwali arrived.Hi: खेत को रंग-बिरंगी कागजी लड़ियों और मिट्टी के दीयों से सजाया गया।En: The field was decorated with colorful paper chains and earthen lamps.Hi: पटाखों की जगह पूरे परिवार ने दीप जलाए और मिलकर मिठाइयाँ बांटी।En: Instead of fireworks, the entire family lit lamps and shared sweets together.Hi: वातावरण में पारंपरिक गीत गूंज रहे थे और माहौल में खुशियों की लहर दौड़ रही थी।En: Traditional songs echoed in the atmosphere, and waves of joy were running through the air.Hi: उत्सव के अंत में, हर कोई खुश था।En: At the end of the festival, everyone was happy.Hi: अर्जुन ने महसूस किया कि संतुलन संभव है।En: Arjun realized that balance is possible.Hi: उसने परिवार की परंपराओं को सम्मान दिया और नए विचारों को अपना कर दिखाया।En: He honored family traditions while embracing new ideas.Hi: इस दिवाली परंपराओं और नई सोच का सुंदर संगम था।En: This Diwali was a beautiful blend of tradition and new thinking.Hi: परिवार ने न केवल अर्जुन के विचारों को माना, बल्कि पर्यावरण को लेकर जागरूक होने की ओर भी कदम बढ़ाया।En: The family not only embraced Arjun's ideas but also took steps toward being environmentally conscious.Hi: आखिरकार, अर्जुन ने यह सिखा कि थोड़ा समझौता करने से नई परंपराएँ जन्म ले सकती हैं, जो पुरानी को बनाए रखते हुए भी नई होती हैं।En: In the end, Arjun learned that slight compromises can give birth to new traditions, which, while preserving the old, also bring in the new.Hi: परिवार में समर्थन ने उसे अपने प्रयासों को सफल बनाने में मदद की।En: The support of the family helped him succeed in his efforts.Hi: दीयों की रौशनी में सभी ने दिल से महसूस किया कि बदलाव की यही खूबसूरती होती है।En: In the light of the lamps, everyone felt from the heart that this is the beauty of change.

Neha asked.Hi: "मुझे एक ऐसा गैजेट चाहिए जो हमारे मूल्यों के साथ न्याय करे। कुछ ऐसा जो स्वच्छ ऊर्जा का उपयोग करता हो।" अरिजुन गहरी सोच में था।En: "I need a gadget that does justice to our values. Something that uses clean energy," Arijun was deep in thought.Hi: अचानक उसकी नजर एक सोलर-पावर्ड डिवाइस पर पड़ी।En: Suddenly, his eyes fell on a solar-powered device.Hi: वह अभूतपूर्व था, आधुनिक तकनीक का अद्वितीय नमूना।En: It was extraordinary, a unique sample of modern technology.Hi: लेकिन उसमें एक समस्या थी, एक ऐसी फीचर जो कीमत को बढ़ा रही थी।En: But there was a problem with it, a feature that was increasing its price.Hi: "काफी महंगा है।" समीर ने कहा।En: "It's quite expensive," Sameer noted.Hi: "लेकिन यह सही है। हमारी विचारधारा के अनुरूप।" अरिजुन ने दृढ़ता से कहा।En: "But it's the right one. It aligns with our ideology," Arijun said with determination.Hi: तभी एक निवेशक वहां आया।En: Just then, an investor arrived.Hi: अरिजुन ने उसे डिवाइस का प्रदर्शन दिया।En: Arijun demonstrated the device to him.Hi: उसने दिखाया कैसे यह डिवाइस ईको-फ्रेंडली है, और नवरात्रि के दौरान नैतिकता और नई शुरुआत के आदर्शों के साथ कैसे मेल खाता है।En: He showed how this device was eco-friendly and matched the ideals of ethics and new beginnings during Navratri.Hi: उसकी बातों में जुनून और सच्चाई साफ झलक रही थी।En: His passion and truthfulness were clearly evident in his words.Hi: निवेशक ने सोचा और फिर कहा, "मैं इसे समर्थन देना चाहूँगा। आपने एक महत्वपूर्ण विचार प्रस्तुत किया है।"En: The investor thought for a moment and then said, "I would like to support this. You have presented an important idea."Hi: अरिजुन की खुशी का ठिकाना न था।En: Arijun was overjoyed.Hi: उसे समझ आ गया था कि अपने मूल्यों के प्रति ईमानदार रहना हमेशा सही होता है।En: He realized that staying true to his values is always the right path.Hi: उसकी इस प्रेरणादायक यात्रा ने उसे दिखाया कि सच्चा जुनून और समर्पण कैसे किसी को सफलता की ओर ले जा सकता है।En: This inspiring journey showed him how true passion and dedication can lead someone to success.Hi: और अब, प्राकृतिक सौंदर्य से घिरे उस इंक्यूबेटर में, अरिजुन के चेहरे पर मुस्कान थी।En: And now, in that incubator surrounded by natural beauty, Arijun had a smile on his face.Hi: उसने अपने आदर्शों से समझौता नहीं किया और फिर भी अपनी मंजिल हासिल की।En: He had not compromised on his ideals and yet had achieved his goal.Hi: यही वास्तव में नवरात्रि का संदेश था—नई शुरुआत और नैतिक जीवन।En: This truly was the message of Navratri—new beginnings and ethical living.

It's back to school! Do You Really Know is dedicating a special week to sport. Because moving and doing regular physical activity is important for our physical and mental health! Listen again to our episodes about sport! One of the biggest challenges that we have been facing and will be continuing to face in the coming years is protecting our planet. So it's worth reflecting on how we can exercise in a more eco-friendly manner. We turn to exercise for leisure, entertainment and to stay fit and healthy, but not many people realize that the carbon footprint can be significant. Of course that's particularly true for high-profile international sporting events, like the FIFA World Cup, which is taking place in Qatar this winter. But even for the vast majority of us who aren't involved in professional competition, there are still things you can do to reduce the environmental impact of your exercise.  Well I've been a gym member for years now; that can't have much impact, can it?! What about clothing and accessories? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠Could insects replace meat?⁠ ⁠Can exercise snacking help me beat a busy schedule to stay fit?⁠ ⁠Will Star Wars: Andor live up to the hype?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

Pallavi's first name roughly translates to “leaf” in Sanskrit.

Founded in 2019, the brand delivers elegant yet eco-conscious alternatives to single-use plastic and paper products—everything from plates and bowls to patented straws—designed for both everyday use as well as upscale events. Sold on Amazon, Walmart, Wayfair, and in local markets, Dtocs has captured attention far and wide, earning the prestigious NEXTY Award for Innovation at the Natural Products Expo East and being named a finalist in Shark Tank's audition rounds.  According to one article dated May 1, 2024, Dtocs had achieved $1.8 million in cumulative revenue since 2019 and the company reported having sold 10 million palm leaf tableware units at that point in time.  Pallavi has also been honored as a 2023 Influential Businesswoman and an AI Innovation Excellence Award recipient, recognized on the INC 250 Female Founders list, and most recently awarded the Clearco 2025 AAPI Ecommerce Excellence Award, which spotlights Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) founders in the e-commerce space.

SHOW NOTES: This hour, we're focusing on eco-friendly home improvements and design tips to help your money pit and Mother Nature, especially as we've just experienced a significant heatwave across the US. We're exploring how to save some green while going green this summer, with easy, affordable projects that can shrink your energy bills, cut back on waste, and help the planet. Here's a look at the topics and calls we'll cover: - Attic Upgrades: Your attic can either work for you or against you in the summer. We're sharing smart attic upgrades to keep your home cooler, cut energy costs, and protect your home from summer's worst side effects. - Strategic Landscaping for Cooling: You can cool your home without touching the thermostat by letting nature do the work. We discuss how strategic landscaping, such as planting shade trees, can naturally reduce heat and energy bills while giving your yard a green upgrade. - Eco-Friendly Design and DIY Projects: We're all about eco-friendly home upgrades that benefit both the planet and your wallet.   Q & A: - Mike from Alaska called in with a question about an upstairs window that leaks when it rains, noting drips from the soffits. We discussed potential causes, including backed-up gutters, failed sealant, or improper flashing. - Susan from California asked about options for her 38-year-old asphalt driveway that needs to be redone, but she doesn't want to resurface with blacktop. - Mark has a beautiful log cabin home that hasn't been stained in 8 years and is fading. We advise him on the process of cleaning the raw lumber, letting it dry, and then choosing a stain that includes UV protection. - Ed is dealing with a serious issue with his 1880s Victorian home's brick foundation, where the bottom layer of bricks is starting to bow out. For such a critical structural concern, we strongly recommend consulting a structural engineer to diagnose the problem. - Darlene from Texas has a flagstone patio with uneven stones and nothing between the cracks. - Carl from Massachusetts emailed us about a foul odor coming from his newly installed dishwasher. This is often due to bio-gas buildup, and we have tips on how to clean those trouble spots.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question? We'd love to help!
