Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is responsible for 10–20% of breast cancer cases and is associated with poor prognosis and limited treatment options due to the lack of expression of hormone and HER2 receptors. Kojic acid dipalmitate (KDP) is best known for its skin depigmenting activity; however kojic acid derivatives have shown promising antitumor activity. Such potential remains unexplored for KDP in breast cancer.

A Brief Note on Multifaceted Aspect of Functional Quantum Dots

Rajib Biswas

Discovered in 1981, Quantum Dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals defined by quantum confinement, which allows for precise sizetuneable optoelectronic properties. Their brightness, photostability, and discrete energy levels have revolutionized fields from energy storage to optoelectronics.

Graphene Quantum Dot-Decorated Fillers for Polymer Hybrid Composites

Ahmad Adlie Shamsuri

Polymer hybrid composites containing multiple fillers have attracted considerable attention because combinations of different materials can provide properties that are difficult to achieve with a single filler [1]. Nevertheless, the performance of these composites strongly depends on filler dispersion and interfacial interactions within the polymer matrix [2–4].
