Cerium oxide nanoparticle: a remarkably versatile rare earth nanomaterial for biological applications
Can Xu, Xiaogang Qu. NPG Asia Materials, 2014-03-01
Topic: Disease mechanisms in lab and animal studies
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs) have attracted much attention because they possess multi-enzyme mimetic properties and have been used in bioanalysis, biomedicine, drug delivery, bioscaffold and so on. This review summarizes recent achievements on CeONPs catalytic mechanisms, the multi-enzyme-like activity, and their biomedical applications, such as in treatment of cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

How this study scored 38/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 22 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 38 out of 100.
