Scaffold-free: A developing technique in field of tissue engineering.

Scaffold-free tissue engineering can be considered as a rapidly developing technique in the field of tissue engineering. In the areas of regenerative medicine and wound healing, there is a demand of techniques where no scaffolds are used for the development of desired tissue. These techniques will overcome the problems of rejection and tissue failure which are common with scaffolds.

Multi-functional nano silver: A novel disruptive and theranostic agent for pathogenic organisms in real-time.

The present study was aimed at evaluating the fluorescence property, sporicidal potency against Bacillus and Clostridium endospores, and surface disinfecting ability of biogenic nano silver. The nano silver was synthesized using an actinobacterial cell-filtrate. The fluorescence property as well as imaging facilitator potency of this nano silver was verified adopting spectrofluorometer along with fluorescent and confocal laser scanning microscope wherein strong emission and bright green fluorescence, respectively, on the entire spore surface was observed.

Optimization of sporicidal activity and environmental Bacillus endospores decontamination by biogenic silver nanoparticle.

Aim: The intent of this study is to decontaminate Bacillus endospores and to determine the D-values using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from Streptomyces sp. cell filtrate.

Materials & Methods: AgNPs synthesis was performed extracellularly followed by characterization using spectrophotometer, High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope and x-ray diffraction pattern analysis.

Evaluation of biocompatibility of a new root canal irrigant Q Mix™ 2 in 1- An in vivo study.

Aim: To evaluate the biocompatibility of a new root canal irrigant Q mix™ 2 in 1 in comparison to 0.9% sterile saline, 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).

Materials And Methods: Six circles were drawn on the dorsal skin of 24 male Wistar Albino rats, leaving 2cm between each circle.
