Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in women worldwide. The main reason could be inheritance, change in environmental conditions or the mutation in certain genes that cause cancer. These genes are not negligible, on the contrary, a wide range of genes have their involvement in the development and progression of different stages of breast cancer.

While favourable interactions bring positive clinical outcomes, unfavourable interactions may lead to toxicity. This article reviews the impact of food intake on drug-food interactions, the clinical effects of drugs, and the effect of drug-food in correlation with diet and precision medicine.

- Phosphorene, a two-dimensional nanomaterial, shows potential for improving electrocatalytic activity in oxygen evolution reactions (OER) but requires controlled synthesis of few-layered structures for better performance.
- A new method for creating phosphorene quantum dots (PQDs) through a single-step electrochemical exfoliation allows for in situ surface functionalization, enhancing their electrocatalytic activity.
- Functionalized phosphorene quantum dots (FPQDs) demonstrate efficient OER performance with low overpotential and Tafel slope, while exhibiting stronger electron transfer kinetics, making them promising materials for water-splitting devices.
Transition-metal dichalcogenide quantum dots (TMDQDs) with few layers are in the forefront of recent research on tailored 2D layered materials owing to their unique band structure. Such quantum dots (QDs) draw wide interest as potential candidates for components in optoelectronic devices. Although a few attempts towards single step synthesis of MoS QDs have been demonstrated, limited methods are available for WS QDs.
