The biological effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) irradiation in the terahertz (THz) range remain ambiguous, despite numerous studies that have been conducted. In this paper, the metabolic response of K 12 to EMF irradiation was examined using a 1.0 W m incident synchrotron source (SS) in the range of 0.

Over 10 min of exposure, the PC 12 cells received a total energy of 600 J m, with a total incident power density of ∼1.0 W m (0.

- * ε-PL-Se NPs show exceptional antimicrobial activity, with the ability to significantly reduce methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and maintain low minimum bactericidal and fungicidal concentrations against other tested strains.
- * Unlike traditional antibiotics, ε-PL-Se NPs delay the development of resistance in bacteria, suggesting a promising approach for more sustainable treatments against AMR.
While there has been significant research conducted on bacterial colonization on implant materials, with a focus on developing surface modifications to prevent the formation of bacterial biofilms, the study of Candida albicans biofilms on implantable materials is still in its infancy, despite its growing relevance in implant-associated infections. C. albicans fungal infections represent a significant clinical concern due to their severity and associated high fatality rate.
