Background: Dental implants are increasingly favored as a therapeutic replacement option for edentulism. Titanium (Ti), due to its excellent biocompatibility and unique osseointegration properties, is commonly used in dental implants. Various surface modifications have been explored to improve osseointegration outcomes.

- Wastewater management is a growing global issue due to pollution from various sources like industrial waste, sewage, and pharmaceuticals, leading to serious health risks, including antimicrobial resistance and bioaccumulation of toxins in organisms.
- Current treatment methods use physical, chemical, and biological processes to tackle pollutants, but there is a push for more innovative solutions using synthetic biology that combines biological functions and engineering for improved efficiency.
- The review proposes a novel, cost-effective multi-bedded wastewater treatment plant design aimed at effectively removing major pollutants to provide safe water for household use, irrigation, and storage.
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs), major group of recalcitrant compounds, poses a serious threat to the health and future of millions of human beings, and other flora and fauna for years to come. A close analysis of various xenobiotics undermines the fact that EDC is structurally diverse chemical compounds generated as a part of anthropogenic advancements as well as part of their degradation. Regardless of such structural diversity, EDC is common in their ultimate drastic effect of impeding the proper functioning of the endocrinal system, basic physiologic systems, resulting in deregulated growth, malformations, and cancerous outcomes in animals as well as humans.
