Black Phosphorus Nanoflakes: An Emerging Nanomaterial for Clinical Wound Management and Biomedical Applications.

Black phosphorus (BP), a two-dimensional material, has gathered significant attention over the last decade, primarily due to its unique physiochemical properties and potential role in various biomedical applications. This review provides an in-depth overview of the synthesis, nanomaterial properties, interactions, and biomedical uses of BP, with a particular focus on wound management. The structure, synthesis methods, and stability of BP are discussed, highlighting the high degree of nanomaterial biocompatibility and cytotoxicity.

Probiotaceuticals: Back to the future?

Probiotic research has undergone some exciting and unanticipated changes in direction since the 2010 commentary by GSH, which speculated on probiotics being ultimately utilized as "factories" capable of releasing pharmaceutical-grade metabolites with therapeutic potential for a wide range of primarily gastrointestinal disorders. Indeed, the unrelenting search for new alternatives to antibiotics has further stimulated the development of "next-generation" probiotics. Postbiotics, defined as inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confer a health benefit on the host, remain at the forefront of current probiotic research, with increasing numbers of probiotic species, strains, and substrains now being identified and further exploited as pharmabiotics; probiotics with a proven pharmacologic role in health and disease that have been subjected to clinical trial prior to approval by regulatory bodies.

Deferiprone and Gallium-Protoporphyrin Chitogel as an antimicrobial treatment: Preclinical studies demonstrating antimicrobial activity for S. aureus infected cutaneous wounds.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most common wound pathogens with increased resistance towards currently available antimicrobials. S.

Cytotoxic and Immunomodulatory Activity of Curcumin and Chitosan on Experimental Toxoplasmosis.

Background: is a pathogenic parasite with worldwide distribution. We investigated curcumin and chitosan in combination on the viability of tachyzoites in silico, in vitro and in vivo.

Methods: A 3D model was employed in Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran in 2021 to study the interaction between curcumin and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR).
