Novel nanomaterials-based combating strategies against drug-resistant bacteria.

Numerous types of contemporary antibiotic treatment regimens have become ineffective with the increasing incidence of drug tolerance. As a result, it is pertinent to seek novel and innovative solutions such as antibacterial nanomaterials (NMs) for the prohibition and treatment of hazardous microbial infections. Unlike traditional antibiotics (e.

Carbon dot-graphene oxide-based luminescent nanosensor for creatinine detection in human urine.

A fluorescence (FL)-based nanosensor has been devised for creatinine (CR) detection in human urine specimens. The proposed nanosensor utilized a nanocomposite (NC) of carbon dots (CDs) and graphene oxide (GO). The formation of CDs/GO NC reduced the CD FL emission (λ = 390 nm, λ = 461 nm) by ~ 75%.

A comprehensive review on immunogen and immune-response proteins of SARS-CoV-2 and their applications in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19.

Exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome-corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) prompts humoral immune responses in the human body. As the auxiliary diagnosis of a current infection, the existence of viral proteins can be checked from specific antibodies (Abs) induced by immunogenic viral proteins. For people with a weakened immune system, Ab treatment can help neutralize viral antigens to resist and treat the disease.

Carbon dot-copper nanocomposite-based fluorescent sensor for detection of creatinine in urine samples of CKD patients.

Creatinine (CR) is accepted as a clinical biomarker of chronic kidney disease (CKD) such as renal injury and kidney failure. To help facilitate the prognosis of CKD, a highly luminescent carbon dot (CD)-based fluorescent (FL) sensor has been built and employed for CR detection in diverse media (e.g.
