Cinnamon-mediated nano emulsion and its cryogenic activity on ROS-affected human sperm-A short study.

Oil-mediated nano emulsion, a more advanced technology than other commercial extenders, will protect spermatozoa for extended periods against ROS and cryo injuries. The study is designed to elucidate the most suitable extender to preserve infertile subjects' sperm cells against ROS damage. This is a significant step forward for the andrology society, as it introduces the use of a nano emulsion extender (natural oil extract) for the first time, particularly for those who are undergoing urology-related defects.

Plumeria alba flower extract-mediated synthesis of recyclable chitosan-coated cadmium nanoparticles for pest control and dye degradation.

In the current scenario, many synthetic chemicals have used long-term to control pests and mosquitoes, leading to the resistance of strains and toxicity effect on human beings. To overcome the adverse problem in recent advances, the scientific community is looking into nanofabricated pesticides and mosquitoes. This study aims to synthesize the recyclable chitosan-coated cadmium nanoparticles (Ch-CdNps) using Plumeria alba flower extract, which was further applied for insecticidal and mosquitocidal activities.

Phytosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from Jacq. flower extract and their possible applications as antibacterial and antioxidant agent.

 Jacq. flower extract was used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles in the current study. Various spectroscopic analyses were used to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles (JIF-AgNPs).

Biosynthesis, characterization, and antibacterial activity of gold nanoparticles.

Background: In recent decades focus of research has been toward an alternative antibacterial agent because of growing bacterial resistance and side effects of antibacterial agents. In the current study, the antibacterial activity of gold nanoparticles has been evaluated on selected human pathogens.

Methods: In this study, we used panchagavya (PG) to synthesize gold nanoparticles, and the resulting nanoparticles (PG-AuNPs) were characterized by several spectroscopic techniques.

Isolation of bioactive compounds from lichen Parmelia sulcata and evaluation of antimicrobial property.

Background: Lichens were used as an ailment in the traditional medicine for treating various disorders for centuries. Since there is less evidence in the literature about the medicinal property of Parmelia sulcata (P. sulcata), we made a pioneer attempt to explore the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of lichens.
