Aim: Owing to their catalytic properties as reactive oxygen species scavengers, cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) have become an extremely promising candidate for medical applications, especially in the treatment of diseases where oxidative stress has been proposed as one of the main pathogenesis factors.

Materials & Methods: In this work, nanoceria antioxidant power has been tested in primary cultured skin fibroblasts, derived from healthy individuals, by evaluating the mitochondrial function both in basal condition and after an oxidative insult.

Results & Conclusion: Combined with a clear lack of toxicity, antioxidant activity makes nanoceria promising in a wide range of clinical applications sharing the common signature of a global bioenergetic dysfunction.

The bacterial infection and oxidative wound microenvironment delay skin repair and necessitate intelligent wound dressings to enable scarless wound healing. The immunoglobulin of yolk (IgY) exhibits immunotherapeutic potential for the potential treatment of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens, while cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO NPs) could scavenge superoxide dismutase (SOD) and inflammation. The overarching objective of this study was to incorporate IgY and CeO NPs into poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide)/gelatin (PLGA/Gel)-based dressings (P/G@IYCe) for infected skin repair.

Fe, Ni, and Cu doped ceria nanoparticles (CeNPs) were prepared with a simple and one-pot hydrothermal synthesis method. We investigated the chemiluminescence (CL) interaction between these NPs and rhodamine B (Rh B) and found that the highest CL intensity was related to the Rh B- Cu doped CeNPs. We assigned that to the higher catalytic property of Cu doped NPs compared to the others.

Background: It is well established that the interaction between osteogenesis and inflammation can impact bone tissue regeneration. The use of nanoparticles to treat and alleviate inflammation at the molecular level has the potential to improve the osteogenic microenvironment and serve as a therapeutic approach.

Methods: We have synthesized new hollow cerium oxide nanoparticles and doped with cathepsin B inhibitor (CA-074Me) to create novel CeO@CA-074Me NPs.

To provide accurate diagnostic evidence for early hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection-related diseases, this study targeted HBV DNA as an analyte, where a sandwich-type electrochemical DNA sensor based on gold nanoparticles/reduced graphene oxide (Au NPs/ERGO) and cerium oxide/gold-platinum nanoparticles (CeO/AuPt NPs) was constructed. Au NPs/ERGO composite nanomaterials were first synthesized on the surface of a glass carbon electrode using electrochemical co-reduction, which significantly improved the specific surface area and electrical conductivity of the electrode. Further specific hybridization of target HBV-DNA was performed by combining capture probe DNA (S1-DNA) bound to AuNPs/ERGO with CeO/AuPt modified signal probe DNA (S2-DNA).

Background: The metal oxide nanoparticles possess unique properties such as biological compatibility, superior reactivity, and capacity to develop reactive oxygen species, due to this they have drawn significant interest in cancer treatment. The various MONPs such as cerium oxide, Copper oxide, Iron oxide, Titanium dioxide, and Zinc oxide have been investigated for several types of cancers including brain, breast, cervical, colon, leukemia, liver, lung, melanoma, ovarian, and prostate cancers. However, traditional physiochemical synthetic methods for MONPs commonly include toxic materials, a major concern that raises questions regarding their biocompatibility and safety.
