Nanoscale particles and molecules are a potential different for the treatment of disease because they have distinctive biologic property based on their structure and size, which is different from traditional small-molecule drugs. The antimicrobial mechanisms of silver nanoparticles include the formation of free radicals damaging the bacterial membranes, interactions with DNA, adhesion to cell surface altering the membrane properties, and enzyme damage. In this review, we focus on applications of silver nanoparticles in inhibition of herpes simplex virus.

An innovative approach to ticks and insect pests management is necessary to mitigate the challenges posed by the indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides, which can lead to resistance development and environmental pollution. Despite their great potential, biological control agents have significant manufacturing, application, and stability limitations. Currently, using phytochemicals, biosynthesized nanoparticles, and bioagents to get rid of arthropods might be a good alternative that would make farmers less worried about residues and resistance.

Deoxynivalenol, a hazardous mycotoxin, poses significant health risks to humans and animals, necessitating highly sensitive detection methods due to its low abundance in food. Herein, we present a colorimetric sensing strategy for deoxynivalenol detection based on the inhibitory effect of silver ions on the peroxidase-like activity of Ni@Pt nanoparticles. Silver ions adsorb onto the surface of Ni@Pt nanoparticles, blocking the active site and consequently impeding their catalytic activity.

Titanium is widely used for implants however it presents limitations such as infection risk, stress shielding phenomenon, and poor osseointegration. To address these issues, a novel approach was proposed that involves fabricating porous titanium substrates, to reduce implant stiffness, minimizing stress shielding and bone resorption, and applying polymeric coatings to improve bioactivity. Composite coating prepared from chitosan, silver nanoparticles, and nanohydroxyapatite was optimized to enhance antibacterial properties and promote osseointegration.

Coal fly ash, a waste byproduct of coal-fired power plants rich in silica, is produced in vast quantities, exceeding 750 million tons annually. This abundance underscores the importance of finding sustainable and value-added applications for its reuse. Silver nanoparticle-silica composites represent a class of inorganically hybrid antimicrobial agents as the protection layer of cotton fabrics.
