The aim of this study is to evaluate the applicability of Ho-CaWO nanoparticles prepared using the hydrothermal method for the removal of Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solution using adsorption process. The effects of contact time, Ho-CaWO nanoparticles dose and initial MB concentration on the removal of MB were studied using the central composite design (CCD) method. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling techniques were applied to model the process and their performance and predictive capabilities of the response (removal efficiency) was also examined. The adsorption process was optimized using the RSM and the optimum conditions were determined. The process was also modelled using the adsorption isotherm and kinetic models. The ANN and RSM model showed adequate prediction of the response, with absolute average deviation (AAD) of 0.001 and 0.320 and root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.119 and 0.993, respectively. The RSM model was found to be more acceptable since it has the lowest RMSE and AAD compared to the ANN model. Optimum MB removal of 71.17% was obtained at pH of 2.03, contact time of 15.16 min, Ho-CaWO nanoparticles dose of 1.91 g/L, and MB concentration of 100.65 mg/L. Maximum adsorption capacity ( ) of 103.09 mg/g was obtained. The experimental data of MB adsorption on Ho-CaWO nanoparticles followed the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models than the other models. It could be concluded that the prepared Ho-CaWO nanoparticles can be used efficiently for the removal of MB and also, the process can be optimized to maximize the removal of MB. •Synthesis and characterization of Ho-CaWO nanoparticles.•Modelling and optimization of Methylene Blue removal onto Ho-CaWO using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial neural network (ANN).•Evaluation of the isotherm and kinetic parameters of the adsorption process.

Wound bacterial infections not only impede the healing process but can also give rise to a range of serious complications, thereby posing a substantial risk to human health. Developing effective wound dressings incorporating phototherapy functionalities, specifically photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), remains a critical area of research in modern wound care. Existing PTT-PDT systems often suffer from challenges such as nanoparticle aggregation and inefficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which are essential for therapeutic efficacy.

Exogenous genes are inserted into target cells during gene therapy in order to compensate or rectify disorders brought on by faulty or aberrant genes. However, gene therapy is still in its early stages because of its unsatisfactory therapeutic effects which are mainly due to low transfection efficiency of vectors, high toxicity, and poor target specificity. A natural polymer with numerous bioactive sites, good mechanical qualities, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and processability called silk fibroin has gained attention as a possible gene therapy vector.
