Increasing attention is focused on developing biomaterials as temporary scaffolds that provide a specific environment and microstructure for bone tissue regeneration. The aim of the present work was to synthesize silicon-doped biomimetic multi-phase composite scaffolds based on bioactive inorganic phases and biocompatible polymers (poly(ε-caprolactone), PCL) using simple and inexpensive methods. Porous multi-phase composite scaffolds from cuttlefish bone were synthesized using a hydrothermal method and were further impregnated with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane 1-4 times, heat-treated (1000 °C) and coated with PCL. The effect of silicon doping and the PCL coating on the microstructure and mechanical and biological properties of the scaffolds has been investigated. Multi-phase scaffolds based on calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite, -tricalcium phosphate, -tricalcium phosphate) and calcium silicate (wollastonite, larnite, dicalcium silicate) phases were obtained. Elemental mapping revealed homogeneously dispersed silicon throughout the scaffolds, whereas silicon doping increased bovine serum albumin protein adsorption. The highly porous structure of cuttlefish bone was preserved with a composite scaffold porosity of ~78%. A compressive strength of ~1.4 MPa makes the obtained composite scaffolds appropriate for non-load-bearing applications. Cytocompatibility assessment by an MTT assay of human mesenchymal stem cells revealed the non-cytotoxicity of the obtained scaffolds.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cuttlebone (CB), also known as SEPIAE ENDOCONCHA, is the inner shell of cuttlefish and has been employed in traditional medicine in numerous countries since antiquity. Despite its significant medicinal value, CB is often underestimated and discarded on the beach as debris in some countries, which considerably impacts the environment and economy.
The Aim Of The Review: This study aims to elucidate the value of CB, particularly in the context of its medicinal properties, to promote its rational utilization.

Article Synopsis
- A new nano platform for phototherapy using natural materials has been developed, incorporating calcium carbonate nanoparticles from squid bones, dye from Syzygium cumini, and the chemotherapy drug Doxorubicin.
- Copper nanoparticles were added to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment, which uses an 808 nm laser for irradiation.
- The results indicate that this nano-composite is highly effective in generating reactive oxygen species and significantly raises temperature during treatment, showing promise for reducing toxicity and improving cancer therapy outcomes.

Adsorption remediation is an energy-efficient water treatment technology that utilizes the adsorption properties of a biosorbent to remove various pollutants. While many articles have explored the high surface area and adsorption capacity of activated carbon for remediating aquatic systems, few have delved into the environmental impact of its synthesis, which often involves HPO, a highly toxic activating agent. In this study, we present a groundbreaking alternative to activated carbon for the adsorption and remediation of aquatic waste that doesn't rely on chemical products.

In this study, the adsorption capacity of bio-hydroxyapatite (Bio-HAp) from devilfish for the removal of F and Cd(II) from aqueous solutions was investigated. This material was synthesized according to a 2FI factorial experimental design by varying the extraction conditions for Bio-HAp, including the type of pretreatment (alkaline and peroxide), the calcination temperature from 550 to 850 °C, and the sonication process. The maximum adsorption capacities were 8.
