Article Synopsis
  • Bacterial biofilms are tough to treat in healthcare settings due to their resistance to antibiotics; this study investigates the anti-biofilm effects of Bacillus licheniformis cell-free culture supernatant (CFS) and silver nanoparticles derived from it (bSNPs) against common pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
  • The CFS demonstrated strong anti-biofilm activity at low concentrations without killing the bacteria, which reduces the risk of developing antibiotic resistance, and was found to be stable and effective even when exposed to heat.
  • The study indicates that bSNPs are particularly effective against P. aeruginosa, disrupt biofilm formation

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNP) have garnered significant attention due to their versatile redox properties and wound-healing applications. The antioxidative nature of CNP is due to its ability to be oxidized and reduced, followed by the capture or release of oxygen which is used for scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, CNP is produced through a wet chemistry approach and its tunable redox property is tested across a range of temperatures.

The multifaceted role of vitamin C in human health intrudes several biochemical functions that are but not limited to antioxidant activity, homoeostasis, amino acid synthesis, collagen synthesis, osteogenesis, neurotransmitter production and several yet to be explored functions. In absence of an innate biosynthetic pathway, humans are obligated to attain vitamin C from dietary sources to maintain its optimal serum level (28 μmol/L). However, a significant amount of naturally occurring vitamin C may deteriorate due to food processing, storage and distribution before reaching to the human gastrointestinal tract, thus limiting or mitigating its disease combating activity.

One of the most contentious issues in modern medicine is how to effectively standardise breast cancer screening. Deep learning models are already saving lives in the medical field due to their capacity to distinguish between benign and malignant tumours. Histopathology imaging poses difficulties due to the possibility of large colour variations caused by the staining technique and the biopsy material used to make the image; this problem leads to inaccurate breast cancer diagnoses.

Most approaches use interactive priors to find tumours and then segment them based on tumour-centric candidates. A fully convolutional network is demonstrated for end-to-end breast tumour segmentation. When confronted with such a variety of options, to enhance tumour detection in digital mammograms, one uses multiscale picture information.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a highly morbid pulmonary disease characterized by hypoxic respiratory failure. Its pathogenesis is characterized by unrestrained oxidative stress and inflammation, with long-term sequelae of pulmonary fibrosis and diminished lung function. Unfortunately, prior therapeutic ARDS trials have failed and therapy is limited to supportive measures.

Diabetic wounds represent a significant healthcare burden and are characterized by impaired wound healing due to increased oxidative stress and persistent inflammation. We have shown that CNP-miR146a synthesized by the conjugation of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNP) to microRNA (miR)-146a improves diabetic wound healing. CNP are divalent metal oxides that act as free radical scavenger, while miR146a inhibits the pro-inflammatory NFκB pathway, so CNP-miR146a has a synergistic role in modulating both oxidative stress and inflammation.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are considered as greener technologies for generation of bioenergy and simultaneously treatment of wastewater. However, the major drawback of these technologies was, rapid utilization of substrate by the microbes to generate power. This drawback is solved to a great extent by plant microbial fuel cell (PMFC) technology.

The present study investigated the potential protective effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNP) on human retinal pigment epithelium (ARPE-19) cells damaged by hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Toxicity of HCQ on the ARPE-19 cells was explored with a dose response trial. CNP rescue both a pre-treatment protocol, where CNP were applied 24 hours prior to HCQ application and a simultaneous treatment protocol where both CNP and HCQ were applied together, were used.

To avoid aging and ultraviolet mediated skin disease the cell repair machinery must work properly. Neutrophils, also known as polymorphonuclear leukocytes, are the first and most abundant cell types which infiltrate sites of irradiation and play an important role in restoring the microenvironment homeostasis. However, the infiltration of neutrophils in ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiated skin might also contribute to the pathophysiology of skin disease.

Many studies have linked reactive oxygen species (ROS) to various diseases. Biomedical research has therefore sought a way to control and regulate ROS produced in biological systems. In recent years, cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria, CNPs) have been pursued due to their ability to act as regenerative ROS scavengers.

The plant root is the primary site of interaction between plants and associated microorganisms and constitutes the main components of plant microbiomes that impact crop production. The endophytic bacteria in the root zone have an important role in plant growth promotion. Diverse microbial communities inhabit plant root tissues, and they directly or indirectly promote plant growth by inhibiting the growth of plant pathogens, producing various secondary metabolites.

The reserves of fossil-based fuels, which currently seem sufficient to meet the global demands, is inevitably on the verge of exhaustion. Contemporary raw material for alternate fuel like biodiesel is usually edible plant commodity oils, whose increasing public consumption rate raises the need of finding a non-edible and fungible alternate oil source. In this quest, single cell oils (SCO) from oleaginous yeasts and fungi can provide a sustainable alternate of not only functional but also valuable (polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-rich) lipids.
