Facile sonochemically-assisted bioengineering of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and deciphering their potential in treating breast and lung cancers: biological, molecular, and computational-based investigations.

Combining sonochemistry with phytochemistry is a modern trend in the biosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles (NPs), which contributes to the sustainability of chemical processes and minimizes hazardous effects. Herein, titanium dioxide (TiO) NPs were bioengineered using a novel and facile ultrasound-assisted approach utilizing the greenly extracted essential oil of . FTIR and UV-Vis spectrophotometry were used to confirm the formation of TiO NPs.

Emerging tendencies for the nano-delivery of gambogic acid: a promising approach in oncotherapy.

Despite the advancements in cancer therapies during the past few years, chemo/photo resistance, severe toxic effects, recurrence of metastatic tumors, and non-selective targeting remain incomprehensible. Thus, much effort has been spent exploring natural anticancer compounds endowed with biosafety and high effectiveness in cancer prevention and therapy. Gambogic acid (GA) is a promising natural compound in cancer therapy.

Improved antimicrobial activities of essential oils nanoencapsulated into hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrins.

Natural antimicrobials have recently gained increasing interest over synthetic antimicrobials to overcome foodborne pathogens and food microbial contamination. Essential oils (EOs) obtained from resins (BO) were utilized for respiratory disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, malignant tumors, and viral infections. Like other EOs, the therapeutic potential of BO is hindered by its low solubility and bioavailability, poor stability, and high volatility.

Recent progress in the genotyping of bovine tuberculosis and its rapid diagnosis nanoparticle-based electrochemical biosensors.

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is considered a worldwide infectious zoonotic disease. causes bTB disease. It is one of the complex (MTBC) members.

Exploitation of expired cellulose biopolymers as hydrochars for capturing emerging contaminants from water.

Expired chemicals pose a potential environmental threat to humans and living organisms. Herein, we proposed a green approach whereby expired cellulose biopolymers were converted to hydrochar adsorbents and tested for removing the emerging pharmaceutical contaminants of fluoxetine hydrochloride and methylene blue from water. A thermally stable hydrochar was produced with an average particle size of 8.

Polymeric nanoparticles for dopamine and levodopa replacement in Parkinson's disease.

As the world's population ages, the incidence of Parkinson's disease (PD), the second most common neurological ailment, keeps increasing. It is estimated that 1% of the global population over the age of 60 has the disease. The continuous loss of dopaminergic neurons and the concomitant brain depletion of dopamine levels represent the hallmarks of PD.

Betaine host-guest complexation with a calixarene receptor: enhanced anticancer effect.

-Sulfonatocalix[]arenes have shown excellent potential for accommodating chemotherapeutic drugs through host-guest complexation and enhancing their anticancer activity. Betaine has been reported to exert an anticancer effect at high concentrations. In order to increase its concentration in cancer cells, we have complexed it with -SC4, which releases its content in an acidic environment typical of cancer tissue.
