Carbon dots (CDs) are a class of carbon-based nanomaterials undergoing rapid development with broad potential applications across diverse biomedical fields. These materials highly attractive for diagnostics, therapeutics, and nanomedicine due to their remarkable optical physicochemical properties, including photoluminescence, biocompatibility, aqueous dispersibility. CDs can be synthesized using various techniques, ranging from top-down bottom-up approaches. Among these, biogenic synthesis,...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as 7, 12-dimethylbenzneanthracene (DMBA), due to long-term bioaccumulation cause serious physiological processes and behavioral dysfunctions cancer, ageing, hypertension. Silk sericin (SS) is instrumental in cancer applications presence of flavonoids carotenoids which are natural pigments, present the layer that has antioxidant antityrosinase activity. It reduces oxidative stress suppresses cytokines while interacting with reactive oxygen species...

Gold nanorods (GNRs) are ideal choice in biomedical research due to their amenability of synthesis, tunable plasmonic properties, less toxicity and ease detection but diverse biological applications necessitate stable structure. Despite two decades' efforts made towards reproducible anisotropic structures still the kinetic control during GNRs growth has not been achieved. This study is an attempt apprehend thermodynamic parameters for synthesising mono-disperse, highly with desired aspect...

Two of the limitations associated with cancer treatment are low efficacy and high dose-related side effects anticancer drugs. The purpose current study was to fabricate biocompatible multifunctional drug-loaded nanoscale moieties for co-therapy (chemo-photothermal therapy) maximum minimum effects. Herein, we report in vitro anticancerous doxorubicin (DOX) loaded on gold nanorods coated polyelectrolyte poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS-GNRs) without NIR laser (808 nm, power density = 1.5...

Abstract Diabetes mellitus causes impaired diabetic wounds which is linked to a number of pathological alterations that impede the healing wounds. In current research, Swiss albino mice were given alloxan monohydrate induce diabetes and excision approximately 6 mm using biopsy punch. The treated with various biomaterials including Vachellia nilotica extract (VN), Nigella sativa (NS), V . nanoparticles (VNNPs) N (NSNPs). Their effects determined by evaluating percent wound contraction, time,...
