The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria causes a substantial barrier to treatment, demanding the development of new antibacterial medicines. Myrmecodia pendens (ant nest plant), an indigenous medicinal specie...

Background: Conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC) is widely used as a restorative base and liner owing to its chemical adhesion to dentine, fluoride release, and favourable biocompatibility. Nevertheless, its intrinsic...

The persistent escalation of antibiotic resistance poses a severe threat to global public health. As a common opportunistic pathogen, the rapid development of resistance in Escherichia coli (E. coli) poses severe challen...

The research was carried out to analyze the antimicrobial activity of oils from ungurahui fruit, kukui nut, and black cumin seeds. The antimicrobial activity of the oils was evaluated using standard laboratory test strai...

Abstract Various silicate compounds have been extensively used for scaffold fabrication via electrospinning. However, harnessing the bioactive properties of Calcium silicate (CS) and Zinc silicate (ZS) are less explored ...

Abstract This study investigates the phenolic and sugar composition of an aqueous Syrian Citrus Bee Pollen (SCBP) extract and its application in the green synthesis of gold (AuNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). High-...

Abstract This study conducted a comprehensive in vitro pharmacological evaluation of the crude extract and solvent-partitioned fractions of Gnetum gnemon var. tenerum. LC–MS metabolite profiling identified 77 compounds...

The basidiomycete Inocutis tamaricis is a medicinal fungus belonging to the family Hymenochaetaceae. This study evaluates the biological activities of a protease enzyme extracted from I. tamaricis, focusing on its antimi...

The basidiomycete Inocutis tamaricis is a medicinal fungus belonging to the family Hymenochaetaceae. This study evaluates the biological activities of a protease enzyme extracted from I. tamaricis, focusing on its antimi...

Abstract The search for high-efficiency antimicrobial nanomaterials has intensified due to the escalating threat of antibiotic resistance. In this study, titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were synthesized using a...

Abstract The primary objective of this study is to develop and validate robust data-driven models for accurately predicting bacterial growth inhibition induced by cerium oxide nanoparticles across different bacterial str...

Abstract Background Salvia fruticosa (Lamiaceae) is traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal (GIT) issues, stomach and abdominal pain, and ulcers. In this work, we aimed to extract essential oils (EOs) from the aeria...

Abstract The essential oil (EO) of Tanacetum argyrophyllum harvested from Armenian flora (2080 m above sea level), characterized by a eucalyptol–camphor chemotype, and was investigated for its antibacterial activity, ...

Abstract Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from essential fluorescent amino acids, such as lysine (Lys), phenylalanine (Phe), tyrosine (Tyr), and tryptophan (Trp) by two routes, microwave and teflon-lined au...

Ureteral stent-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain a significant clinical challenge, primarily due to bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. To address this, we engineered a multifunctional antibacterial...

Background: To overcome antibiotic resistance, there is an interest in improving or discovering novel classes of antibiotics from microorganisms that have different mechanisms of action worldwide. In Ethiopia, no signifi...

Abstract Simultaneous inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV (Topo IV) is a primary pharmacological strategy to enhance antibacterial efficacy and markedly reduce the emergence of antibiotic resistance. In this re...

Abstract In the present study, yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using different precipitating agents, namely acetic acid, oxalic acid, sodium carbonate, and urea, through a controlled ...

Abstract Background To compare the antibacterial activity of conventional intracanal medicaments used in regenerative endodontic treatment (TAP, DAP, Ca(OH)₂, CHX gel) with novel hydrogel-based formulations (chitosan, ...

In this study, biological and chemical pollutants from various points of Diyala River (wastewater, sewage, orchard water, running water, and liquefied water) were treated by synthesizing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) by ...

The thermoacidophilic Alicyclobacillus (ACB) genus includes several species responsible for spoilage of acidic fruit-based products, yet bacteriocins produced by these bacteria remain unexplored. In this study, the spoil...

Abstract Bone regeneration of oral and maxillofacial defects in situ remains a significant clinical challenge. This study investigates the synergistic effects of phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) co-doping in wollastonite bio...

Surface functionalization of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is commonly used to improve their dispersibility, functionality, and performance across diverse applications. However, the potential biosafety risks of these mod...
