“…Major societal and economic damages are caused by antimicrobial agent resistance. According to the World Health Organization, antibiotic resistance causes 700,000 deaths worldwide each year (Ifijen et al, 2023c). Another difficult field of research is the creation of biomaterials with antibacterial characteristics, as many diseases in the modern world are brought on by germs (Maliki et al, 2023).…”

Microbes play a crucial role in our lives, and certain pathogenic bacteria are responsible for a wide range of infectious illnesses, food safety, and environmental damage. Layered double hydroxide (LDH), a type of natural two-dimensional substance with a distinctive layered structure also known as anionic clays, has been established as a material that may be utilized to battle a variety of bacterial infections. The interesting properties of LDH include their ease of synthesis, unique structure, uniform distribution of different metal cations in the brucite layer, surface hydroxyl groups, flexible tunability, intercalated anions with interlayer spaces, swelling properties, oxo-bridged linkage, and high chemical and thermal stability, ability to intercalate different types of anions (inorganic, organic, biomolecules, and even genes), delivery of intercalated anions. In the field of biomaterials, LDH has gained prominence as a significant class of layered materials with promising applications. Here, emphasis has been placed on factors such as biocompatibility, anion exchange with the target ion, holding of guest species in the interlayer space, and controlled anion release in a given medium. By utilizing LDH's inherent biocompatibility, several studies have improved its antibacterial characteristics, enabling researchers to add active substances into its matrix for the treatment of bacterial-caused disease. Despite the fact that LDH's antibacterial capabilities have been the subject of several studies, there are currently very few reviews of such findings. Therefore, this study reviewed current developments in new LDH techniques to enhance their antimicrobial activity and provided background on their structures.

A green synthesis method utilizing Musa paradisiaca peel extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent was employed to produce iron oxide nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were extensively characterized using FTIR, XRD, DLS, SEM, EDX, and TEM techniques. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of iron metal and functional groups derived from the peel extract. XRD results indicated the presence of magnetite (Fe3O4) and/or maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) phases, signifying a high degree of crystallinity. DLS analysis provided valuable insights into the size distribution and polydispersity of the nanoparticles, revealing an average particle diameter of 43.35 nm and a polydispersity index of 0.612. SEM examination uncovered the presence of aggregated formations, where irregularly shaped nanoparticles exhibited either close packing or loose association, resulting in the formation of larger aggregates. These environmentally friendly iron oxide nanoparticles could potentially hold great promise for a variety of biological applications, including the potential for drug delivery and antimicrobial applications.

“…Secondly, by modifying the surface chemistry and/or utilizing certain NMs, they can specifically target particular areas of the body, thereby reducing the dosage required to treat various conditions [9][10][11]. Finally, many NMs possess unique properties that can increase their pharmaceutical relevance (e.g., antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant activities) [12][13][14].…”

The impact of exposing significant mouse organs to cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) has received considerable attention in the literature, but a comprehensive review on this topic is lacking. This review aims to address this gap by examining the influence of CeO2 NPs on the release rate of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in various organs of mice. CeO2 NPs have demonstrated potential therapeutic applications due to their ROS-scavenging abilities, which are relevant to oxidative stress-related diseases. Recent studies investigating the effect of CeO2 NPs on ROS release rate in organs such as the liver, spleen, lung, and brain are highlighted in this article. The findings reveal a complex interaction between CeO2 NPs and the ROS system, influenced by factors such as particle dose, size, and surface chemistry. Furthermore, the impact of CeO2 NPs on ROS release rate is organ-specific and dependent on the tissue microenvironment. The review also addresses the potential toxicity of CeO2 NPs and emphasizes the need for further research to better comprehend their mechanisms of action and long-term effects. By providing valuable insights into the influence of CeO2 NPs on ROS release rate in mice organs, this review holds significant implications for the therapeutic applications of CeO2 NPs in oxidative stress-related diseases. This review contributes to the existing body of knowledge by examining the impact of CeO2 NPs on ROS release rate in various mouse organs
