Background/Goal/Aim: Plant extract is affordable and does not require any particular conditions; rapid production of nanoparticles using plants offers more advantages than other approaches. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have received much attention in the last decade due to SeNPs diverse and different applications. Herein, this study aimed to biosynthesize SeNPs using aqueous extract of Urtica dioica leaf through green and ecofriendly method. Moreover to fully characterize SeNPs using different techniques, and to evaluate it for antimicrobial activity as well as anticancer activity.Main Methods and Major Results: SeNPs were biosynthesis using aqueous leaf extract of U. dioica (stinging nettle). The biosynthesized SeNPs were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive electron spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermalgravimetric analysis (TGA). Antimicrobial and anticancer activities of biosynthesized SeNPs were assessed. Results illustrated that SeNPs exhibited promising antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as unicellular and multi-cellular fungi. Moreover, minimal-inhibitory concentration (MIC) of

“…Furthermore, Cu has several advantages: for instance, it is cheap, it is highly available, and its production in terms of nanoparticles is economical. Therefore, there are several studies on the use of Cu nanoparticles on phytopathogenic fungi [42,79,90,92,[152][153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160][161][162][163][164][165]. The main synthesis methods to obtain Cu nanoparticles for the control of this pathogen are mentioned in Table 2.…”

“…The main synthesis methods to obtain Cu nanoparticles for the control of this pathogen are mentioned in Table 2. The chemical synthesis methods include chemical reduction and hydrothermal [158][159][160][161][162][163][164], whereas biological synthesis with different extracts of plants is widely used for its naturalness and its zero toxicity concerning the environment [42,90,92,[154][155][156]. Finally, commercial nanoparticles, which are effective and easily acquired, have also been evaluated for the inhibition of phytopathogenic fungi [139,140,142,145,165].…”

The use of metal nanoparticles is considered a good alternative to control phytopathogenic fungi in agriculture. To date, numerous metal nanoparticles (e.g., Ag, Cu, Se, Ni, Mg, and Fe) have been synthesized and used as potential antifungal agents. Therefore, this proposal presents a critical and detailed review of the use of these nanoparticles to control phytopathogenic fungi. Ag nanoparticles have been the most investigated nanoparticles due to their good antifungal activities, followed by Cu nanoparticles. It was also found that other metal nanoparticles have been investigated as antifungal agents, such as Se, Ni, Mg, Pd, and Fe, showing prominent results. Different synthesis methods have been used to produce these nanoparticles with different shapes and sizes, which have shown outstanding antifungal activities. This review shows the success of the use of metal nanoparticles to control phytopathogenic fungi in agriculture.

“…Cu ions sterilization properties are due to the generation of hydroxyl radicals that oxidize bacterial proteins, lipids, DNA, and other (macro)molecules [ 117 ]. Noteworthy, numerous reports about copper nanoparticles for antimicrobial applications have been published recently [ 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 , 123 , 124 , 125 , 126 ]. The POSS particles can also be used as an immobilization agent for copper nanoparticles (Cu-NP).…”

Advanced organic-inorganic materials-composites, nanocomposites, and hybrids with various compositions offer unique properties required for biomedical applications. One of the most promising inorganic (nano)additives are polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS); their biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and phase separation ability that modifies the material porosity are fundamental properties required in modern biomedical applications. When incorporated, chemically or physically, into polyurethane matrices, they substantially change polymer properties, including mechanical properties, surface characteristics, and bioactivity. Hence, this review is dedicated to POSS-PU composites that have recently been developed for applications in the biomedical field. First, different modes of POSS incorporation into PU structure have been presented, then recent developments of PU/POSS hybrids as bio-active composites for scaffolds, cardiovascular stents, valves, and membranes, as well as in bio-imaging and cancer treatment, have been described. Finally, characterization and methods of modification routes of polyurethane-based materials with silsesquioxanes were presented.
