The rapid emergence of drug resistance continues to outpace the development of new
antibiotics in the treatment of infectious diseases. Conventional therapy is currently limited …

Cell membrane-coated (CMC) mimics are micro/nanosystems that combine an isolated cell
membrane and a template of choice to mimic the functions of a cell. The design exploits its …

Bacterial infections are the main cause of chronic infections and even mortality. In fact, due
to extensive use of antibiotics and, then, emergence of antibiotic resistance, treatment of …

Microbial infection is a severe concern, requiring the use of significant amounts of
antimicrobials/biocides, not only in the hospital setting, but also in other environments. The …

The threats posed by the impending “postantibiotic era” have put forward urgent challenges
to be overcome by providing new diagnostic and therapeutic regimes for improved …

In recent years, the functionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with
different types of responsive pore gatekeepers have shown great potential for the …

Humans are regularly exposed to silica nanoparticles in environmental and occupational
contexts, and these exposures have been implicated in the onset of adverse health effects …

Present work reports the green synthesis of chitosan functionalized silver nanoparticles (CS-
AgNPs) using ethanolic buds extract of Sygyzium aromaticum. CS-AgNPs were …

This work assesses the potential of mesoporous silica nanoparticles with or without a
chitosan coating to suppress Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum) in …

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) endowed with polymer coatings present a versatile
platform, offering notable advantages such as targeted, pH-controlled, and stimuli …
