Data Mining a Medieval Medical Text Reveals Patterns in Ingredient Choice That Reflect Biological Activity against Infectious Agents [PDF]
, 2020 We used established methodologies from network science to identify patterns in medicinal ingredient combinations in a key medieval text, the 15th-century Lylye of Medicynes, focusing on recipes for topical treatments for symptoms of microbial infection ...

Investigation into the potential use of Poly (vinyl alcohol)/Methylglyoxal fibres as antibacterial wound dressing components [PDF]
, 2015 As problems of antibiotic resistance increase, a continuing need for effective bioactive wound dressings is anticipated for the treatment of infected chronic wounds. Naturally derived antibacterial agents, such as Manuka honey, consist of a mixture of compounds, more than one of which can influence antimicrobial potency. The non-peroxide bacteriostatic

Remarkable antibacterial activity of reduced graphene oxide functionalized by copper ions [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Despite long-term efforts for exploring antibacterial agents or drugs, it remains challenging how to potentiate antibacterial activity and meanwhile minimize toxicity hazards to the environment. Here, we experimentally show that the functionality of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) through copper ions displays selective antibacterial activity significantly

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Curcuma longa flower extract and antibacterial activity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Silver nanoparticles (AgNP's) possess inherent biological potentials that have obliged an alternative, eco-friendly, sustainable approach to "Green Synthesis." In the present study, we synthesized Green Silver Nanoparticles (GAgNP's) using Curcuma longa L. (C. longa) flower extract as a reducing and capping agent.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

Capping agent control over the physicochemical and antibacterial properties of ZnO nanoparticles [PDF]
Applied Surface Science 692 (2025) 162739Life science research has largely benefited from the use of nanoparticles (NPs), yet fundamental issues such as colloidal stability and control over NP size and shape affect NP properties and functions in biomedical applications. Here we show that including capping agents directly into zinc oxide (ZnO) NP synthesis can lead to better control of these ...
