Functional Nanomaterials In article number 2101471, Igor Levchenko and co-workers overview compare at the technological level thermochemical plasma-based techniques for valorization of low negative value (waste biomass) products, with aim to use resulting products environmental remediation, energy storage, optoelectronics, biomedical, other applications, thus increase sustainability a wide rang...

Biogenic metallic nanoparticles (BMNPs) are nanostructure materials synthesized through biological processes that have gained significant attention due to their small size and high surface area-to-volume ratio. BMNPs several advantages over chemically ones eco-friendly synthesis regimen, sustainability, biocompatibility, diverse multifarious biomedical applications. Moreover, the superior cytoc...

The ocean covers about 70% of the earth surface providing a diverse living environment for invertebrates [1]. Therefore, marine natural products will play a major role in drug discovery in the future. The work on marine natural products started 59 years ago when Bergman discovered the novel bioactive Arabino-nucleoside from marine sponge Cryptotethya crypta [2]. This discovery encouraged natura...

This review discusses issues largely from the biological point of view about the targeted approaches for the use of natural products for the discovery of anti-diabetic drugs in collaboration with medicinal chemists and computer-aided drug design. A major thrust of this review reflects the collaborative research of four institutions: RMIT University (Australia), Garvan Institute of Medical Resea...

The field of health has always emphasised on the use of natural products for curing diseases. There are varieties of natural products (such as silk, herbal tea, chitosan) used today in the biomedical application in treating a large array of systemic diseases. The natural product "Propolis" is a non-toxic resinous material having beneficial properties such as antimicrobial, anticancer, antifunga...

Retroviruses are known as the causative agents of numerous animal disorders. In humans, this virus family is responsible for AIDS, certain forms of leukemias, and some neurologic disorders. The development in our laboratory of an ultrasensitive test for the retroviral enzyme reverse transcriptase has made possible detection of retroviruses present at very low concentration [1]. This test, the s...

the importance of nanotechnology in medical technologies, especially biomedical diagnostics, is indubitable. by taking advantages of nanomaterials, many medical diagnostics methods have been developed so far, including electrochemical nanobiosensors. they have been used for quantification of different clinical biomarkers for detecting, screening, or follow up a disease. micrornas (mirnas) are o...
