Universal Platform Based on Carbon Nanotubes Functionalised with Carboxylic Acid Groups for Multi-Analyte Enzymatic Biosensing

Scientists have created a tiny biosensor platform using carbon nanotubes that can detect multiple important molecules in blood and food simultaneously. The sensor uses special enzymes that recognize glucose, lactate, glutamate, and dopamine, making it useful for monitoring diabetes, fatigue levels, and brain chemistry. By adding another enzyme called catalase, the sensor works even better and across a wider range of concentrations. Tests on real blood and food samples show the sensor accurately measures these important biomarkers, making it potentially valuable for both health monitoring and food quality testing.

Harnessing pycnidia-forming fungi for eco-friendly nanoparticle production, applications, and limitations

Certain types of fungi can produce tiny metal particles called nanoparticles that have useful properties. These fungi-made nanoparticles can kill bacteria, fight cancer cells, clean pollutants from water and soil, and be used in medicines and agriculture. Unlike traditional chemical methods for making nanoparticles, using fungi is cleaner and safer for the environment, though scientists still need to understand more about how they work and ensure they are safe to use widely.

Process Optimization for the Bioinspired Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using Cordyceps militaris, Its Characterization, and Assessment of Enhanced Therapeutic Efficacy

Scientists successfully created tiny gold particles using an edible mushroom called Cordyceps militaris instead of harsh chemicals. These gold nanoparticles are incredibly small (just 7 nanometers) and showed impressive healing potential against bacteria, diabetes-related enzymes, and even cancer cells in lab tests. The method is environmentally friendly, safe, and could lead to new medical treatments.

Harnessing pycnidia-forming fungi for eco-friendly nanoparticle production, applications, and limitations

Certain fungi called pycnidial fungi can create tiny particles called nanoparticles that are useful in medicine, agriculture, and environmental cleanup. These fungi naturally produce chemicals and enzymes that reduce metal ions into nanoparticles, which have antimicrobial and cancer-fighting properties. While this biological approach is more environmentally friendly than chemical methods, scientists still need to solve challenges like making it work at large scales and ensuring the nanoparticles are safe and stable.
