Efficacy of PVX and PEGylated PVX as intratumoral immunotherapy

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed an improved version of a plant virus particle called potato virus X (PVX) by coating it with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to use as a cancer treatment. When injected directly into tumors, these PVX-PEG particles stimulate the body’s immune system to attack cancer cells. The PEG coating makes the treatment more stable, longer-lasting in tumors, and less likely to be rejected by antibodies from prior exposure to plant viruses, while maintaining its cancer-fighting effectiveness.

Biosynthesis of bimetallic silver–copper oxide nanoparticles using endophytic Clonostachys rosea ZMS36 and their biomedical applications

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered a special fungus living inside a medicinal plant that can create tiny silver-copper nanoparticles with powerful antibacterial and anti-cancer properties. These nanoparticles successfully fought dangerous bacteria like MRSA and slowed the growth of cancer cells while being safe to healthy cells. This green manufacturing method is much more environmentally friendly than traditional chemical approaches and could lead to new treatments for infections and cancer.

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.

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Eucommia ulmoides extract and their potential biological function in cosmetics

mycolabadmin

Scientists created tiny silver particles using a Chinese medicinal plant extract and found they could help skin look lighter and younger. These particles work by reducing dark pigments and protecting skin from oxidative damage. The nanoparticles were safe at low doses and didn’t harm skin cells, making them promising for use in cosmetic products.

Extracellular Biosynthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized by Filamentous Fungi

mycolabadmin

Researchers used three types of common fungi to create tiny silver particles in an environmentally friendly way. These silver nanoparticles were found to effectively kill harmful bacteria and fungal infections. The fungus Cladosporium cladosporoides was the most effective at producing these particles, showing promise for use in medical and health applications.

Ganoderma lucidum inspired silver nanoparticles and its biomedical applications with special reference to drug resistant Escherichia coli isolates from CAUTI

mycolabadmin

Researchers created tiny silver particles using a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma lucidum to fight dangerous bacteria that resist antibiotics and are associated with urinary catheter infections. These nanoparticles were found to effectively kill drug-resistant bacteria, work as antioxidants better than a common antioxidant standard, and showed promise in killing breast cancer cells. This eco-friendly approach offers a natural alternative to conventional antibiotics for treating serious antibiotic-resistant infections.

Formulation, characterization, and in vitro antifungal evaluation of liposomal terbinafine prepared by the ethanol injection method

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed a new way to deliver the antifungal drug terbinafine using tiny fat-based particles called liposomes. These particles are designed to carry the drug more effectively to infected tissues while reducing harmful side effects. The optimized formulation showed promise for treating stubborn fungal infections, especially those affecting the brain, with significantly reduced toxicity compared to the drug alone.

Microbial-Based Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: A Comparative Review of Bacteria- and Fungi-Mediated Approaches

mycolabadmin

Scientists have developed environmentally friendly ways to create tiny silver particles using bacteria and fungi instead of harsh chemicals. These silver nanoparticles can fight bacteria, help treat cancer, clean contaminated water, and improve food packaging. The review shows that bacteria produce particles quickly but fungi are better for large-scale production and create more stable particles.

Microbial-Based Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: A Comparative Review of Bacteria- and Fungi-Mediated Approaches

mycolabadmin

Scientists are developing environmentally friendly ways to make silver nanoparticles using bacteria and fungi instead of harsh chemicals. These tiny particles show promise in fighting infections, treating cancer, cleaning water, and protecting crops. The review compares how bacteria and fungi each produce these particles and explains how different conditions affect their properties and effectiveness.

Chlorophyllum molybdites-synthesized manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO-NPs): morphology, biocompatibility, and anticancer properties against liver cancer (HepG2) cell line

mycolabadmin

Researchers successfully created tiny manganese oxide particles using a wild mushroom called Chlorophyllum molybdites through an environmentally friendly process. These nanoparticles showed strong cancer-fighting ability against liver cancer cells and were effective against a parasite that causes leishmaniasis. The particles were safe for human use with minimal damage to healthy blood cells, making them promising candidates for developing new cancer and parasitic disease treatments.
