The increasing number of multi-drug-resistant bacteria and cancer cases, that are a real threat to humankind, forces research world develop new weapons deal with it. Biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) considered as solution this problem. Biosynthesis AgNPs is regarded green, eco-friendly, low-priced process provides small biocompatible nanostructures antimicrobial anticancer activities potential application in medicine. biocompatibility these related the coating biomolecules natural origin. synthesis from actinobacterial strain was confirmed using UV-Vis spectroscopy while their morphology, crystalline structure, stability, were characterized using, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Zeta Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). Antibacterial activity biogenic evaluated by determination minimum inhibitory biocidal concentrations (MIC MBC) against Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staphylococcus aureus . mechanism antibacterial action determined measurement ATP level. Since use biomedical applications depend on safety, vitro cytotoxicity biosynthesized MCF-7 human breast cell line murine macrophage RAW 264.7 MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release reactive oxygen species (ROS) level assessed. nanoparticle protein capping agent can be involved reduction ions stabilization identified LC-MS/MS.

Intestinal immune homeostasis and microbiome structure play a critical role in the pathogenesis progress of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), whereas IBD treatment remains challenge as first-line drugs show limited therapeutic efficiency great side effect. In this study, colon-targeted adhesive core-shell hydrogel microsphere is designed fabricated by ingenious combination advanced gas-shearing technology ionic diffusion method, which can congregate on colon tissue regulating gut immune-microbiota microenvironment treatment. The degradation experiment indicates anti-acid property alginate shell, vivo imaging shows mucoadhesive ability thiolated-hyaluronic acid core microsphere, reduces systematic exposure prolongs local drug dwell time. addition, both vitro study demonstrate that significantly secretion pro-inflammatory cytokines, induces specific type 2 macrophage differentiation, remarkably alleviates colitis mice model. Moreover, 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing reveals an optimized flora composition, probiotics including Bifidobacterium Lactobacillus augment, while detrimental communities are inhibited, benefits intestinal homeostasis.
