Nanoparticles (NPs) have played a pivotal role in various biomedical applications, spanning from sensing to drug delivery, imaging and anti-viral therapy. The therapeutic utilisation of NPs clinical trials was established the early 1990s. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) possess anti-microbial, anti-cancer properties, which make them possible combat COVID-19 virus. Free radicals reactive oxygen species are produced by AgNPs, causes apoptosis induction prevents viral contamination. shape size AgNPs can influence their interactions biological activities. Therefore, it is recommended that silver be used as valuable tool management pandemic. These strong anti-microbial allowing penetrate destroy microbial cells. Additionally, toxicity level depends on administered dose, surface modifications necessary reduce toxicity, preventing direct interaction between metal surfaces By utilising nanoparticles, drugs targeted specific areas body. For example, case COVID-19, stimulated lungs accelerate disease recovery. Nanoparticle-based systems capability transport treat body parts. This review offers an examination nanoparticle-based delivery for combatting with objective boosting bioavailability existing medications, decreasing raising efficiency.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 has majorly impacted public health and economies worldwide. Although several effective vaccines drugs are now used to prevent treat COVID-19, natural products, especially flavonoids, showed great therapeutic potential early in the thus attracted particular attention. Quercetin, baicalein, baicalin, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), luteolin among most studied flavonoids this field. Flavonoids can directly or indirectly exert antiviral activities, such as inhibition of virus invasion replication viral proteases. In addition, modulate levels interferon proinflammatory factors. We have reviewed previously reported relevant literature researching pharmacological anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity where structures, classifications, synthetic pathways, effects summarized. There is no doubt that treatment COVID-19. However, current research still theoretical stage. More studies recommended evaluate efficacy safety against SARS-CoV-2.

Asymmetric-flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) is a gentle, flexible, and powerful separation technique that widely utilized for fractionating nanometer-sized analytes, which extend to many emerging nanocarriers drug delivery, including lipid-, virus-, polymer-based nanoparticles. To ascertain quality attributes suitability of these nanostructures as delivery systems, particle size distributions, shape, morphology, composition, stability, it imperative comprehensive analytical tools be used characterize the native properties The capacity AF4 readily coupled multiple online detectors (MD-AF4) or non-destructively fractionated analyzed offline make this broadly compatible with multitude characterization strategies, can provide insight on size, mass, dispersity, other critical attributes. This review will critically investigate MD-AF4 reports characterizing nanoparticles in especially those reported last 10–15 years simultaneously downstream from fractionation.

Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) causes COVID‐19 disease. Through its viral spike (S) protein, the virus enters and infects epithelial cells by utilizing angiotensin‐converting enzyme as a host cell's receptor protein. pandemic had profound impact on global public health economies. Although various effective vaccinations medications are now available to prevent treat COVID‐19, natural compounds derived from medicinal plants, particularly flavonoids, demonstrated therapeutic potential Flavonoids exhibit dual antiviral mechanisms: direct interference with invasion inhibition of replication. Specifically, they target key molecules, proteases, involved in infection. These showcase significant immunomodulatory anti‐inflammatory properties, effectively inhibiting inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, emerging evidence supports flavonoids mitigate progression individuals obesity positively influencing lipid metabolism.

Tissue repair and regeneration are critical processes for maintaining the integrity function of various organs tissues. Recently, polysaccharide materials protein have garnered interest use in tissue strategies. However, polysaccharides more stable unaffected by temperature pH changes compared to proteins, some can provide stronger mechanical support, which is particularly important constructing tissue-engineered scaffolds wound dressings. This Review provides an in-depth overview origins polysaccharides, advantages materials, processing design In addition, potential restoration tissues such as skin, heart, nerves highlighted. Finally, we discuss depth challenges that still face repair, stability material, regulating characteristics deterioration rates under different conditions. To achieve effective regeneration, future research must focus on further improving functionalities materials.
