    Abstract Context: The antimicrobial potential of conventional medicaments is reduced due to their limited permeability. The use of calcium hydroxide (CH) is known to reduce the root strength. Nano intracanal medicaments have the following advantages over conventional such as higher surface area and chemical reactivity, and due to its nanosize, have better penetrability, supporting its possible use as an intracanal medicament. Nano versions of CH, chitosan (CS), CS + CH, curcumin (T), and its conventional forms are used in our study.
    Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the depth of penetration of nanosized intracanal medicaments and their effect on fracture resistance of root dentin.
    Materials and methods: Eighty extracted single-rooted teeth were used after decoronation. Canals were enlarged up to size 30 (0.04° taper) using Neoendo instruments (Orikam, India). Teeth were randomly assigned to two broad groups based on the type of intracanal medicament used; Group A: control (conventional) (
    Results: The highest fracture resistance was seen with NCS and the maximum depth of penetration with nano calcium hydroxide (NCH).
    Conclusion: The fracture resistance and depth of penetration at a 4-week interval were higher in nano forms compared to their micro-sized counterparts with all groups. The coronal section presented the highest depth of penetration of intracanal medicaments followed by the middle and least in the apical section of root dentin with all groups.

    Abstract The search for antiviral medications is greatly influenced by the hunt for potent inhibitors of viral proteins. To find possible inhibitors of the RNA binding activity of the Marburg virus VP35 protein, we used a thorough in silico drug discovery approach in this investigation. A comprehensive virtual screening process, followed by a detailed MMGBSA analysis, led to the discovery of four potential inhibitory compounds viz. Kudzuisoflavone A, Miquelianin, Rutin, and Protopseudohypericin. They were identified from an extensive library of phytomolecules derived from three medicinal plants:

    Abstract The need for antimicrobial or antibacterial fabric has increased exponentially in recent past years, especially after the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Several studies have been conducted, and the primary focus is the development of simple, automated, performance efficient and cost-efficient fabric for disposable and frequent-use items such as personal protective materials. In this regard, we have explored the light-driven antibacterial activity of water-soluble Sdots for the first time. Sdots are a new class of non-metallic quantum dots of the nanosulfur family having a polymeric sulfur core. These Sdots exhibited excellent antibacterial activity by generating reactive oxygen species under sunlight or visible light. Under 6 h of sunlight irradiation, it was observed that >90% of the bacterial growth was inhibited in the presence of Sdots. Furthermore, low toxic Sdots were employed to develop antibacterial fabric for efficiently cleaning the bacterial infection. The prominent zone of inhibition of up to 9 mm was observed post 12 h incubation of Sdots treated fabric with

    Abstract Lately, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasing at an exponential rate making it important to search alternatives to antibiotics in order to combat multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections. Out of the several antibacterial and antibiofilm strategies being tested, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have shown to give better hopes in terms of a long-lasting solution to the problem. To select a desired AMP, it is important to make right use of available tools and databases that aid in identification, classification, and analysis of the physiochemical properties of AMPs. To identify the targets of these AMPs, it becomes crucial to understand their mode-of-action. AMPs can also be used in combination with other antibacterial and antibiofilm agents so as to achieve enhanced efficacy against bacteria and their biofilms. Due to concerns regarding toxicity, stability, and bioavailability, strategizing drug formulation at an early-stage becomes crucial. Although there are few concerns regarding development of bacterial resistance to AMPs, the evolution of resistance to AMPs occurs extremely slowly. This comprehensive review gives a deep insight into the selection of the right AMP, deciding the right target and combination strategy along with the type of formulation needed, and the possible resistance that bacteria can develop to these AMPs.

    Abstract Treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is very challenging as only few therapeutic options are available, including chemotherapy. Thus, a constant search for new and effective approaches of therapy that could potentially fight against TNBC and mitigate side effects is "turn-on". Recently, multitarget therapy has come up with huge possibilities, and it may possibly be useful to overcome several concurrent challenges in cancer therapy. Herein, we proposed the inhibition of both Topoisomerase II enzyme and p53-MDM2 (p53 cavity in MDM2) protein complex by the same bioactive molecules for multitarget therapy. RNA-seq analysis was performed to get a network of essential proteins involved in the apoptosis pathway by considering the triple-negative breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231). All of the untreated duplicate sample data were retrieved from NCBI (GSC149768). Further, via

    Abstract Due to the enhanced resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, researchers always try to find effective alternatives to treat drug-resistant bacterial infections. In this context, we have explored antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are a broad class of small peptide molecules, and investigated their efficacy as potent antibacterial and antibiofilm agents. AMPs can cause cell death either through disruption of the cell membrane or by inhibiting vital intracellular functions, by binding to RNA, DNA, or intracellular components upon transversion through the cell membrane. We attempted to find potent intracellular cationic AMPs that can demonstrate antibacterial activity through interaction with DNA. As a source of AMPs, we have utilized those that are secreted from the human microbiome with the anticipation that these will be non-toxic in nature. Out of the total 1087 AMPs, 27 were screened on the basis of amino acid length and efficacy to cross the cell membrane barrier. From the list of 27 peptides, 4 candidates were selected through the docking score of these peptides with the DNA binding domain of H2A proteins. Further, the molecular dynamics simulation analysis demonstrated that 2 AMPs, i.e., peptides 7 and 25, are having considerable membrane permeation and DNA binding ability. Further, the in vitro analysis indicated that both peptides 7 and 25 could exhibit potent antibacterial and antibiofilm activities. In order to further enhance the antibiofilm potency, the above AMPs were used as supplements to silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) to get synergistic activity. The synergistic activity of Ag NCs was found to be significantly increased with both the above AMPs.

    Abstract Micro/nanobots are integrated devices developed from engineered nanomaterials that have evolved significantly over the past decades. They can potentially be pre-programmed to operate robustly at numerous hard-to-reach organ/tissues/cellular sites for multiple bioengineering applications such as early disease diagnosis, precision surgeries, targeted drug delivery, cancer therapeutics, bio-imaging, biomolecules isolation, detoxification, bio-sensing, and clearing up clogged arteries with high soaring effectiveness and minimal exhaustion of power. Several techniques have been introduced in recent years to develop programmable, biocompatible, and energy-efficient micro/nanobots. Therefore, the primary focus of most of these techniques is to develop hybrid micro/nanobots that are an optimized combination of purely synthetic or biodegradable bots suitable for the execution of user-defined tasks more precisely and efficiently. Recent progress has been illustrated here as an overview of a few of the achievable construction principles to be used to make biomedical micro/nanobots and explores the pivotal ventures of nanotechnology-moderated development of catalytic autonomous bots. Furthermore, it is also foregrounding their advancement offering an insight into the recent trends and subsequent prospects, opportunities, and challenges involved in the accomplishments of the effective multifarious bioengineering applications.
