Article Abstract
There is a strong interest in studying the cellular uptake of silica nanoparticles, particularly at medically relevant concentrations (ppb-ppm range) to understand their toxicology. At present, uptake analysis at these exposure levels is impeded by the high silica background concentration. Here we describe the use of DNA encapsulated within silica particles as a tool to quantify silica nanoparticles in in vitro cell-uptake experiments at low concentrations (down to 10 fg cell(-1)).

Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is one of the most common food-borne diseases, highlighted as the top food-borne bacterial pathogen in the world with a low infectious dose (1 CFU) and high mortality rate. It is commonly associated with numerous foods such as dairy products, protein sources (multiple types of meat, poultry, and eggs), and bakery products.

The development of effective hemostatic and antibacterial dressings remains a critical challenge in wound management. We report the design and fabrication of novel porous composite hydrogels composed of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), silica (SiO), and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) . The incorporation of SiO and ZnO NPs into the CMC hydrogel matrix resulted in a unique multi-scale porous structure, characterized by interconnected holes of various sizes, which significantly enhanced the hydrogel's liquid absorption capacity and mechanical strength.

Silica nanoparticles (SiONPs), as emerging foliar nanofertilizers, demonstrate promising potential in agriculture. However, whether foliar application of SiONPs alters belowground soil metabolites and microbe composition and abundance remains largely unknown. In this study, 3-week-old cucumber plants were foliar-sprayed with fumed or Stöber SiO NPs dosing at -4 mg of NPs per plant for 5 days.

Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of global cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with inflammatory and immunological mechanisms. Immunotherapy has demonstrated promising efficacy in the management of atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, certain immunotherapeutic approaches are associated with limitations, including suboptimal efficacy and non-negligible adverse effects.

Streptococcosis, caused by , is a significant disease in tilapia farming that results in substantial economic losses. While vaccination is the most effective method for prevention, current vaccines face challenges when administered orally or through immersion, primarily due to poor absorption and degradation in the fish's digestive system. Nanotechnology offers new ways to improve vaccine delivery and effectiveness.
