Article Abstract
Bismuth oxide nanoparticles with appropriate surface chemistry exhibit many interesting properties that can be utilized in a variety of applications. This paper describes a new route to the surface modification of bismuth oxide nanoparticles (BiO NPs) using functionalized beta-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a biocompatible system. The synthesis of BiO NP was done using PVA (poly vinyl alcohol) as the reductant and the Steglich esterification procedure for the functionalization of β-CD with biotin. Ultimately, the BiO NPs are modified using this functionalized β-CD system. The particle size of the synthesized BiO NPs is found to be in the range of 12-16 nm. The modified biocompatible systems were characterized using different characterization techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetric analysis (DSC). Additionally, the antibacterial and anticancerous effects of the surface-modified BiO NP system were also investigated.

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has a poor prognosis due to its immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), in which tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a pivotal role in promoting disease progression and therapeutic resistance. This study examines whether Prussian blue nanoparticles (PB NPs) could reprogram TAMs and block tumor-stroma communication in OSCC.
Methods: PB NPs were synthesized using polyvinylpyrrolidone-assisted coprecipitation and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

The development of multifunctional nanoplatforms capable of drug delivery and real-time cellular imaging remains a key challenge in cancer theranostics. Herein, we report the development of a casein-protected maleic acid-derived nitrogen-doped carbon dot-based luminescent nanoplatform (MNCD@Cas NPs) for efficient delivery of the anticancer drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) to triple-negative breast cancer cells. Synthesized via a facile two-step method, the MNCD@Cas NPs exhibit bright blue fluorescence (λ = 390 nm), high water dispersibility, excellent colloidal stability, and substantial DOX loading capacity (∼84%) driven by electrostatic interactions.

Objectives With the increase of () drug resistance, it is increasingly difficult to cure fundamentally. Frequent and excessive use of antibiotics can lead to disturbances in the intestinal flora and even inflammatory bowel disease, so new drugs are urgently needed. Luteolin (LUT) has been found to have antimicrobial effects, but its water solubility is very low, and the antimicrobial effect is not ideal.
