Metal oxide NPs (MeONPs) have been identified as novel phytomedicine and have recently peaked a lot of interest due to their potential applications in combating phytopathogens, besides enhancing plant growth and yields. Numerous MeONPs (Ti 2 O, MgO, CuO, Ag 2 O, SiO 2 , ZnO, and CaO) have been synthesized and tested to validate their antimicrobial roles without causing toxicity to the cells. This review discusses the application of the MeONPs with special emphasis on anti-microbial activities in agriculture and enlists how cellular toxicity caused through reactive oxygen species (ROS) production affects plant growth, morphology, and viability. This review further highlights the two-facet role of silver and copper oxide NPs including their antimicrobial applications and toxicities. Furthermore, the factor modulating nanotoxicity and immunomodulation for cytokine production has also been discussed. Thus, this article will not only provide the researchers with the potential bottlenecks but also emphasizes a comprehensive outline of breakthroughs in the applicability of MeONPs in agriculture.

The heterogenous organic and inorganic composite structure of lignocellulosic biomass comprises numerous morphologies, particle size and properties. The cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and other organic components with acetyl groups, minerals, and phenolic compounds are found in the biomass as principal ingredients. This review article describes the use of lignocellulosic biomass as sustainable source of energy in solid, liquid and gas with its readiness level in climate neutral energy production. The efficacy of various used physical, chemical, and biological treatments on biomass are discussed with their effect on biomass during conversion of energy sources. Further, the properties of derived energy generations to solid, liquid and gas are described in comparison to commercially used fuels to create a measurable standardization towards their sustainable functions. Data from India's case-study is analyzed in the light of new programs encouraging net-zero utility of lignocellulose biomass.

medicine. It has been able to provide special perspectives to the probe and control
a variety of biological along with medical processes that take place at nanometer
scales. Nanoparticles offer some advantages like sensing, image enhancement,
and delivery agents. These are the approaches for exploiting nanotechnology in
medicine as well as in the health care sector. Nanobiosensors are nano-scaled
quantifiable devices, those involve nano-conjugated biological particulars as a
transducing system to detect the minute quanta of any physical, chemical, or
biological analytes. The appearance of nanobiosensors has actually developed the
detection of many disorders like cancer, allergic responses, diabetes, and many
other diseases and malfunctions related to these diseases. The present review
comprehensively scrutinizes various types of cancer detection biosensors
fabricated so far along with their technical evaluation regarding the potency and
efficiency of selected bioreceptors biotransducers. For the diagnosis as well as
monitoring of prostate cancer, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been
identified and considered as the most valid clinical tool. By using amperometric
immunosensor, prostate cancer can be monitored. For lung cancer detection a
new rapid, as well as sensitive technique for screening, is required. With this
approach, for the identification of many major disease biomarkers through sensitive, easy as well as rapid applications, biosensors have provided a promising
technology as diagnostics tools. In this paper we discuss about lung cancer,
prostate cancer, brain cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

The past decade has witnessed significant advances in medically implantable and wearable device technologies as a promising personal healthcare platform An applied pressing factor causes the development of the dipole second inside the material. On account of biomedical designing, numerous customary methods for utilizing piezoelectric gadgets are appropriate because of the construction of organic frameworks. Issues, for example, size impediments, natural similarity, and adaptability have prompted examination concerning polymer, composite, nanostructured, and without lead piezoelectric materials. One approach to creating biomedical gadgets is to take a gander at the piezoelectric designs inside the body and how they can be imitated to create piezoelectric clinical innovation.

Factors such as industrialisation, population expansion, and climate change are compounding the scarcity of clean water. In this context, self-driven, programmable micro-and nano-scale synthetic robots offer a potential solution for enhancing water monitoring and remediation. With the aid of these innovative robots, diffusion-limited reactions can be overcome, allowing for active engagement with target pollutants, such as heavy metals, dyes, nano-and micro-plastics, oils, pathogenic microorganisms, and persistent organic pollutants. Herein, we introduced and reviewed recent influential and advanced studies on micro-/nanorobots (MNR) carried out over the past decade. Typical works are categorized by propulsion modes, analyzing their advantages and drawbacks in detail and looking at specific applications. Moreover, this review provides a concise overview of the contemporary advancements and applications of micro-/ nano-robots in water-cleaning applications.

Conventional therapeutic strategies mainly target rapidly dividing cancer cells, but often indiscriminately harm healthy cells in the process. As a result, there is a growing interest in exploring novel therapies that are both effective and less toxic to normal cells. Herbs have long been used as natural remedies for various diseases and conditions. Some herbal compounds exhibit potent anti-cancer properties, making them potential candidates for nutraceutical-based treatments. However, despite their promising efficacy, there are considerable limitations in utilizing herbal preparations due to their poor solubility, low bioavailability, rapid metabolism and excretion, as well as potential interference with other medications. Nanotechnology offers a unique platform to overcome these challenges by encapsulating he...
