TL;DR: This review highlights the methods of synthesis and presents the most recent reports in the literature regarding advances in drug delivery using IONPs-based systems, as well as their antimicrobial activity against different microorganisms.

TL;DR: Biofilm quantification assays revealed that the CHX nanosystem promoted similar or superior antibiofilm effects compared to its counterpart at 39 μg/mL and free CHX at 78 μg/ mL, highlighting the potential of CS-coated IONPs as preventive or therapeutic agents carrying CHX to fight biofilm-associated oral diseases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the drying kinetics and quality parameters of freeze-dried pineapple slices, according to the thickness and temperature of freezing, and found that the combination of temperature and humidity, both during the freeze drying process itself, and also during the rehydration step, influences the glass transition of the material which, in turn, affects the extent of structural collapse suffered by the product.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the drying kinetics and quality parameters - vitamin C content, rehydration and texture - of freeze-dried pineapple slices, according to the thickness and temperature of freezing.

TL;DR: In this paper , a multifunctional nanocomposite combining silver nanoaparticles (Ag), sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP), and fluoride (F) was used to prevent caries.
