TL;DR: These guidelines are presented for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: The results show that the antibacterial activities of silver nanoparticles are dependent on chemisorbed Ag+, which is readily formed owing to extreme sensitivity to oxygen.

TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles (nano-Ag) are potent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents and appear to be an efficient physicochemical system conferring antimicrobial silver activities.

TL;DR: The current understanding of anticancer gold complexes is summarized, including their mechanisms of action and the approaches adopted to improve their anticancer efficiency.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the toxicities of AgNPs in both bacteria and mammalian cells are enhanced in the presence of H(2)O(2), thereby highlighting the biological relevance of investigating the oxidative dissolution ofAgNPs.
