TL;DR: Since leaching did not occur with micrometer-sized CuO, no cytotoxicty effect was observed, thus highlighting the prominence of materials toxicity at the nanoscale.

TL;DR: Management of biofilm growth in water distribution systems requires an integrated approach, starting from the treatment of water prior to entering the networks to the potential implementation of "biofilm-limiting" operational conditions and, finally, ending with the careful selection of available technologies for biofilm monitoring and control.

TL;DR: Taken together, the knowledge on the formation and biological effects of protein corona enables tailored tuning of the physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles, unique to their intended biological activity.

TL;DR: It was reported recently that the antimicrobial mechanism of silver nanoparticles was related to protein/membrane damage of E. coli but not to DNA damage, and the ‘‘tuning’’ of its antimicrobial activity, to the best of the authors' knowledge, has never been reported.

TL;DR: Rhombohedral-shaped nanoceria were synthesized by flame spray pyrolysis with tuneable particle diameters between 3 and 94 nm by changing the liquid precursor flow rate, and allnanoceria particle sizes examined were equally effective in scavenging intracellular ROS.
