Insights into the Mode of Action of Chitosan as an Antibacterial Compound
TL;DR: The antimicrobial mode of action of chitosan is investigated using a combination of approaches, including in vitro assays, killing kinetics, cellular leakage measurements, membrane potential estimations, and electron microscopy, in addition to transcriptional response analysis, and a possible mechanism for chitOSan's activity is postulated.

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using cranberry powder aqueous extract: characterization and antimicrobial properties
TL;DR: AgNPs were successfully synthesized from a silver nitrate solution through a simple green route, using cranberry powder aqueous extract as a reducing as well as capping agent and exhibited a substantial in vivo healing potential for full-thickness excision wounds in rats.
