TL;DR: This review outlines new developments in the biomedical applications of environmentally friendly ('green') chitosan and ch itosan-blend electrospun nanofibers and Electrospinning is a novel technique for chitOSan nanofiber fabrication.

TL;DR: This review highlights the therapeutic approaches of using wound dressings functionalized with silver nanoparticles and their potential role in revolutionizing wound healing and the physiology of the skin and wounds is discussed to place the use of Ag-NPs in wound care into perspective.

TL;DR: This review illustrates recent advances in the field drug and small molecule delivery such as fluorouracil, folic acid, doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and daunorubsicin when using gold and iron oxide NPs as carriers of anticancer therapeutic agents.

TL;DR: In this article, a polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan/CeO2-NPs hydrogel was synthesized via the freeze-thaw technique with 0 to 1% (wt) 5nm cerium oxide nanoparticles and showed better antibacterial activities after just 12 hours (with MRSA but not E coli) and healthy human dermal fibroblast viabilities up to 5 days (more than 90%) compared to the control group.

TL;DR: The predictions of the model were in good agreement with experimental results and the Fe3O4/talc nanocomposite was successfully used to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions.
