TL;DR: This review focuses on the properties and applications of inorganic nanostructured materials and their surface modifications, with good antimicrobial activity, and the role of different NP materials.

TL;DR: A review on metal ion containing coordination polymer networks is given in this paper, where the authors highlight the current research in the field by giving a short overview on the concept of coordination polymers networks, how and why they are made.

TL;DR: Silver, known in metallic form since antiquity, has very early been recognized by mankind for its antimicrobial properties, a phenomenon observed in the context of drinking water, food, water storage recipients, and medicine.

TL;DR: This is the first report investigating the global metabolic effects of silver in the context of a therapeutic application, and it is demonstrated that silver ions inactivate enzymes by binding sulfhydryl (thiol) groups in amino acids and promote the release of iron with subsequent hydroxyl radical formation by an indirect mechanism likely mediated by reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the recent results in the field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is presented, bringing together the systematic approaches with results obtained by serendipity to give an overview on current and future possibilities.
