TL;DR: Novel porous scaffolds composed of chitosan, collagen and gelatin were prepared by the multistep procedure involving final freeze-drying and characterized and showed good antioxidant properties, and especially very low in vitro cytotoxicity against fibroblasts were highly advantageous for possible biomedical applications of the novel materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photocatalytic activity was estimated by measuring the decomposition rate of phenol in 0.2mM aqueous solution under Vis and UV/vis light irradiation.

TL;DR: Current state on knowledge is discussed with emphasis on the possibilities of application of PHs in the context of therapeutics for infections caused by staphylococci, and some PHs strengthen the bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity of common antibiotics.

TL;DR: Investigation of in vitro antifungal activity of selected essential oils, ethanolic extracts of propolis and silver nanoparticles dropped on TiO2 against azole-resistant C. albicans, C. glabrata and C. krusei revealed that constituents of most of essential oils and propolis are not substrates for drug transporters, which belong to the most important factors affecting resistance of Candida spp.

TL;DR: A number of honey samples showed potential as effective antimicrobial agents and were darker honeys, with strong yellow colour component, rich in phenolics, with high conductivity and water content, which helped to understand better the factors impacting the antibacterial activity.
