Manganese-based nanomaterials have seen rapid development in chemodynamic therapy and T₁-enhanced MRI over the past five years, holding promising prospects in various combined applications.

The zein/WH/LEVO scaffolds have significant effects on promoting bone regeneration, especially for the favorable osteogenic, intensive angiogenic, and alleviated inflammation abilities. The synthesized scaffolds would be used as a suitable material for bone regeneration.

The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant (AR) bacterial strains and biofilm-associated diseases have heightened concerns about exploring alternative bactericidal methods.

Burns are a global public health problem, which brings great challenges to public health and the economy.

Nanotechnology revolutionizes breast cancer treatment by improving drug delivery, overcoming barriers, and reducing side effects. This review highlights its potential and superiority over conventional methods, transforming breast cancer management.

Magnetic nanocomposite prepared by electron beam physical vapor deposition and magneto-mechanochemical synthesis improves antitumor effect and visualization in cancer nanotheranostics.

Copper complexes and temozolomide can be co-encapsulated within apoferritin.

In this article, we reported a specific magnesium phosphate bone cement which showed good physical, chemical properties, and excellent osteogenesis-promoting ability under near-infrared light intervention.

In this study, the PDA-Cur NPs has been successfully synthesized and proved to be an anticancer agent with better photostability and increased utilization of curcumin in PDT.

Nanoparticle-hydrogel systems are versatile biomaterials that possess numerous advantages for biomedical applications. This review focuses on the application of the nanoparticle-hydrogels system for the delivery of antimicrobial agents.

The global community is faced with numerous health concerns such as cancer, cardiovascular and neurological diseases, diabetes, joint pain, osteoporosis, among others.

Disulfiram (DSF) can target and kill cancer cells by disrupting cellular degradation of extruded proteins and has therefore received particular attention for its tumor chemotherapeutic potential.

Illustration of the mechanism of NbC/TA–GelMA hydrogel with multifunctional properties for potential application in oral mucosal impairment.

HA-coated redox sensitive visualized nano-prodrug HA/TPE-CS-SS-PTX were exploited in order to highly efficient treatment of cancer and real-time monitoring of drug localization.

Most MOFs for controllable cancer treatment act as drug delivery vehicle and/or anti-cancer agent. Molecules with anti-cancer roles such as chemotherapies, gases, peptides or nucleic acids can be loaded into MOFs that decompose in cancer cells or in the TME to release its cargoes.

Analytical technique for monitoring skin-emitted metabolites to diagnose diseases.

Modified niosomes possessing pH-responsive properties were developed for delivery of antineoplastic agents.

Zymosan/ι-carrageenan/agarose hydrogel (antitumor) as tumor targeting (M2 to M1 genes) and wound healing material.

Andrzej Zieliński and Beata Majkowska-Marzec introduce the RSC Advances themed collection on nano and microscale modifications of biomaterials.

Antibacterial hydrogels have gained considerable attention for soft tissue repair, particularly in preventing infections associated with wound healing.

Ca-phosphate/-silicate ceramic granules have been widely studied because their abilities of biodegradable, bioactive ion release and material degradation; however, it is difficult to synergise time-dependent ion release and highly efficient osteogenesis in vivo.

Nano-based approaches, particularly nanogels, have recently emerged as a potential strategy for combating biofilm-related infections.

This review summarized the function of cancer cell membranes and comprehensively discussed the preparation of cancer cell membrane-coated nanoparticles (CCM-NPs) and their application in anti-tumor therapy. The graphical abstract figure was drawn by Figdraw (https://www.figdraw.com).
