For more than 2 billion years, microbes have reigned on our planet, evolving or outlasting
many obstacles they have encountered. In the 20th century, this trend took a dramatic turn …

We show here that silver nanoparticles (AgNP) were intrinsically antibacterial, whereas gold
nanoparticles (AuNP) were antimicrobial only when ampicillin was bound to their surfaces …

Chemical methods provide an easy way to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) in
solution. These metal nanoparticles have a great potential for biomedical applications as an …

The formation of bacterial biofilms is a key factor in the emergence of chronic infections due
to the strong resistance of biofilms to conventional antibiotics. There is an urgent need to …

Biological efficiency of existing antimicrobial agents is still inadequate to ensure optimal
therapeutic index. Developing biocompatible advanced functional materials with …

Graphene oxide (GO) was functionalized by a simple reaction of its carboxylic acid groups
with a silanized-metalloid polymer, which gave the resulting hybrid GO the property of …

Glycopolymers are an important class of biomaterials which include carbohydrate moieties
in their polymer structure. In addition to biological research on the interactions of …
