Packaging is the sector where a significant portion of plastics are being used, and it has increased many folds after the recent pandemic. The plastic-based cutlery, cups, bowls, and plates have been commonly used in ready-to-eat packaged food, and they include mostly single-use plastic; thus, there is an urgent need for substitution with eco-friendly alternatives. The edible cups, bowls, and cutlery could be a promising alternative to the plastic counterparts. This review debated the current scenario in edible cutlery fabrication and characterization. The plant-based, eco-friendly edible flour materials are commonly used for fabricating edible cutlery such as bowls, cups, and spoons. The fortification and enrichment of additives into the edible cutlery and tableware were promising to improve the physical and functional performance. To develop edible cutlery, various flours such as millet, wheat, and rice have already been explored, and the results are promising for attaining sustainable development. The edible spoons prepared by using various flours such as finger millet and wheat flour with ashwagandha powder showed high proximate composition, including protein 5.96% and carbohydrates 85.73%. Similarly, the edible cutlery prepared using rice flour, wheat flour, and banana blossom powder resulted in a high water absorption capacity of 31.59% and showed high biodegradable capacity and decayed in 5 days. The use of this edible tableware not only reduces plastic waste issues but also makes our food healthier and nutrition-rich. Hence, this review aims to provide an overview of edible cutlery's needs and current status.","PeriodicalId":13704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biomaterials","volume":"2025 ","pages":"6206991"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12350001/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144845884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This interest is primarily due to their natural origin and historical evidence of their use in traditional medicine systems. These derivatives are a rich reservoir of chemical diversity that has a promising potential for the development and production of new antimicrobial agents with the least amount of side effects and risks of drug resistance. However, the delivery of plant-derived antimicrobial agents, especially through the topical route, poses significant challenges. As the largest organ of the body, the skin acts as a first barrier against the entrance of microbial pathogens. A primary limitation to transdermal delivery of plant-derived antimicrobial agents is their complex molecular structures, which often prevent effective absorption through the skin. Therefore, developing and promoting an effective local drug delivery system to increase the potential of antimicrobial therapy is very important and effective in public health. This review discusses delivery strategies for plant-derived antimicrobial agents aimed at the bioavailability and stability of these compounds as well as their mode of action, ensuring targeted delivery to the site of infection with long-lasting effects and minimizing side effects. Besides, various topical drug delivery platforms are analyzed, including nanoparticles, liposomes, and innovative application methods such as microneedles.","PeriodicalId":13704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biomaterials","volume":"2025 ","pages":"4251091"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12318629/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144775286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional drying methods often exhibit limitations such as extended drying time, loss of bioactive components, and decreased product quality. Novel drying methods have recently come to light as possible alternatives for drying medicinal plants. Reduced drying time, greater bioactive ingredient preservation, and improved product quality are just a few benefits of these novel methods. The bioactive components of medicinal plants can be preserved using these modern drying methods, which also provide possibilities for improved processing efficiency, less energy utilization, and increased product stability. However, while choosing a drying method, it is important to take into account the distinctive features of the medicinal plant, the desired quality attributes, and the economic feasibility.

Methods: Forty simulated curved root canals in resin blocks were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 10): Reciproc Blue (RCB), V-Blue, One Plex, and S-ONE. Images of the simulated root canals were captured before and after instrumentation. The two layers were processed and superimposed using specialized software. Eleven points (Levels 0-10) were selected at 1-mm intervals starting from the apex for evaluation. The amount of resin removed from both the inner (X1) and outer sides (X2) of the root canal, as well as the final canal width (Y), were measured. The centering ratio was calculated using the formula (X1 - X2)/Y to assess the centering ability of the instruments. Apically extruded debris was collected during the root preparation. Results: The preparation times for the root canal were as follows: One Plex > RCB > V-Blue > S-ONE (p < 0.001). All four Ni-Ti files were effective in straightening the root canal, with no significant difference in curvature change (p > 0.05). At the apex, One Plex exhibited significantly greater deviation compared with the other three groups (p < 0.05). At Levels 7-8, the deviation with RCB was significantly greater than with One Plex and S-ONE (p < 0.01). The amount of apical debris extrusion in the One Plex group was significantly higher than that in the others (p < 0.01). Conclusions: S-ONE demonstrated the best centering ability compared with other groups. In contrast, One Plex produced the highest amount of apical debris extrusion and exhibited transportation at the apical foramen. At Levels 6-8, RCB exhibited excessive removal of the inner canal wall relative to S-ONE and One Plex.","PeriodicalId":13704,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biomaterials","volume":"2025 ","pages":"2161833"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12253992/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144626240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biological efficacies (antioxidant and antibacterial properties) of nanofibers impregnated with the nanogel containing the EO were finally investigated. As a result, the five major identified compounds were ethyl trifluoromethyl disulfide (33.6%), β-pinene (15.1%), δ-3-carene (6.6%), dihydro-β-agarofuran (6.0%), and γ-eudesmol (5.5%).

Nanofibers with a hydrophobic surface (contact angle (θ) 107°) impregnated with the nanogel demonstrated remarkable antibacterial efficacy, inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by nearly 100% and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by 90%.

The 0.3% CMET group markedly enhanced odontogenic differentiation by upregulating mRNA of odontogenic differentiation markers such as DSPP and DSP-1. Mineral nodule formation in MDPC-23 cells grown in the 0.3% CMET group was markedly increased compared to that in the control group. After treating the cells with the three MAPK inhibitors, the ability of CMET to stimulate ALP activity in MDPC-23 cells was totally suppressed to control levels by the p38 inhibitor, SB202190. The enhancement of mineralization of MDPC-23 by CMET was partially impeded by SB202190. The results demonstrated that the biofunctional monomer CMET induced proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of odontoblast-like cells in a 3D culture system using type I collagen gel at a concentration of 0.3%.
