Employing natural-based renewable sugar and saccharide resources to construct functional biopolymer mimics is a promising research frontier for green chemistry and sustainable biotechnology. As the mimics/analogues of natural glycoproteins, synthetic glycopolypeptides attracted great attention in the field of biomaterials and nanobiotechnology. This review describes the synthetic strategies and methods of glycopolypeptides and their analogues, the functional self-assemblies of the synthesized glycopolypeptides, and their biological applications such as biomolecular recognition, drug/gene delivery, and cell adhesion and targeting, as well as cell culture and tissue engineering. Future outlook of the synthetic glycopolypeptides was also discussed.

: Nanobiotechnology has huge potential in the field of regenerative medicine. One of the main drivers has been the development of novel nanomaterials. One developing class of materials is graphene and its derivatives recognized for their novel properties present on the nanoscale. In particular, graphene and graphene-based nanomaterials have been shown to have excellent electrical, mechanical, optical and thermal properties. Due to these unique properties coupled with the ability to tune their biocompatibility, these nanomaterials have been propelled for various applications. Most recently, these two-dimensional nanomaterials have been widely recognized for their utility in biomedical research. In this review, a brief overview of the strategies to synthesize graphene and its derivatives are discussed. Next, the biocompatibility profile of these nanomaterials as a precursor to their biomedical application is reviewed. Finally, recent applications of graphene-based nanomaterials in various biomedical fields including tissue engineering, drug and gene delivery, biosensing and bioimaging as well as other biorelated studies are highlighted.

This paper presents a facile synthesis of nano-silica by hydrothermal treatment assisted by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The effect of CTAB on the morphology of the material was also investigated. Structure, morphology, and composition of the material were studied byvarious methods such as XRD, SEM, FT-IR, and EDX.The results showed that a sample of nanosilica with amount of 1,0 g CTAB at pH 10-11 reached the most appropriate size, with the average length and width are 231,34±48,98 nm và 113,05±16,45 nm, respectively. In addition, the results indicated that the nanoparticles are completely pure, with many silanol groups on the surface, suitable for applications in bone tissue engineering and other biological applications.

Nanofiber substrates have been used for various biomedical applications, including tissue regeneration, drug delivery, and in-vitro cell culture. However, despite the high volume of studies in this field, current clinical applications remain minimal. Innovations for their applications continuously generate exciting prospects. In this review, we discuss some of these novel innovations and identify critical factors to consider before their adoption for biomedical applications.

Laponite based nanomaterials (LBNMs) are highly diverse regarding their mechanical, chemical, and structural properties, coupled with shape, size, mass, biodegradability and biocompatibility. These ubiquitous properties of LBNMs make them appropriate materials for extensive applications. These have enormous potential for effective and targeted drug delivery comprised of numerous biodegradable materials which results in enhanced bioavailability. Moreover, the clay material has been explored in tissue engineering and bioimaging for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. The material has been profoundly explored for minimized toxicity of nanomedicines. The present review compiled relevant and informative data to focus on the interactions of laponite nanoparticles and application in drug delivery, tissue engineering, imaging, cell adhesion and proliferation, and in biosensors. Eventually, concise conclusions are drawn concerning biomedical applications and identification of new promising research directions.

Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) comprise of nanoparticles originating from metallic elements with additional properties inherent to metal ions. MNPs found applications in various field such as electronics, optics, mechanics, physics etc. There are many reviews on iron MNPs for biomedical application. Hence, in this review, we focus on non-iron MNPs and their vivid biomedical applications. Here, we review the applications of non-iron MNPs in biomedicine such as drug delivery, gene delivery, anticancer activity, antimicrobial activity, tissue engineering, bioimaging, and photodynamic, and photothermal therapies.
