Summary: Cerium oxide nanoparticles have wide applications in biomedical fields, but their safety and biocompatibility pose challenges. Polysaccharides can be used as coatings for cerium oxide nanoparticles, affecting their properties. This review explores the impact of biopolymer coatings on size, stability, aggregation, and biocompatibility of cerium oxide nanoparticles, as well as their applications in bone tissue regeneration, liver inflammation, wound healing, and antibacterial and anticancer activities. Biocompatible cerium oxide nanoparticles will enhance their biomedical applications.

Summary: This research investigates the photocatalytic degradation of piroxicam and naproxen using CeO2 nanoparticles synthesized from Azadirachta indica plant extract. The results showed that the nanoparticles efficiently removed the pharmaceutical drugs with photodegradation efficiencies of 89% and 97% for naproxen and piroxicam, respectively. The photocatalytic process followed pseudo-order first-order kinetics, and the catalyst showed good recyclability with a degradation efficiency of 100% up to the 2nd cycle.

Summary: An elegant method for synthesizing nanocomposites consisting of cerium-containing nanoparticles stabilized by carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) macromolecules at room temperature was introduced in this study. The nanocomposites were characterized using microscopy, XRD, and IR spectroscopy analysis. The crystal structure of the inorganic nanoparticles, corresponding to CeO2, was determined and a mechanism for nanoparticle formation was proposed. The study demonstrated that the size and shape of the nanoparticles in the resulting nanocomposites were independent of the ratio of the initial reagents. Spherical particles with a mean diameter of 2-3 nm were obtained in different reaction mixtures with a cerium mass fraction ranging from 6.4% to 14.1%. The study also proposed a dual stabilization scheme for CeO2 nanoparticles involving carboxylate and hydroxyl groups of CMC. These findings suggest that the easily reproducible technique has promise for the large-scale development of nanoceria-containing materials.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of nano-ceria and nano-zirconia particles on the weather resistance property of polyurethane coatings. The results show that both nano-ceria and nano-zirconia have the potential to enhance the weather resistance performance of PU-coated fabrics, and the weather resistance improves gradually with increasing nanoparticle concentration. Nano-ceria has a better effect on improving weather resistance compared to nano-zirconia, especially at higher concentrations.

Summary: Increased use of nano-cerium oxide (nCeO(2)) in industrial applications has raised concerns about its potential effects on the soil microbial community. This research found that nCeO(2) did not consistently inhibit critical microbial processes such as organic matter decomposition and nitrification. However, soluble Ce had significant effects on these processes, indicating that the behavior of nCeO(2) differs from soluble Ce. This study provides valuable information for understanding the behavior and effects of nCeO(2).

Summary: The study found that NX-13 is safe and well-tolerated in rats at oral doses as high as 1000 mg/kg. No significant changes were observed in weight, clinical signs, blood parameters, or tissue pathology between treated and control rats. Pharmacokinetic analysis showed that NX-13 has a favorable gastrointestinal localized profile.

Summary: Nicotine vaccines have been studied for smoking cessation, and the combination of lipid-PLA and lipid-PLGA nanoparticles has shown potential for achieving long-lasting immunity against nicotine. The results suggest that the stability and combination of vaccines play a crucial role in their long-term efficacy, with the lipid-PLA vaccine inducing more sustained antibody production. Additionally, the study indicated that the vaccines were safe for use in mice based on body weight and histopathology assessments.
