Nanoparticles are one of the most important prominent areas in the field of nanotechnology, with a broad significant role in current life sciences and human healthcare applications. Among the nanoparticles silica nanoparticles are explored in many biological applications because their size dependent novel properties and functions differ drastically from those of the bulk materials. In biomedica...

Iron oxide nanoparticles have been widely used in many important fields due to their excellent nanoscale physical properties, such as magnetism/superparamagnetism. They are usually assumed to be biologically inert in biomedical applications. However, iron oxide nanoparticles were recently found to also possess intrinsic enzyme-like activities, and are now regarded as novel enzyme mimetics. A sp...

Marine organisms are rich sources of structurally diverse bioactive compounds. Recently, a great deal of interest has been expressed regarding marine-derived bioactive peptides because of their numerous health beneficial effects[1]. Although bio prospecting of marine organisms had yielded many bioactive peptides, pharmacologists have great passion for venoms associated peptides and their role i...
