Abstract
Polysaccharide-based gold nanomaterials have attracted great interest in biomedical fields such as cancer therapy and immunomodulation due to their prolonged residence time in vivo and enhanced immune response. This review aims to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive summary of polysaccharide-based Au NMs synthesis, including mechanisms, polysaccharide structure-effects, and anticancer activity. Firstly, research progress on the synthesis mechanism of polysaccharide-based Au NMs was addressed, which included three types based on the variety of polysaccharides and reaction environment: breaking of glycosidic bonds via Au (III) or base-mediated production of highly reduced intermediates, reduction of free hydroxyl groups in polysaccharide molecules, and reduction of free amino groups in polysaccharide molecules. Then, the potential effects of polysaccharide structure characteristics (molecular weight, composition of monosaccharides, functional groups, glycosidic bonds, and chain conformation) and reaction conditions (the reaction temperature, reaction time, pH, concentration of gold precursor and polysaccharides) on the size and shape of Au NMs were explored. Finally, the current status of polysaccharide-based Au NMs cancer therapy was summarized before reaching our conclusions and perspectives.

Abstract
Existing anticancer therapeutics exhibit short half-lives, non-specificity, and severe side effects. To address this, active-targeting nanoparticles have been developed; however, the complex fabrication procedures, scale-up, and low reproducibility delay FDA approval, particularly for functionalized nanoparticles. We developed levan nanoparticles via simple one-pot nanoprecipitation for specific anticancer drug delivery. Levan is a plant polysaccharide which has a binding affinity to CD44 receptors and amphiphilicity. The nanoparticles are self-assembled and enable active-targeting without chemical modifications. The paclitaxel-loaded levan nanoparticles (PTX@LevNP) demonstrated a sustained PTX release and long-term stability. The LevNP can bind CD44 receptors on cancer cells, and PTX@LevNP showed enhanced anticancer activity in CD44-positive cells (SCC7 cells). In SCC7 tumor-bearing mice, the accumulation of LevNP in tumor tissue was 3.7 times higher than that of the free-dye, resulting in improved anticancer efficacy of PTX@LevNP. This new strategy using levan can produce nanoparticles for effective cancer treatment without complex fabrication procedures.

Abstract
In this study, the novel exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by the marine bacterium Alteromonas macleodii Mo 169 was used as a stabilizer and capping agent in the preparation of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs). The synthesized nanoparticles were well dispersed and spherical with an average particle size of 32 nm. The cytotoxicity of the EPS and the EPS/SeNPs bio-nanocomposite was investigated on human keratinocyte (HaCaT) and fibroblast (CCD-1079Sk) cell lines. No cytotoxicity was found for the EPS alone for concentrations up to 1 g L-1. A cytotoxic effect was only noticed for the bio-nanocomposite at the highest concentrations tested (0.5 and 1 g L-1). In vitro experiments demonstrated that non-cytotoxic concentrations of the EPS/SeNPs bio-nanocomposite had a significant cellular antioxidant effect on the HaCaT cell line by reducing ROS levels up to 33.8%. These findings demonstrated that the A. macleodii Mo 169 EPS can be efficiently used as a stabilizer and surface coating to produce a SeNP-based bio-nanocomposite with improved antioxidant activity.

Abstract
The progressive and fatal outbreak of some diseases such as cancer and coronavirus necessitates using advanced materials to bring such devastating illnesses under control. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) is decorated by superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) (GO/SPION) as well as polyethylene glycol functionalized SPION (GO/SPION@PEG), and chitosan functionalized SPION (GO/SPION@CS). Field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM) images show the formation of high density uniformly distributed SPION nanoparticles on the surface of GO sheets. The structural and chemical composition of nanostructures is confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The saturation magnetization of GO/SPION, GO/SPION@PEG and GO- SPION@CS are found to be 20, 19 and 8 emu/g using vibrating sample magnetometer. Specific absorption rate (SAR) values of 305, 283, and 199 W/g and corresponding intrinsic loss power (ILP) values of 9.4, 8.7, and 6.2 nHm2kg-1 are achieved for GO/SPION, GO/SPION@PEG and GO/SPION@CS, respectively. The In vitro cytotoxicity assay indicates higher than 70% cell viability for all nanostructures at 100, 300, and 500 ppm after 24 and 72 h. Additionally, cancerous cell (EJ138 human bladder carcinoma) ablation is observed using functionalized GO/SPION under applied magnetic field. More than 50% cancerous cell death has been achieved for GO/SPION@PEG at 300 ppm concentration. Furthermore, Surrogate virus neutralization test is applied to investigate neutralizing property of the synthesized nanostructures through analysis of SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain and human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 binding. The highest level of SARS-CoV-2 virus inhibition is related to GO/SPION@CS (86%) due to the synergistic exploitation of GO and chitosan. Thus, GO/SPION and GO/SPION@PEG with higher SAR and ILP values could be beneficial for cancer treatment, while GO/SPION@CS with higher virus suppression has potential to use against coronaviruses. Thus, the developed nanocomposites have a potential in the efficient treatment of cancer and coronavirus.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were prepared by a solution plasma process in the presence of H2O2, and they were dispersed in an aqueous solution without any stabilizer generally used. The dispersion stability of the AuNP in an aqueous solution was evaluated by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). An anionic broad peak was detected with the AuNP by CZE based on its wide variations in size and net charge. The broad peak also suggests that the AuNP were well dispersed in an aqueous solution. The dispersion stability of AuNP was evaluated from the viewpoints of long-term dispersion, salt concentration, and organic co-solvent. The anionic broad peak attributed to the dispersed AuNP was successfully detected for at least 55 weeks from the preparation with less shot signals of the aggregates. The AuNP was also well dispersed in aqueous NaCl solutions with its concentrations up to 30 mmol L-1, as well as with ethanol co-solvent up to 40%(v/v). The AuNP prepared by the solution plasma process was proved to be highly stable in an aqueous solution.

Abstract
Here, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized upon exposure to nano-pulsed Nd-YAG laser irradiation in de-ionized water (PLAL) and functionalized with levan polysaccharide for assessing the anticancer efficacy of doxorubicin (DOX)-conjugated levan-capped AuNPs complexes to MCF-7 breast cancer cells. According to the physicochemical test results, the increments in levan amount enhanced the colloidal stability and the drug encapsulation efficiency (DEE) significantly. For the 10L-AuNP group having the highest levan amount (10 mg/mL levan), DEE was calculated as 92.21 ± 0.56%. The lean levan, uncapped AuNPs, and 10L-AuNP were found non-cytotoxic (>80% cell viability) in the studied concentrations with 48 h MTT assays. At higher DOX loadings (25, 50, and 100 μg/mL) of 10L-AuNP, the cell viability reduced significantly compared to free DOX. Overall, these nanoparticle complexes could be proposed as potent drug delivery vehicles for cancer drugs such as DOX, as well as other drugs in the prospective studies.

Abstract
Bacteria exist in colonies as aggregates or associated with surfaces forming biofilms rather than planktonic cells. Living in such a unique manner is always mediated via a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances, which are composed mainly of polysaccharides or specifically exopolysaccharides (EPS). Biofilm formation and hence EPS production are affected by biotic and abiotic factors inducing/inhibiting several involved genes and other molecules. In addition, various aspects of bacterial EPS regarding: physiological functions, molecular weight, and chemical composition were demonstrated. Recent investigations have revealed a wide spectrum of EPS chemical and physicochemical properties showing promising applications in different industrial sectors. For instance, lactic acid bacteria (LAB)- and marine-derived EPS exhibit: immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antitumor, bioremediation of heavy metals, as well as thickening and viscosity modifiers in the food industry. However, bacterial EPS have not yet been commercially implemented, in contrast to plant-derived analogues. The current review aims to rediscover the EPS structural and biosynthetic features derived from marine and terrestrial bacteria, and applications as well.
