Abstract
Inhibition of the biosynthesis of bacterial heptoses opens novel perspectives for antimicrobial therapies. The enzyme GmhA responsible for the first committed biosynthetic step catalyzes the conversion of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate into d-glycero-d-manno-heptose 7-phosphate and harbors a Zn2+ ion in the active site. A series of phosphoryl- and phosphonyl-substituted derivatives featuring a hydroxamate moiety were designed and prepared from suitably protected ribose or hexose derivatives. High-resolution crystal structures of GmhA complexed to two N-formyl hydroxamate inhibitors confirmed the binding interactions to a central Zn2+ ion coordination site. Some of these compounds were found to be nanomolar inhibitors of GmhA. While devoid of HepG2 cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity of their own, they demonstrated in vitro lipopolysaccharide heptosylation inhibition in Enterobacteriaceae as well as the potentiation of erythromycin and rifampicin in a wild-type Escherichia coli strain. These inhibitors pave the way for a novel treatment of Gram-negative infections.

Abstract
The initial part of the review provides an extensive overview about MXenes as novel and exciting 2D nanomaterials describing their basic physico-chemical features, methods of their synthesis, and possible interfacial modifications and techniques, which could be applied to the characterization of MXenes. Unique physico-chemical parameters of MXenes make them attractive for many practical applications, which are shortly discussed. Use of MXenes for healthcare applications is a hot scientific discipline which is discussed in detail. The article focuses on determination of low molecular weight analytes (metabolites), high molecular weight analytes (DNA/RNA and proteins), or even cells, exosomes, and viruses detected using electrochemical sensors and biosensors. Separate chapters are provided to show the potential of MXene-based devices for determination of cancer biomarkers and as wearable sensors and biosensors for monitoring of a wide range of human activities.

Abstract
The recent emerging field of regenerative medicine is to present solutions for chronic diseases which cannot be sufficiently repaired by the body's own mechanisms. Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells and have the potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. Self renewal and totipotency are the characteristic features of stem cells and it holds a promising result for treating various diseases like diabetic foot ulcer, heart diseases, lung diseases, Autism, Skin diseases, arthritis including eye disease. Failure of complete recovery of eye diseases and complications that follow conventional treatments have shifted search to a new form of regenerative medicine using Stem cells. The ocular progenitor cells are remarkable in stem cell biology and replenishing degenerated cells despite being present in low quantity and quiescence in our body has a high therapeutic value. In this paper we have review the applications on ocular progenitor stem cells in treatment of human eye diseases and address the strategies that have been exploited in an effort to regain visual function in the advance treatment of stem cells without any side effects and also present the significance in advance stem cell research.

Abstract
A mimetic of Lipid A with a beta-N(OMe) glycosidic linkage, four linear C-14 hydrophobic chains and without phosphate groups has been prepared together with its beta-O-linked analogue. Both these molecules were active in inhibiting the inflammatory action of Escherichia coli lipid A on MT2 macrophages in a dose-dependent manner, while they were completely devoid of inflammatory activity.
