The scientific community worldwide has been interested in nanoscience over the past few decades due to its potential applications in the energy, pharmaceutical, agricultural, electronics, medical diagnostics, and chemical industries, as well as in space exploration. These distinctive features of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) can be explored for various additional applications, including medication delivery, biosensing, reusable catalysts, antibacterial and anticancer properties, MRI agents, and medical imaging. Therefore, it is essential to fabricate IONPs with the appropriate monodispersity, structure, size, and topology for the applications. The biofabrication of IONPs with the appropriate nature and structure utilizing microbial machinery is safer, faster, and more ecologically friendly than previous approaches. Many microorganisms have previously been investigated for their ability to fabricate IONPs. As a result, manufacturing IONPs using microorganisms is a novel approach that shows great promise. This chapter offers detailed information on several methods for producing IONPs utilizing microbial cells, as well as their multifunctional applications.

This study shows that hormonal fluctuations across the menstrual cycle are linked to measurable changes in the brain, suggesting how the menstrual cycle can influence women's emotional, cognitive and mental health.

This study explores racial inequities in postpartum insurance coverage during the COVID-19 continuous Medicaid coverage period, comparing ACA expansion versus non-expansion states. It concludes that postpartum Medicaid extension improved access but was insufficient to eliminate racial inequities in maternal health coverage.
