Nanomaterial (NM) delivery to solid tumors has been the focus of intense research for over a
decade. Classically, scientists have tried to improve NM delivery by employing passive or …

Oxidative stress-dependent inflammatory diseases represent a major concern for the
population's health worldwide. Biocompatible nanomaterials with enzymatic properties …

The innate immune system provides the first line of defence against foreign microbes and
particulate materials. Engineered nanoparticles can interact with the immune system in …

The number of studies that have been published on the topic of nanosafety speaks for itself.
We have seen an almost exponential rise over the past 15 years or so in the number of …

Boron nitride has structural characteristics similar to carbon 2D materials (graphene and its
derivatives) and its layered structure has been exploited to form different nanostructures …

The interaction of inorganic nanoparticles and many biological fluids often withstands the
formation of a Protein Corona enveloping the nanoparticle. This Protein Corona provides the …

Platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) are an attractive candidate for application in many areas of
biotechnology, nanomedicine, and pharmacology, owing to their large surface area and …

Nanoparticles have the potential to contribute to new modalities in molecular imaging and
sensing as well as in therapeutic interventions. In this Nano Focus article, we identify some …

Nanoparticle toxicology, an emergent field, works toward establishing the hazard of
nanoparticles, and therefore their potential risk, in light of the increased use and likelihood of …

Background In nanotoxicology, the exact role of particle shape, in relation to the
composition, on the capacity to induce toxicity is largely unknown. We investigated the toxic …
