Nanotechnology: Nanoparticle Characterization and Application in Pharmacology and Toxicology

Abstract

The past few decades have witnessed a great deal of exploration of nanomedicine and the potential application of nanoscience in biomedical science. Nanoparticles have the unique potential of both sensitivity and selectivity with customizability. These are fundamental requirements of medicine. Unlike macro scale features, the nanostructures’ properties and functions are very distinct and this elicits great deal of research. The present issue of the journal comprises of a research article on synthetic peptide for effective inhibition of viral infection; a review on nano-scale metal alloys and their fatigue resistance; a study on eco-friendly greensynthesized nanoparticles on reduction of haematological toxicity as well as a report on dosage response evaluation of nanoparticles having antioxidant effect.
