Here, we reviewed mechanisms of interaction between NPs and kidney. NPs interact differently with mesangial and endothelial cells, podocytes and macrophages; these cell types work together to maintain homeostasis. Clearance requires NPs to be filtered and (then) ‘scavenged’ by e.g., kidney macrophages. We identified several markers of overall biophysical stress. For example, NPs can mimic transport agents, viruses or systems used by the body to combat them, like vesicles. Thus, NPs interfere with e.g., endocytic and actin-angiotensin systems and osmotic pressure that they regulate. In cases of too much stress, NPs can aggravate disease; in case ‘adequate’ stress is lacking, NPs can act medicinal. In this short review, we also describe kinetics for clearance by kidney and present formulae for NP clearance with a basis in bio-physics. Glomerular filtration rates (GFR) measure energy expenditure and metabolic rate. NPs of differing size may differ in renal scavenging and filtration capacity. NPs affect the GFR in a size and dose-dependent manner.

Despite the significant advancements in lung cancer diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, many individuals exhibit resistant responses to proven therapies. This focuses on the critical need for novel therapeutic methods to be developed and innovated. Recently, nanotechnology has gained a lot of importance for treating malignancy as it helps improve drug delivery, specificity, reduced dose, and efficient elimination. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are nanocarriers with low particle size, which can be modified for specific delivery. The current review focuses on the significance and application of lipid-based theranostic nanoparticles for cancer therapy, components, method of preparation and factors affecting lipid nanoparticle preparation, along with the clinical trials and patents of LNPs. Therapeutic applications in lung cancer therapy include Chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, photothermal therapy, and sonodynamic therapy. Diagnostic applications like SPECT, CT, MRI, PET, Optical fluorescence imaging and NIR. As LNPs are being used more frequently in lung cancer therapy, the ongoing research helps in offering solutions to overcome the issues by conventional treatments. Due to their adaptability to customized medical procedures and the use of numerous components, they hold the potential for treating lung cancer. In conclusion, LNPs offer a viable strategy for treating lung cancer by boosting bioavailability, promoting medication delivery, and removing obstacles.

The creation of novel nanomaterial (NM) based-fertilizers and -pesticides has encouraged the assimilation of mineral nutrients as well as to control pests without harming the environment. These nanostructured materials are more effective in releasing nutrients in a site-specific manner, increasing plant uptake efficiency and decreasing nutrient loss, and targeting specific pests than conventional fertilizers and pesticides. This article discusses about recent advancement of innovative nanostructured materials that could transport nutrients, such as carbon-based nanoparticles (NP) and metal-based NP: Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Silver (Ag), and Cerium (Ce) etc. We explored the potential development and implementation challenges for these NPs in this article and highlighted the importance of using a systems approach when creating nano bionics-based technology in the near future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37785,"journal":{"name":"OpenNano","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100198"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352952023000774/pdfft?md5=010cdb21dc3fd505dfab19985a134349&pid=1-s2.0-S2352952023000774-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134834258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
