Wang J, Zhang X, Xing J, Gao L, Lu H. Nanomedicines in diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancers: an updated review. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1444201.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PC) is the third most common male cancer in the world, which occurs due to various mutations leading to the loss of chromatin structure. There are multiple treatments for this type of cancer, of which chemotherapy is one of the most important. Sometimes, a combination of different treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, are used to prevent tumor recurrence. Among other treatments, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can be mentioned, which has had promising results. One of the drawbacks of chemotherapy and ADT treatments is that they are not targeted to the tumor tissue. For this reason, their use can cause extensive side effects. Treatments based on nanomaterials, known as nanomedicine, have attracted much attention today. Nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the main branches of nanomedicine, and they can be made of different materials such as polymer, metal, and carbon, each of which has distinct characteristics. In addition to NPs, nanovesicles (NVs) also have therapeutic applications in PC. In treating PC, synthetic NVs (liposomes, micelles, and nanobubbles) or produced from cells (exosomes) can be used. In addition to the role that NPs and NVs have in treating PC, due to being targeted, they can be used to diagnose PC and check the treatment process. Knowing the characteristics of nanomedicine-based treatments can help design new treatments and improve researchers' understanding of tumor biology and its rapid diagnosis. In this study, we will discuss conventional and nanomedicine-based treatments. The results of these studies show that the use of NPs and NVs in combination with conventional treatments has higher efficacy in tumor treatment than the individual use of each of them.

Abstract
The effect of nuclear vibrations on the electronic eigenvalues and the HOMO-LUMO gap is known for several kinds of carbon-based materials, like diamond, diamondoids, carbon nanoclusters, carbon nanotubes and others, like hydrogen-terminated oligoynes and polyyne. However, it has not been widely analysed in another remarkable kind which presents both theoretical and technological interest: fullerenes. In this article we present the study of the HOMO, LUMO and gap renormalizations due to zero-point motion of a relatively large number (163) of fullerenes and fullerene derivatives. We have calculated this renormalization using density-functional theory with the frozen-phonon method, finding that it is non-negligible (above 0.1 eV) for systems with relevant technological applications in photovoltaics and that the strength of the renormalization increases with the size of the gap. In addition, we have applied machine learning methods for classification and regression of the renormalizations, finding that they can be approximately predicted using the output of a computationally cheap ground state calculation. Our conclusions are supported by recent research in other systems.

Abstract
Despite its potential significance, "cluster chemistry" remains a somewhat marginalized topic within the chemistry field. However, atomic clusters with their unusual and unique structures and properties represent a novel material group situated between molecules and nanoparticles or solid matter, judging from both scientific standpoints and historical backgrounds. Surveying an entire material group, including all substances that can be regarded as a cluster, is essential for establishing cluster chemistry as a more prominent chemistry field. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding by categorizing, summarizing, and reviewing clusters, focusing on their constituent elements in the periodic table. However, because numerous disparate synthetic processes have been individually developed to date, their straightforward and uniform classification is a challenging task. As such, comprehensively reviewing this field from a chemical composition viewpoint presents significant obstacles. It should be therefore noted that despite adopting a synthetic method-based classification in this review, the discussions presented herein could entail inaccuracies. Nevertheless, this unorthodox viewpoint unfolds a new scientific perspective which accentuates the common ground between different development processes by emphasizing the lack of a definitive border between their synthetic methods and material groups, thus opening new avenues for cementing cluster chemistry as an attractive chemistry field.

Abstract
Increased use of nanoscale particles have benefited many industries, including medicine, electronics, and environmental cleaning. These particles provide higher material performance, greater reactivity, and improved drug delivery. However, the main concern is the generation of nanowastes that can spread in different environmental matrices, posing threat to our environment and human health. Nanoparticles (NPs) have the potential to enter the food chain through a variety of pathways, including agriculture, food processing, packaging, and environmental contamination. These particles can negatively impact plant and animal physiology and growth. Due to the assessment of their environmental damage, nanoparticles are the particles of size between 1 and 100 nm that is the recent topic to be discussed. Nanoparticles' absorption, distribution, and toxicity to plants and animals can all be significantly influenced by their size, shape, and surface chemistry. Due to their absorptive capacity and potential to combine with other harmful substances, they can alter the metabolic pathways of living organisms. Nevertheless, despite the continuous research and availability of data, there are still knowledge gaps related to the ecotoxicology, prevalence and workable ways to address the impact of nanoparticles. This review focuses on the impact of nanoparticles on different organisms and the application of advanced techniques to remediate ecosystems using hyperaccumulator plant species. Future considerations are explored around nano-phytoremediation, as an eco-friendly, convenient and cost effective technology that can be applied at field scales.

Abstract
Depleting fossil fuels and net carbon emissions associated with their burning have driven the need to find alternative energy sources. Biofuels are near-perfect candidates for alternative energy sources as they are renewable and account for no net CO2 emissions. However, biofuel production must overcome various challenges to compete with conventional fuels. Conventional methods for bioconversion of biomass to biofuel include chemical, thermochemical, and biological processes. Substrate selection and processing, low yield, and total cost of production are some of the main issues associated with biofuel generation. Recently, the uses of nanotechnology and nanoparticles have been explored to improve the biofuel production processes because of their high adsorption, high reactivity, and catalytic properties. The role of these nanoscale particles and nanocatalysts in biomass conversion and their effect on biofuel production processes and yield are discussed in the present article. The applicability of nanotechnology in production processes of biobutanol, bioethanol, biodiesel, biohydrogen, and biogas under biorefinery approach are presented. Different types of nanoparticles, and their function in the bioprocess, such as electron transfer, pretreatment, hydrolysis, microalgae cultivation, lipid extraction, dark and photo fermentation, immobilization, and suppression of inhibitory compounds, are also highlighted. Finally, the current and potential applications of nanotechnology in biorefineries are also discussed.

Abstract
DeThe adsorption of 2-aminopyridine (2-AP) and 3-aminopyridine (3-AP) on the external surface of B12N12 and Al12N12 fullerene-like nanocages (FLNs) is probed herein via DFT/M06-2X/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. It came out from the study that all FLN@X-AP states investigated are spontaneously formed. Moreover, topological analysis demonstrated that the boron nitride FLN can strongly adsorbed the APs through B-N covalent interactions. A significant change in the HOMO-LUMO band gap of B12N12, with values of 22.01 and 32.71% have been obtained following the adsorption of 2-AP and 3-AP respectively. Accordingly, the conductivity of B12N12 is greatly enhanced by the adsorption of the APs. The above mentioned observations, combined with those found from the analysis of dipole moments and molecular electrostatic potential maps predict B12N12 to be more sensitive to the aminopyridines investigated than the Al12N12 FLN from the theoretical point of view.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
The significance of nanoparticles (NPs) in technological advancements is due to their adaptable characteristics and enhanced performance over their parent material. They are frequently synthesized by reducing metal ions into uncharged nanoparticles using hazardous reducing agents. However, there have been several initiatives in recent years to create green technology that uses natural resources instead of dangerous chemicals to produce nanoparticles. In green synthesis, biological methods are used for the synthesis of NPs because biological methods are eco-friendly, clean, safe, cost-effective, uncomplicated, and highly productive. Numerous biological organisms, such as bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, algae, yeast, and plants, are used for the green synthesis of NPs. Additionally, this paper will discuss nanoparticles, including their types, traits, synthesis methods, applications, and prospects.

The occurrence of pristine and functionalized fullerenes as constituents of airborne aerosols. Sci Rep 2023; 13:4248.

Abstract
We investigated if pristine and functionalized fullerenes could be actual constituents of fine atmospheric aerosols. Comprehensive profiles of fullerenes from 1 µL extracts were made through matrix laser desorption ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-MS) within a few minutes. The ion with m/z 720, corresponding to [C60]-•, was identified as fullerene after 1 µL of α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid matrix solution was spotted over the dried extracts. The ions with the m/z corresponding to C70, C76, C84, C100, C118, C128, and C130 were also attributed to other fullerene species detected within the samples. The ion m/z 878 was found to be the fullerene derivative diethyl methano[60]fullerene dicarboxylate. Since ions of fragmented fullerene molecules were not detected even at high laser energies, we considered the fullerenes' occurring as original constituents of real atmospheric particle matrices instead of being formed as artifacts of the laser action on samples. Therefore, this protocol would be helpful in the understanding of the distribution of either pristine or functionalized fullerenes in the environment and their participation in atmospheric chemistry under typical conditions, as well as its application in vitro and in vivo (eco)toxicity studies.

Localized Photoactuation of Polymer Pens for Nanolithography. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28031171.

Abstract
Localized actuation is an important goal of nanotechnology broadly impacting applications such as programmable materials, soft robotics, and nanolithography. Despite significant recent advances, actuation with high temporal and spatial resolution remains challenging to achieve. Herein, we demonstrate strongly localized photoactuation of polymer pens made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and surface-functionalized short carbon nanotubes based on a fundamental understanding of the nanocomposite chemistry and device innovations in directing intense light with digital micromirrors to microscale domains. We show that local illumination can drive a small group of pens (3 × 3 over 170 μm × 170 μm) within a massively two-dimensional array to attain an out-of-plane motion by more than 7 μm for active molecular printing. The observed effect marks a striking three-order-of-magnitude improvement over the state of the art and suggests new opportunities for active actuation.

Abstract
Despite the development of effective combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), the neurocognitive impairments associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remain challenging. The presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCFB) impedes the adequate penetration of certain antiretroviral drugs into the brain. In addition, reports have shown that some antiretroviral drugs cause neurotoxicity resulting from their interaction with nervous tissues due to long-term systemic exposure. Therefore, the research into the effective therapeutic modality that would cater for the HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) and ART toxicity is now receiving broad research attention. Thus, this review explores the latest information in managing HAND using a nanoparticle drug delivery system (NDDS). We discussed the neurotoxicity profile of various approved ART. Also, we explained the applications of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in medicine, their different synthesis methods and their interaction with nervous tissues. Lastly, while proposing AgNPs as useful nanoparticles in properly delivering ART to enhance effectiveness and minimize neurocognitive disorders, we hypothesize that the perceived toxicity of AgNPs could be minimized by taking appropriate precautions. One such precaution is using appropriate reducing and stabilizing agents such as trisodium citrate to reduce silver ion Ag + to ground state Ag0 during the synthesis. Also, the usage of medium-sized, spherical-shaped AgNPs is encouraged in AgNPs-based drug delivery to the brain due to their ability to deliver therapeutic agents across BBB. In addition, characterization and functionalization of the synthesized AgNPs are required during the drug delivery approach. Putting all these factors in place would minimize toxicity and enhance the usage of AgNPs in delivering therapeutic agents across the BBB to the targeted brain tissue and could cater for the HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders and neurotoxic effects of antiretroviral drugs (ARDs).

Abstract
This paper presents a developed analytical technique for risk assessment of colloidal fullerene in surface waters by ultrasonic-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid extraction (UADLLE) and high-performance liquid chromatography ultraviolet-visible detector (HPLC-UV). Fullerene colloidal nanoparticles were synthesised and characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). Ultrasonication step, disperser solvent, and sodium chloride salt enhance the surface area of fullerene derivative aggregates for better contact and lowers the solubility of fullerene derivative to the aqueous solution, respectively promoting mass transfer of fullerene from aqueous into the organic phase. Several extraction parameters were optimized, and the optimal conditions were established: 5 mL toluene as extraction solvent (2 cycles); 200 mL water sample; 1% sodium chloride salt; 15 min ultrasonication, and 400 μL methanol as disperser solvent. The mean absolute recoveries established in drinking water, wastewater, and river water were 117%, 103%, and 93%, respectively. The proposed analytical technique was linear in the ranges between 0.25 μg L−1 – 250 μg L−1 with an r-squared of 0.9958. The limit of detection (LOD) determined from the signal-to-noise ratio of 3 was 0.11 μg L−1 and the limit of quantification (LOQ) from a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 was 0.38 μg L−1. The precision ranges from 2% to 11% and accuracy percent error ranged from 7%–14% for spiked concentration levels of 0.25 μg L−1, 50 μg L−1, and 250 μg L−1. The measured environmental concentration (MECs) for the fullerene in water samples ranged from not detected to 10.54 μg L−1 and ecological assessment showed the concentration level of the fullerene can pose risk. Overall, according to the author's knowledge, this is the earlier work on the occurrence and risk assessment of fullerene colloidal nanoparticles (C61-PCBM) in potable and wastewater on the African continent.

Abstract
This paper reports various types of cancer, their incidence, and prevalence all over the globe. Along with the discovery of novel natural drugs for cancer treatment, these present a promising option which are eco-friendly, safe, and provide better acceptability in comparison to synthetic agents that carries multiple side effects. This paper provides an idea about various nanocarriers and phytochemicals, along with how their solubility and bioavailability can be enhanced in nanocarrier system. This report combines the data from various literature available on public domain including PubMed on research articles, reviews, and along with report from various national and international sites. Specialized metabolites (polyphenols, alkaloids, and steroids etc) from medicinal plants are promising alternatives to existing drugs. Studies have suggested that the treatment of cancer using plant products could be an alternative and a safe option. Studies have shown with the several cell lines as well as animal models, that phytomolecules are important in preventing/treating cancer. Phytochemicals often outperform chemical treatments by modulating a diverse array of cellular signaling pathways, promoting cell cycle arrest, apoptosis activation, and metastatic suppression, among others. However, limited water solubility, bioavailability, and cell penetration limit their potential clinical manifestations. The development of plant extract loaded nanostructures, rendering improved specificity and efficacy at lower concentrations could prove effective. Nanocarriers, such as liposomes, nanostructured lipids, polymers, and metal nanoparticles, have been tested for the delivery of plant products with enhanced effects. Recent advances have achieved improvement in the the stability, solubility, bioavailability, circulation time, and target specificity by nanostructure-mediated delivery of phytochemicals. Nanoparticles have been considered and attempted as a novel, targeted, and safe option. Newer approaches such as phyto-nanocarriers with carbohydrates, lignin, and polymers have been considered even more selective and effective modes of drug delivery in biomedical or diagnostic applications.

Abstract
The interaction between nanoarchitectonic fullerenes and cells is essential for their applications in the biological field. Herein we reported the preparation and investigation of the function of different types of water-dispersible self-assembled fullerenes. The hydrophobic self-assembled fullerenes were either surface-modified or chemically etched to become water dispersible. Different types of fullerenes were then examined for their effects on the behavior of neural stem cells (NSCs). Our results indicated that only the hydrophilic fullerene nanotubes (FNTs, diameter ∼480 nm) created by chemically etching were endocytosed by NSCs, which showed a spindle-like morphology after the uptake. Meanwhile, the FNTs did not increase the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of the cells. The expression levels of neural-related genes (CNPase and β-tubulin) were upregulated 1.5-fold in the presence of FNTs. The differentiation of NSCs depended on the size, shape, and surface functional group of various fullerenes. Besides, the addition of FNTs in a chitosan self-healing hydrogel did not influence the integrity, injectability, and self-healing properties of the composite hydrogel. These results revealed that FNTs induced the neural differentiation of NSCs in the composite hydrogel. The addition of FNTs at a low concentration (50 μg mL-1) was enough to create such effects in the composite hydrogel. The expression levels of the oligodendrocytic marker gene CNPase and the neuronal marker gene β-tubulin were increased remarkably by ∼14.5- and ∼8.4-fold, respectively, by the composite self-healing hydrogel containing 50 μg mL-1 FNTs. The fullerene nanoarchitectured structures may have potential for use as nanovehicles and in neural tissue engineering in the future.

Abstract
Using DFT simulations, we studied the interaction of a semifullerene C30 and a defected graphene layer. We obtained the C30 chemisorbs on the surface. We also found the adsorbed C30 chemisorbs, Li, Ti, or Pt, on its concave part. Thus, the resulting system (C30-graphene) is a graphene layer decorated with a metal-doped C30. The adsorption of the molecules depends on the shape of the base of the semifullerene and the dopant metal. The CO molecule adsorbed without dissociation in all cases. When the bottom is a pentagon, the adsorption occurs only with Ti as the dopant. It also adsorbs for a hexagon as the bottom with Pt as the dopant. The carbon dioxide molecule adsorbs in the two cases of base shape but only when lithium is the dopant. The adsorption occurs without dissociation. The ozone molecule adsorbs on both surfaces. When Ti or Pt are dopants, we found that the O3 molecule always dissociates into an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom. When Li is the dopant, the O3 molecule adsorbs without dissociation. Methane did not adsorb in any case. Calculating the recovery time at 300 K, we found that the system may be a sensor in several instances.

Abstract
Fullerenes engineered nanomaterials are regarded as emerging environmental contaminants. This is as their widespread application in many consumer products, as well as natural release, increases their environmental concentration. In this work, an ultrasonic-assisted pressurized liquid extraction (UAPLE) method followed by high performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet-visible detector (HPLC-UV-vis) was developed for extraction and determination of fullerene in sediments. The method was validated and found to be suitable for environmental risk assessment. Thereafter, the method was used for the determination of fullerene (C61-PCBM) in sediment samples collected from Umgeni River, South Africa. The current method allows for adequate sensitivity within the linear range of 0.01–4 µg g−1, method limit detection of 0.0094 µg g−1 and recoveries ranged between 67–84%. All the parameters were determined from fortified sediments samples. The measured environmental concentration (MEC) of fullerene in the sediment samples ranged from not detected to 30.55 µg g−1. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the occurrence and ecological risk assessment of carbonaceous fullerene nanoparticles in African sediments and biosolids.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a vast field of science with the most vibrant and conspicuous applications. The green synthesis approach is cost-effective, eco-friendly, and produces the most stable metal-based nanoparticles without the use of toxic chemicals. This study presents the green synthesis of iron nanoparticles (FeNPs). For biosynthesis of FeNPs, Phoenix dactylifera extract was used as a reducing agent and iron sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4·7H2O) was used as a substrate. FeNPs were characterized by different techniques including UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and nano zeta-sizer analysis. The antimicrobial activity of FeNPs synthesized by using an aqueous extract of Phoenix dactylifera was evaluated against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus leutus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. A notable color change from yellow to black confirmed the synthesis of FeNPs. The sharp peak at 450 nm UV-Visible spectroscopy confirmed the synthesis of FeNPs. FTIR showed the presence of O-H and C=C stretching due to the presence of phenol and alkene functional groups. The average size of FeNPs was 6092 d.nm. The results of antimicrobial activity showed that FeNPs exhibit different potential against different bacterial strains with a maximum 25 ± 0.360 zone of inhibition against Escherichia coli. Thus, green synthesized FeNPs could be used as potential antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
The nano-CuCl2.2H2O salt was prepared by the ball milling method. The association parameters for bulk and nano-CuCl2 salts in H2O are estimated at different temperatures using the conductivity method by applying the Fuoss-Shedlovsky equation and it was higher for nano-CuCl2 than bulk CuCl2 salt. The interaction between the cation (Cu2+) and ligand (ceftriaxone) in H2O was determined also by the conductometric method. Two stoichiometric complexes 1/2 and 1/1 (M/L) are estimated and follow the order K f (1/1) > K f (1 : 2) and ∆G f (1/1) > ∆G f (1/2) for (M : L) (in negative values) indicate the favorable of formation of (1/1) complex compared to the (1 : 2) complex. The Gibbs free energies change was increased in negative signs with increasing the temperature. The antimicrobial activities of CFT, bulk Cu-CFT complex, and nano-Cu-CFT complex were studied on LB agar by the disc diffusion technique against clinical isolates of gram-negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Fungi (Candida albicans). It was observed that (CFT) has a higher zone of inhibition and antibacterial activity than that of bulk and nano-Cu-CFT complexes in Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram-negative bacteria). The nano-Cu-CFT complex showed a higher clear zone of inhibition and antifungal activity against candida than bulk Cu-CFT complex while the absence of the inhibition zone in CFT, so nano-Cu-CFT complex, can be used as an antifungal drug.

Abstract
Nowadays, the task of the selectively capture of fullerene molecules from soot is the subject of several studies. The low solubility of fullerenes represents a drawback when the goal is to purify them and to carry out chemical procedures where they participate. There are different molecules that can act as a kind of cocoon, giving shelter to the fullerene cages in such a way that they can be included in a solution or can be extracted from a mix. In this work, a theoretical study of some known and new proposed organic molecules of this kind is presented. In all cases, the interaction occurs with the help of a metallic atom or ion which plays the role of a bridge, providing a place for a metallocene like interaction to occur. The thermodynamic arguments favoring the formation of this adduct species are addressed as well as the nature of the bond by means QTAIM parameters and frontier molecular orbitals analysis.

Abstract
Inorganic/organic hybrid nanosystems have been increasingly developed for their versatility and efficacy at overcoming obstacles not readily surmounted by nonhybridized counterparts. Currently, hybrid nanosystems are implemented for gene therapy, drug delivery, and phototherapy in addition to tissue regeneration, vaccines, antibacterials, biomolecule detection, imaging probes, and theranostics. Though diverse, these nanosystems can be classified according to foundational inorganic/organic components, accessory moieties, and architecture of hybridization. Within this Review, we begin by providing a historical context for the development of biomedical hybrid nanosystems before describing the properties, synthesis, and characterization of their component building blocks. Afterward, we introduce the architectures of hybridization and highlight recent biomedical nanosystem developments by area of application, emphasizing hybrids of distinctive utility and innovation. Finally, we draw attention to ongoing clinical trials before recapping our discussion of hybrid nanosystems and providing a perspective on the future of the field.

Abstract
The wide application of fullerene C60 nanoparticles would inevitably lead to their release into the environment. In order to evaluate the environment risks of C60 and the subsequent effects on ecosystem health, a reliable quantitative methodology of C60 should be established. In this study, a rapid pretreatment method called low-density solvent-based dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) combined high-performance liquid chromatography-UV detector (HPLC-UV) was developed to detect C60 in environmental water. In this proposed method, toluene and methanol were chosen as the extraction solvent and the dispersive solvent, respectively. The optimized volume of extraction solvent and dispersive solvent were 100 μL and 10 μL, respectively. And the best shaking time was chosen as 10 min at room temperature for the optimal homogenization procedure for the extraction of C60 in water samples. The enrichment factor of 50 was obtained with 100 μL toluene, and the recoveries of C60 from various environmental samples were in the range of 81.4 ± 5.0-101.4 ± 6.2% at 1.25-5.00 µg/L spiked levels. The detection limits of C60 in tap water, surface water, living sewage and mining waste water were 0.19, 0.29, 0.34 and 0.22 μg/L, respectively. The low detection limit, good linear range and high recoveries of C60 in environmental water indicated that the proposed method could provide an efficient approach for the analysis and tracking of C60 in the environment.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has been the latest approach for diagnosis and treatment for cancer, which opens up a new alternative therapeutic drug delivery option to treat disease. Nanoparticles (NPs) display a broad role in cancer diagnosis and has various advantages over the other conventional chemotherapeutic drug delivery. NPs possess more specific and efficient drug delivery to the targeted tissue, cell, or organs and minimize the risk of side effects. NPs undergo passive and active mode of drug targets to tumor area with less elimination of the drug from the system. Size and surface characteristics of nanoparticles play a crucial role in modulating nanocarrier efficiency and the biodistribution of chemo drugs in the body. Several types of nanocarriers, such as polymers, dendrimers, liposome-based, and carbon-based, are studied widely in cancer therapy. Although FDA approved very few nanotechnology drugs for cancer therapy, a large number of studies are undergoing for the development of novel nanocarriers for potent cancer therapy. In this review, we discuss the details of the nano-based therapeutics and diagnostics strategies, and the potential use of nanomedicines in cancer therapy and cancer drug delivery.

Abstract
The presence of nanomaterials in the environment has caught the attention of the scientific because of the uncertainties in their fate, mobility and potential toxic effects. However, few studies have determined experimentally their concentration levels in aquatic systems up to date, which complicates the development of an adequate risk assessment. In the present study, the occurrence of ten fullerenes has been assessed in the Sava River (Southeastern Europe): 27 freshwater samples and 12 sediment samples from 12 sampling points have been analysed during two sampling campaigns. C60 was the most ubiquitous fullerene, with concentrations of 8 pg/l-59 ng/l and 108-895 pg/gdw in water and sediments, respectively. Statistically significant differences existed between the levels in 2014 and 2015, which has been attributed to the extreme hydrologic conditions (severe floods and drought, respectively). C70 fullerene has been detected in most of the samples and the fullerene derivatives [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester and N‑methyl fulleropyrrolidine have been detected eventually, which highlights that nanotechnology research and development activities are responsible for emitting these emerging contaminants to the environment. The role of diverse potential anthropogenic sources (including oil refinery, general industrial activity, river navigation, urban emissions and nanotechnology) is discussed.

Abstract
Nanotechnology and the production of nanomaterials have been expanding rapidly in recent years. Since many types of engineered nanoparticles are suspected to be toxic to living organisms and to have a negative impact on the environment, the process of designing new nanoparticles and their applications must be accompanied by a thorough risk analysis. (Quantitative) Structure-Activity Relationship ([Q]SAR) modelling creates promising options among the available methods for the risk assessment. These in silico models can be used to predict a variety of properties, including the toxicity of newly designed nanoparticles. However, (Q)SAR models must be appropriately validated to ensure the clarity, consistency and reliability of predictions. This paper is a joint initiative from recently completed European research projects focused on developing (Q)SAR methodology for nanomaterials. The aim was to interpret and expand the guidance for the well-known "OECD Principles for the Validation, for Regulatory Purposes, of (Q)SAR Models", with reference to nano-(Q)SAR, and present our opinions on the criteria to be fulfilled for models developed for nanoparticles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functionalization is believed to have a considerable impact on the biodistribution of fullerene in vivo. However, a direct comparison of differently functionalized fullerenes is required to prove the hypothesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of surface modification on the biodistribution of fullerene following its exposure via several routs of administration. METHODS (13)C skeleton-labeled fullerene C60 ((13)C-C60) was functionalized with carboxyl groups ((13)C-C60-COOH) or hydroxyl groups ((13)C-C60-OH). Male ICR mice (~25 g) were exposed to a single dose of 400 μg of (13)C-C60-COOH or (13)C-C60-OH in 200 μL of aqueous 0.9% NaCl solution by three different exposure pathways, including tail vein injection, gavage and intraperitoneal exposure. Tissue samples, including blood, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, lungs, brain, large intestine, small intestine, muscle, bone and skin were subsequently collected, dissected, homogenized, lyophilized, and analyzed by isotope ratio mass spectrometry. RESULTS The liver, bone, muscle and skin were found to be the major target organs for C60-COOH and C60-OH after their intravenous injection, whereas unmodified C60 was mainly found in the liver, spleen and lung. The total uptakes in liver and spleen followed the order: C60 > > C60-COOH > C60-OH. The distribution rate over 24 h followed the order: C60 > C60-OH > C60-COOH. C60-COOH and C60-OH were both cleared from the body at 7 d post exposure. C60-COOH was absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract following gavage exposure and distributed into the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, lungs, intestine and bone tissues. The translocation of C60-OH was more widespread than that of C60-COOH after intraperitoneal injection. CONCLUSIONS The surface modification of fullerene C60 led to a decreased in its accumulation level and distribution rate, as well as altering its target organs. These results therefore demonstrate that the chemical functionalization of fullerene had a significant impact on its translocation and biodistribution properties. Further surface modifications could therefore be used to reduce the toxicity of C60 and improve its biocompatibility, which would be beneficial for biomedical applications.
