Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is one of the leading causes of high cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of LC. The mechanisms of NSCLC evolution involve the alterations of multiple complex signaling pathways. Even with advances in biological understanding, early diagnosis, therapy, and mechanisms of drug resistance, many dilemmas still need to face in NSCLC treatments. However, many efforts have been made to explore the pathological changes of tumor cells based on specific molecular signals for drug therapy and targeted delivery. Nano-delivery has great potential in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors. In recent years, many studies have focused on different combinations of drugs and nanoparticles (NPs) to constitute nano-based drug delivery systems (NDDS), which deliver drugs regulating specific molecular signaling pathways in tumor cells, and most of them have positive implications. This review summarized the recent advances of therapeutic targets discovered in signaling pathways in NSCLC as well as the related NDDS, and presented the future prospects and challenges.

Abstract
Environmental effects of heavy metal pollution are considered as a widespread problem throughout the world, as it jeopardizes human health and also reduces the sustainability of a cleaner environment. Removal of such noxious pollutants from wastewater is pivotal because it provides a propitious solution for a cleaner environment and water scarcity. Adsorption treatment plays a significant role in water remediation due to its potent treatment and low cost of adsorbents. In the last two decades, researchers have been highly focused on the modification of adsorption treatment by functionalized and surface-modified nanomaterials which has spurred intense research. The characteristics of nano adsorbents attract global scientists as it is also economically viable. This review shines its light on the functionalized nanomaterials application for heavy metals removal from wastewater and also highlights the importance of regeneration of nanomaterials in the view of visualizing the economic aspects along with a cleaner environment. The review also focused on the proper disposal of nanomaterials with crucial issues that persist in the adsorption process and also emphasize future research modification at a large-scale application in industries.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is one of the most emerging fields of research within recent decades and is based upon the exploitation of nano-sized materials (e.g., nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanomembranes, nanowires, nanofibers and so on) in various operational fields. Nanomaterials have multiple advantages, including high stability, target selectivity, and plasticity. Diverse biotic (e.g., Capsid of viruses and algae) and abiotic (e.g., Carbon, silver, gold and etc.) materials can be utilized in the synthesis process of nanomaterials. "Nanobiotechnology" is the combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology disciplines. Nano-based approaches are developed to improve the traditional biotechnological methods and overcome their limitations, such as the side effects caused by conventional therapies. Several studies have reported that nanobiotechnology has remarkably enhanced the efficiency of various techniques, including drug delivery, water and soil remediation, and enzymatic processes. In this review, techniques that benefit the most from nano-biotechnological approaches, are categorized into four major fields: medical, industrial, agricultural, and environmental.

MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14112899. [PMID: 34071340 PMCID: PMC8199396 DOI: 10.3390/ma14112899] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Revised: 05/21/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
In the paper, investigation results of the uptake efficiency of radionuclides 60Co, 90Sr, and 137Cs dissolved in water onto iron oxides α-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 are presented. It was found that sorption efficiency increased for higher pH values. Independent of the oxide nature, the uptake characteristics are the best toward 60Co and the worst toward 137Cs, forming the row as follows: 60Co > 90Sr > 137Cs. The highest sorption ability at pH 9 was found for magnetite Fe3O4, which was 93%, 73%, and 26% toward 60Co, 90Sr, and 137Cs, respectively, while the respective percentages for hematite α-Fe2O3 were 85%, 41%, and 18%. It was assumed that the main sorption mechanism was ion exchange. That may explain some decrease of the sorption efficiency in drinking water due to the interfering presence of magnesium and calcium cations. The obtained results indicated the feasibility of the tested sorbents and their merits, especially in terms of relatively high uptake coefficients, low costs, availability, and lack of toxicity.

Mahmoud ME, El-Sharkawy RM, Ibrahim GAA. Promoted adsorptive removal of chromium(vi) ions from water by a green-synthesized hybrid magnetic nanocomposite (NFe 3O 4Starch-Glu-NFe 3O 4ED). RSC Adv 2021; 11:14829-14843. [PMID: 35424003 PMCID: PMC8697855 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra00961c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 03/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel magnetic starch-crosslinked-magnetic ethylenediamine nanocomposite, NFe3O4Starch-Glu-NFe3O4ED, was synthesized via microwave irradiation. The characteristics of the assembled NFe3O4Starch-Glu-NFe3O4ED nanocomposite were evaluated via XRD, FT-IR, TGA, BET, SEM and HR-TEM analyses. Its particle size was confirmed to be in the range 11.25-17.16 nm. The effectiveness of the designed nanocomposite for the removal of Cr(vi) ions was explored using the batch adsorption technique. Equilibrium results proved that the adsorptive removal of the target metal ions from aqueous solution was highly dependent on the optimized experimental parameters. The maximum adsorptive removal percentage values (%R) of Cr(vi) ions on NFe3O4Starch-Glu-NFe3O4ED obtained at pH 2.0 were 85.27%, 91.90%, and 96.47% using 10.0, 25.0, and 50.0 mg L-1 Cr(vi), respectively, for an equilibrium time of 30 min. The adsorption process was found to be strongly influenced by the presence of interfering salts including NaCl, CaCl2, KCl, MgCl2, and NH4Cl. Kinetic studies were performed and it was found that the pseudo-second and Elovich models well fitted the experimental data with the possible suggested ion-pair interaction mechanism. Different isotherm models were employed to assess the adsorption equilibrium, which was revealed by fitting Langmuir, Temkin and Freundlich models. The maximum uptake capacity based on the Langmuir model was 210.741 mg g-1. The effect of temperature and thermodynamics confirmed that adsorption was spontaneous, feasible, and endothermic in nature. Finally, the validity and applicability of using the NFe3O4Starch-Glu-NFe3O4ED nanocomposite to remove Cr(vi) ions from real water matrices were confirmed in the range of 91.2-94.7 ± 2.2-3.7%.
