Abstract
In the last three decades, there has been wide progress in nanomaterials development, and several studies are being performed to show its biological effects and cellular interaction for biomedical applications. Due to the exponential increase in nanomaterial diversity, production, and possibilities of applications in different areas, there is an important concern about its toxicity for humans, animals, and ecosystems. There is a great effort to minimize experimental assays in animals, and this is a commendable initiative. Several alternatives in vitro assays are available; however, several new protocols have been introduced to elucidate the mechanisms of cell-nanomaterial interaction. Wide and fast progress in nanotechnology has been observed. Nonetheless, the nanomaterial interaction with cells or biological systems is still not totally described. In this aspect, this paper is a brief overview of nanomaterials and cellular interactions (nano-bio interaction).
期刊介绍:
Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is an international and interdisciplinary research journal that focuses on all aspects of nanoscience, bioscience and applied chemistry. Submissions are solicited in all topical areas, ranging from basic aspects of the science materials to practical applications of such materials. With 6 issues per year, the first one published on the 15th of February of 2011, Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is an open-access journal, making all research results freely available online. The aim is to publish original papers, short communications as well as review papers highlighting interdisciplinary research, the potential applications of the molecules and materials in the bio-field. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible.
