Aims:: Nanoparticles are important agents for targeted drug delivery to tissues or organs, or even solid tumour in certain instances. However, their surface charge distribution makes them amenable to recognition by the host immune mechanisms, especially the innate immune system, which interferes with their intended targeting, circulation life, and eventual fate in the body. We aimed to study the immunological response of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) and the role of the complement system in inducing an inflammatory cascade. Background:: The complement system is an important component of the innate immune system that can recognise molecular patterns on the pathogens (non-self), altered self (apoptotic and necrotic cells, and aggregated proteins such as beta-amyloid peptides), and cancer cells. It is no surprise that clusters of charge on nanoparticles are recognised by complement subcomponents, thus activating the three complement pathways: classical, alternative, and lectin. Objective:: This study aimed to examine the ability of Fe-NPs to activate the complement system and interact with macrophages in vitro. Methods:: Complement activation following exposure of macrophage-like cell line (THP-1) to Fe-NPs or positive control was analysed by standard protocol. Real-time PCR was used for mRNA-level gene expression analysis, whereas multiplex cytokine array was used for proteinlevel expression analysis of cytokines and chemokines. Results:: Fe-NPs activated all three pathways to a certain extent; however, the activation of the lectin pathway was the most pronounced, suggesting that Fe-NPs bind mannan-binding lectin (MBL), a pattern recognition soluble receptor (humoral factor). MBL-mediated complement activation on the surface of Fe-NPs enhanced their uptake by THP-1 cells, in addition to dampening inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and soluble immune ligands. Conclusion:: Selective complement deposition (via the lectin pathway in this study) can make pro-inflammatory nanoparticles biocompatible and render them anti-inflammatory properties.

Background:: Cobalt oxide nanocubes have garnered significant attention as potential supercapacitor electrodes due to their unique structural and electrochemical properties. The spent lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are considered as zero-cost source for cobalt oxide production. Objective:: The aim of this work is to recover cobalt oxide from spent LiBs and study its electrochemical performance as a supercapacitor electrode material. Method:: This study uses an electrodeposition method to obtain cobalt oxide honeycomb-like anodes coated on Ni foam substrates from spent Li-ion batteries for supercapacitors applications. The effect of annealing temperature on the cobalt oxide anode has been carefully investigated; 450 ºC annealing temperature results in nanocubes on the surface of the cobalt oxide electrode. X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of the Co3O4-NiO electrode.

Background and Objective: In the present investigation, low molecular weight polyethylenimine (LMW PEI, 1.8 kDa PEI) was conjugated to dextrin via urethane units and tested to transfer plasmid encoding interleukin-12 (IL-12) plasmid. Although high molecular weight PEI (HMW PEI, 25 kDa PEI) has shown substantial transfection efficiency, its wide application has been hampered due to considerable cytotoxicity. Therefore, LMW PEI with low toxic effects was used as the core of our gene transfer construct. Methods: LMW PEI was conjugated to dextrin via urethane units to improve its biophysical characteristics as well as cytotoxic effects. The conjugates were characterized in terms of buffering capacity, plasmid DNA condensation ability, particle size, and zeta potential as well as protection against enzymatic degradation. In Vitro experiments were carried out to evaluate the ability of these LMW PEI conjugates to transfer plasmid encoding human interleukin-12 (hIL- 12) to the cells. The MTT assay was performed to measure the cell-induced toxicity of the conjugates. Results: The results of our study demonstrated that the PEI derivatives with higher amounts of amine content (i.e. higher conjugation degrees) have considerable buffering capacity and plasmid condensation ability. These conjugates could condense plasmid DNA at Carrier to Plasmid ratios (C/P) ≥2 and form polyplexes at the size range of 120-165 nm while their zeta potential was around 5.5-8.5 mV. The results of transfection efficiency demonstrated that the level of IL- 12 production increased by 2-3 folds compared with unmodified LMW PEI while the level of cytotoxicity was not higher than 20%. Conclusion: The strategy used in this study shows a promising way to prepare gene carriers with high transfection efficiency and low toxicity.

: In order to address environmental issues, polymer nanocomposites are becoming more and more popular because of their remarkable functionality. Their use in various fields is highlighted by their special physicochemical features (i.e., stability, high reactivity, robustness, regenerability, etc.), conductivity, electronic compatibility, quick interfacial contacts, simplicity of functionalization, simplicity of synthesis, interface-to-volume ratio, and low cost. Green polymer nanocomposites have drawn a lot of attention for use in a variety of applications to preserve the environment. Because they are made of eco-friendly materials, they are frequently utilised in the automobile, building, packaging, and medical industries. Eco-friendly solutions to the problems caused by plastic trash are biodegradable polymers produced from renewable sources (microbes, plants, and animals). Plant fibres and natural resins are combined to create green composite materials. These fibres and resins used in green composites can be broken down by bacteria. The mixing of natural fillers and organic polymers results in green polymer nanocomposites with distinct characteristics. This review is anticipated to be comprehensive, compelling, and practical for the scientists and business professionals who collaborate to address a variety of environmental problems on a global scale using green polymer nanocomposites.

Background: In our previous studies, we have identified Gsk-3β as a crucial target molecule in response to Danhong injection for cerebral ischemia intervention. Furthermore, it can serve as a molecular imaging probe for medical diagnosis. Bacterial magnetic particles (BMPs), synthesized by magnetotactic bacteria, are regarded as excellent natural nanocarriers. Methods: In this study, we utilized biological modification and chemical crosslinking techniques to produce a multifunctional BMP known as "RVG29-BMP-FA-Gsk-3β-Ab", which exhibits both magnetic properties and brain-targeting capabilities. Then, a combination of analytical techniques was used to characterize the properties of the multifunctional BMPs. Finally, we evaluated the cell targeting ability of the RVG29-BMP-FA-Gsk-3β-Ab. Results: The multifunctional BMPs were observed to possess uniform size and shape using TEM analysis, with a particle size of 70.1±7.33 nm. Zeta potential analysis revealed that the nanoparticles exhibited a regular and non-aggregative distribution of particle sizes. Relative fluorescence intensity results demonstrated that the complex of 1mg of RVG29-BMP-FA-Gsk- 3β-Ab could bind to FITC-RVG29 polypeptide at a concentration of 2189.5 nM. Cell viability analysis indicated its high biocompatibility and minimal cytotoxicity. The RVG29-BMP-FAGsk- 3β-Ab was observed to possess active targeting towards neuronal cells and fluorescence imaging capabilities in vitro, as evidenced by fluorescence imaging assays. The complex of RVG29-BMP-FA-Gsk-3β-Ab exhibited favourable properties for early diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine in treating cerebral ischemia. Conclusion: This study establishes a fundamental basis for the prospective implementation of multimodal imaging in traditional Chinese medicine for cerebral ischemia.
