Zein-Based Nanoparticles as Active Platforms for Sustainable Applications: Recent Advances and Perspectives

Nanomaterials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(5), С. 414 - 414

Опубликована: Фев. 23, 2024

Nanomaterials, due to their unique structural and functional features, are widely investigated for potential applications in a wide range of industrial sectors. In this context, protein-based nanoparticles, given proteins’ abundance, non-toxicity, stability, offer promising sustainable methodology encapsulation protection, can be used engineered nanocarriers that capable releasing active compounds on demand. Zein is plant-based protein extracted from corn, it biocompatible, biodegradable, amphiphilic. Several approaches technologies currently involved zein-based nanoparticle preparation, such as antisolvent precipitation, spray drying, supercritical processes, coacervation, emulsion procedures. Thanks peculiar characteristics, nanoparticles targeted application fields drug delivery, bioimaging, or soft tissue engineering, reported by others. The main goal review investigate the use different advanced including food/food packaging, cosmetics, agriculture, which attracting researchers’ efforts, exploit future development zein NPs field cultural heritage, still relatively unexplored. Moreover, presented overview focuses several preparation methods (i.e., spry drying), correlating analyzed methodologies NPs’ properties capability act carriers bioactive compounds, both preserve activity tune release specific working conditions.

Microplastics in the Ecosystem: An Overview on Detection, Removal, Toxicity Assessment, and Control Release

Water, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 15(1), С. 51 - 51

Опубликована: Дек. 23, 2022

In recent decades, the accumulation and fragmentation of plastics on surface planet have caused several long-term climatic health risks. Plastic materials, specifically microplastics (MPs; sizes < 5 mm), gained significant interest in global scientific fraternity due to their bioaccumulation, non-biodegradability, ecotoxicological effects living organisms. This study explains how are generated, transported, disposed environment based sources physicochemical properties. Additionally, also examines impact COVID-19 plastic waste production. The physical chemical techniques such as SEM-EDX, PLM, FTIR, Raman, TG-DSC, GC-MS that employed for quantification identification MPs discussed. paper provides insight into conventional advanced methods applied microplastic removal from aquatic systems. finding this review helps gain a deeper understanding research toxicity humans, organisms, soil ecosystems. Further, efforts measures been enforced globally combat MP highlighted need be explored reduce its potential risk future.

Use of Retinoids in Topical Antiaging Treatments: A Focused Review of Clinical Evidence for Conventional and Nanoformulations

Advances in Therapy, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 39(12), С. 5351 - 5375

Опубликована: Окт. 11, 2022

Nowadays, numerous skincare routines are used to rejuvenate aging skin. Retinoids one of the most popular ingredients in antiaging treatments. Among representatives retinoids, tretinoin is considered effective agent with proven effects on skin and can be found formulations approved as medicines for topical treatment acne, facial wrinkles, hyperpigmentation. Other retinoids present various indications, but only tazarotene also adjunctive fine wrinkling pigmentation. The commonly such retinol, retinaldehyde, retinyl palmitate contained cosmeceuticals regulated cosmetics. Since clinical efficacy studies not required marketing cosmetic formulations, there concerns about these retinoids. From a formulation perspective, pose challenge researchers result their instability, low penetration, potential irritation. Therefore, novel delivery systems based nanotechnology being developed overcome limitations conventional improve user compliance. In this review, evidence nanoformulations treatments was evaluated. addition, an overview comparison trials between other presented. general, lack from properly designed support claimed agents cosmeceuticals. Of medicines, adapalene have clinically evaluated compared may alternatives promising retinoid requires more comprehensive evaluation additional preliminary findings.

Nanocarriers as Active Ingredients Enhancers in the Cosmetic Industry—The European and North America Regulation Challenges

Molecules, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 27(5), С. 1669 - 1669

Опубликована: Март 3, 2022

"Flawless skin is the most universally desired human feature" an iconic statement by Desmond Morris. Skin indicates one´s health and so important that it affects a person's emotional psychological behavior, these facts having propelled development of cosmetics industry. It estimated in 2023, this industry will achieve more than 800 billion dollars. This boost due to new cosmetic formulations based on nanotechnology. Nanocarriers have been able solve problems related active ingredients regarding their solubility, poor stability, release. Even though nanocarriers evident benefits, they also present some high cost, low shelf life, toxicity. Regulation legislation are two controversial topics use nanotechnology field cosmetics. In area, U.S. FDA has taken lead recommended several biosafety studies post-market safety evaluations. The lack global definition identifies nanomaterials as ingredient hindrance legislation. EU, stricter. "The cost not only issue, application alternative testing methods for toxicity crucial importance well".

Abstract With the changing disease spectrum, atherosclerosis has become increasingly prevalent worldwide and associated diseases have emerged as leading cause of death. Due to their fascinating physical, chemical, biological characteristics, nanomaterials are regarded a promising tool tackle enormous challenges in medicine. The emerging discipline nanomedicine filled huge application gap atherosclerotic field, ushering new generation diagnosis treatment strategies. Herein, based on essential pathogenic contributors atherogenesis, well distinct composition/structural synthesis strategies, surface design nanoplatforms, three major branches (nanodiagnosis, nanotherapy, nanotheranostic) elaborated. Then, state‐of‐art studies containing sequence representative significant achievements summarized detail with an emphasis intrinsic interaction/relationship between nanomedicines atherosclerosis. Particularly, attention is paid biosafety nanomedicines, which aims pave way for future clinical translation this burgeoning field. Finally, comprehensive review concluded by proposing unresolved key scientific issues sharing vision expectation future, fully elucidating closed loop from atherogenesis paradigm advancing early achievement applications.
