Biosensors for Detecting Imbalances of Life Systems: Role of Materials and Methods in Improved Outcome

Special issue on Biosensors: materials and methods
Lead 20 program

Any deviation or imbalance from homeostatic state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions in living systems, generally falls under category of disease. Chances of bringing them back to normalcy or closer to healthier state with therapeutic interventions are found to be more successful when they are applied at very early stage. Biosensing has emerged as a process to achieve early detection of deviations in such homeostatic states via evaluation of physiological, chemical, or biomolecular parameters in the subjects. The two main components on which efficiency of biosensors rely are materials used as platform technology and methods of detection used for the task. In this issue we will be assembling recent advancements in the field of Biosensors in terms of used materials and methods in achieving high sensitivity, specificity and predictability in form of original research.

Bio-inspired nanomaterial-based methods for drug and gene delivery

Special issue on Drug Delivery and Gene Delivery
Lead 20 Program

Even with the recent rapid developments in drug discovery and gene-editing platforms, the delivery remained the bottleneck in their application. Biocompatible, non-toxic, tunable, and sustainable delivery methods will define the trajectory and success rate of many therapeutic outcomes. In this special issue, we will focus on recent progress in the area of bio-inspired nanomaterial-based methods for drug and gene delivery.

Mendeley

Mendeley is the popular citation management program from Elsevier, made available for free.

In 2021, Mendeley has updated its program and group feature in it has been discontinued. Scholars may download the recent version of Mendeley software from its site and use for inserting the citations in manuscript.

There are many tutorial videos available on the Youtube that users can watch to learn about ‘how to use Mendeley and insert references in manuscripts’. Just visit youtube and search for term ‘mendeley’ to find the latest new videos.

Immunoendocrine regulation of energy homeostasis and male reproduction

Male reproduction and its intricate neuroimmunoendocrine regulations open a wide scope of scientific interventions. Male infertility, being responsible for about half of the overall global infertility cases, represents a complex pathophysiological mechanism. Crosstalk among the endogenous immune and endocrine mediators may affect male gonadal functions. Since male reproduction is fine-tuned by orchestrated regulation of reproductive hormones and immune regulators, a better understanding of these chemical regulations will potentiate further research in this direction.

This issue aims to summarize the current knowledge on the hormonal and immunological regulations of male reproductive functions in physiological and pathophysiological conditions of male reproduction.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

Energy homeostasis and male reproduction
Immunoendocrine regulation of male reproductive functions
Adipokines and energy metabolism in male fertility
Obesity and male infertility: energy imbalance to inflammation
Endocrine regulation of epigenetics of reproductive tract inflammation
Altered energy metabolism and immune regulation in aged men

In vitro anticancer and antitubercular activities of cellulose-magnetite nanocomposite synthesized using deep eutectic solvent as a dispersant

In the current scenario, Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are persuasive greener solvents for the successful synthesis of different nanostructures due to their tunable properties with enhanced applications. We report here the successful formation of a nanocomposite based on cellulose and magnetite nanoparticles. The method of isolating cellulose from fruit shells of Limonia acidissima (L.) as detailed in the work is described for the first time. Magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized through the cost effective co-precipitation method and DES embracing choline chloride and fructose were used as non-toxic dispersant for the synthesis of cellulose-magnetite nanocomposite. Various physiochemical parameters like compositional, structural, morphological and magnetic properties are analyzed using FTIR, XRD, HRTEM, SAED and VSM techniques. Anticancer and antitubercular activities, performed by MTT and LRP assays respectively, reveals that the IC₅₀values for cellulose, magnetite and cellulose-magnetite nanocomposite are found to be 20.65 µg/ml, 44.66 µg/ml and 8.685 µg/ml and cellulose-magnetite nanocomposite shows 51.95% inhibition at 200 µg/ml concentration against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The obtained results suggest that the prepared cellulose-magnetite nanocomposite can serve as a potential candidate for drug designing with the use of green solvents.

Biosynthesis of Silver nanoparticles using Olive Wastewater

Biosynthesis of the metallic nanoparticle is gaining importance because it is a single-step process, nontoxic, environmentally acceptable, and easily scaled up. The present study investigated the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) via reacting olive wastewater filtrate (OWF) with silver nitrate, and the formation of AgNPs was confirmed by a color change of the reaction mixture and visible spectrophotometry. Additionally, the influence of pH, reaction time, AgNO₃ concentration, temperature, and OWF volume on the proposed method was investigated. It was found that with increasing the mentioned parameters, the formation of the AgNPs was increased under the experimental conditions. The results showed that OWF represented a promising material for the biosynthesis of AgNPs.

Medicinal applications of Saffron plant in Neurological disorders

Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) has been widely used in traditional or phytomedicine as a treatment of neurological disorders. The saffron is showing great potential to treat various neurological diseases without any apparent side effects. As there are very limited drugs available for the treatment of neurological diseases, saffron provides hope to treat the brain disorders and conditions such as anxiety, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease. This brief review deals with medicinal applications of saffron plant towards neurological diseases
