International Journal of Biomedical Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (IJBNN)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • A comparative review of nanomaterial toxicity in freshwater and marine animal species   Order a copy of this article
    by Hethesh Chellapandian, Sivakamavalli Jeyachandran 
    Abstract: This review compares engineered nanomaterial (ENM) toxicity in freshwater and marine animals, highlighting how environmental factors and physiological responses jointly shape adverse effects. It synthesises recent research on metal-based and carbonaceous nanoparticles and their impacts on key taxa across both ecosystems. Central toxicological mechanisms oxidative stress, membrane damage, and genotoxicity are evaluated considering habitat-specific physicochemical properties such as salinity, ionic strength, and organic matter, which influence nanoparticle transformation, aggregation, and bioavailability. The review examines differing exposure routes, adaptive responses, and species sensitivities, underscoring the complexity of cross-ecosystem risk assessment. It identifies critical knowledge gaps and methodological challenges, proposing refined, ecosystem-specific frameworks to improve predictive toxicology and inform regulatory policies for sustainable nanomaterial management in aquatic environments.
    Keywords: nanomaterial toxicity; freshwater ecosystems; marine ecosystems; oxidative stress; bioaccumulation.

  • Evaluation of immunomodulatory activity of Solanum lycopersicum L. seed extract and its green synthesised copper oxide nanoparticles   Order a copy of this article
    by Sreejita Chattaraj, Partha Sarathi Mandol, Prasanti Sharma, Neelima Sharma 
    Abstract: The immune system is crucial for defending the body against diseases, and immunomodulatory therapies have become promising for enhancing or suppressing immune responses. Solanum lycopersicum L. is a traditionally used herb, rich in bioactive phytoconstituents. Green synthesis of nanoparticles has become a widely explored field that offers an eco-friendly solution to the drawbacks of conventional nano-synthesis. This study explores the immunomodulatory potential of CuO nanoparticles, green-synthesized from Solanum lycopersicum L. seed extract. Preliminary screening confirmed antioxidant properties of the methanolic extract. Cytotoxicity assays revealed safety, while in vivo models demonstrated the immunomodulatory effects of both the extract and the nanoparticles. Results indicate that Solanum lycopersicum extract and its CuO nanoparticles possess antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities. The nanoparticles exhibit superior immunomodulation, suggesting therapeutic potential for immune-compromised conditions. This innovative approach addresses herbal therapy limitations, paving the way for more effective and eco-friendly immunomodulatory strategies.
    Keywords: immunomodulation; Solanum lycopersicum; green synthesis; copper oxide; nanoparticles.
