AbstractConventional treatment modes like chemotherapy, thermal and radiations aimed at cancerous cells eradication are marked by destruction pointing the employment of nanomaterials as sustainable and auspicious materials for saving human lives. Cancer has been deemed as the second leading cause of death on a global scale. Nanomaterials employment in cancer treatment is based on the utilization of their inherent physicochemical characteristics in addition to their modification for using as nano-carriers and nano-vehicles eluted with anti-cancer drugs. Current work has reviewed the significant role of different types of nanomaterials in cancer therapeutics and diagnostics in a systematic way. Compilation of review has been done by analyzing voluminous investigations employing ERIC, MEDLINE, NHS Evidence and Web of Science databases. Search engines used were Google scholar, Jstore and PubMed. Current review is suggestive of the remarkable performance of nanomaterials making them candidates for cancer treatment for substitution of destructive treatment modes through investigation of their physicochemical characteristics, utilization outputs and long term impacts in patients.

Recently, inorganic nanomaterials have received considerable attention for use in biomedical applications owing to their unique physicochemical properties based on their shapes, sizes, and surface characteristics. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and chemical dynamic therapy (CDT), which are cancer therapeutics mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), have the potential to significantly enhance the therapeutic precision and efficacy for cancer. To facilitate cancer therapeutics, numerous inorganic nanomaterials have been developed to generate ROS. This mini review provides an overview of the generation mechanisms of ROS by representative inorganic nanomaterials for cancer therapeutics, including the structures of engineered inorganic nanomaterials, ROS production conditions, ROS types, and the applications of the inorganic nanomaterials in cancer PDT, SDT, and CDT.

Information support of crisis management requires the creation of a communication infrastructure, based on the program-target method, within which technological standards and profiles are formed – technological platforms. The information support of the crisis management of enterprises, based on the use of communication tools of the technological platform, as an interface of the innovative infrastructure, allowing increase the efficiency of the information component of the enterprise management system, has been improved in the paper. Based on the technological platform, new research and production cooperations, innovation clusters will be formed, which will allow overcome the crisis state of enterprises.

Medication related osteonecrosis of jaw (MRONJ) is a rare iatrogenic disease. Cancer therapeutics is advancing exponentially and apart from a major emphasis on quality of life (QoL) in metastatic patients, now we are foreseeing increased longevity. This necessitates the rising need of betterment of supportive care modalities and looking into the rare complications of therapy. Bisphosphonates (BPs) and Denosumab, the anti-resorptive agents (ARAs) used commonly by medical oncologists in cancers with bone metastases and less commonly in prevention or treatment of osteoporosis, are implicated in the etiology of MRONJ. Many a times, it goes undetected, underdiagnosed and untreated due to lack of awareness, low index of suspicion and paucity of understanding of this disorder amongst medical oncology fraternity. A high index of suspicion is a cornerstone of timely diagnosis and therapeutic action. A regular collaboration between treating oncologist and dentist is of utmost importance.

The formation of technological platforms, using the advantages of public-private partnership, can be considered as an effective cooperation and partnership tool for the mechanism of implementation of national priorities of high-tech development, including the formation of a sustainable balance of scientific and industrial relations. The functioning of technological platforms in this strategic algorithm will clarify and adjust the priorities of innovative high-tech development and consistent development of the national innovation system. The activation mechanism of the innovative component of the implementation of various projects using public-private partnership could be a policy of consistent motivation of competition in innovation.

This paper review current trends in applications of nanomaterials in tissue engineering. Nanomaterials applicable in this area can be divided into two groups: organic and inorganic. Organic nanomaterials are especially used for the preparation of highly porous scaffolds for cell cultivation and are represented by polymeric nanofibers. Inorganic nanomaterials are implemented as they stand or dispersed in matrices promoting their functional properties while preserving high level of biocompatibility. They are used in various forms (e.g., nano- particles, -tubes and -fibers)—and when forming the composites with organic matrices—are able to enhance many resulting properties (biologic, mechanical, electrical and/or antibacterial). For this reason, this contribution points especially to such type of composite nanomaterials. Basic information on classification, properties and application potential of single nanostructures, as well as complex scaffolds suitable for 3D tissues reconstruction is provided. Examples of practical usage of these structures are demonstrated on cartilage, bone, neural, cardiac and skin tissue regeneration and replacements. Nanomaterials open up new ways of treatments in almost all areas of current tissue regeneration, especially in tissue support or cell proliferation and growth. They significantly promote tissue rebuilding by direct replacement of damaged tissues.

ABSTRACTWe report the synthesis of CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS (core/shell/shell) quantum dots (QDs) as a fluorescence probe for biological cells, and their functionalization with carbon nanotube (CNT)-retrovirus complexes (labeled with the QDs) to form multi-functional tool with potential applications for cancer therapeutics. A mild method for preparing this QD-CNT-retrovirus complex, which preserves viral function, is reported. Observations and imaging under fluorescence confocal microscope show the expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene and QD uptake in viable cells, indicating that this novel probe is able to enter cells, crossing the natural barrier of the cell membranes. Such multi-functional probes have potential as medical diagnostics and for therapeutics for diseases including cancer. The multifunctional probe is of interest for potentially broad applications – with the quantum dots as the visualization aid, carbon nanotubes as an efficient opto-thermo converter for selective extermination of cells with the help of light irradiation at near-IR range, and the retrovirus as a vehicle for genetic therapy.

Pathogens of viral origin produce a large variety of infectious diseases in livestock. It is essential to establish the best practices in animal care and an efficient way to stop and prevent infectious diseases that impact animal husbandry. So far, the greatest way to combat the disease is to adopt a vaccine policy. In the fight against infectious diseases, vaccines are very popular. Vaccination's fundamental concept is to utilize particular antigens, either endogenous or exogenous to induce immunity against the antigens or cells. In light of how past emerging and reemerging infectious diseases and pandemics were handled, examining the vaccination methods and technological platforms utilized for the animals may provide some useful insights. New vaccine manufacturing methods have evolved because of developments in technology and medicine and our broad knowledge of immunology, molecular biology, microbiology, and biochemistry, among other basic science disciplines. Genetic engineering, proteomics, and other advanced technologies have aided in implementing novel vaccine theories, resulting in the discovery of new ruminant vaccines and the improvement of existing ones. Subunit vaccines, recombinant vaccines, DNA vaccines, and vectored vaccines are increasingly gaining scientific and public attention as the next generation of vaccines and are being seen as viable replacements to conventional vaccines. The current review looks at the effects and implications of recent ruminant vaccine advances in terms of evolving microbiology, immunology, and molecular biology.
