Nanomaterial-mediated autophagy: coexisting hazard and health benefits in biomedicine

peptides and peptidomimetics: their relevance in autophagy regulation in biomedicine

autophagy is a cellular process mediating degradation of bulk cytoplasm, long-lived proteins and entire organelles. in this process, double-membrane vesicles, the autophagosomes, wrap around portions of cytosol and transport them to the lysosome for degradation. several molecules participate in autophagosome nucleation and elongation, including various components of the class iii pi3k complex, ...

HINARI: Opening access in biomedicine and health

As one considers all the elements and issues of an open publishing environment, it is helpful to understand one of the programmes that exist to enable access in lowand middle-income countries. HINARI arose to meet the stated need for researchers in less resourced areas of the world to have access to up-to-date information in biomedicine, since university libraries and research institutions in l...

Autophagy as a Possible Underlying Mechanism of Nanomaterial Toxicity

The rapid development of nanotechnologies is raising safety concerns because of the potential effects of engineered nanomaterials on human health, particularly at the respiratory level. Since the last decades, many in vivo studies have been interested in the pulmonary effects of different classes of nanomaterials. It has been shown that some of them can induce toxic effects, essentially dependi...

Nanoinformatics for environmental health and biomedicine

Nanotechnology has become a significant enabling technology for a wide array of industries being integrated across diverse areas such as medicine, electronics, biomaterials, and energy production. For example, nano-scaled systems have been designed and utilized for safe and effective targeted delivery of therapeutic agents, demonstrating the rapid advancements of nanotechnology in medical-treat...
