Nanomaterials such as silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are used in various fields owing to their unique properties, especially biomedical applications. It has been reported that these particles induce different kinds of toxicity cells; therefore, it is very important perform multifaceted analyses for accurate nanotoxicity evaluation. Most existing studies have primarily conducted the presence ...

Despite rapid development and application of a wide range of manufactured metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs), the understanding of potential risks of using NPs is less completed, especially at the molecular level. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) has been emerging as an environmental model to study the molecular mechanism of environmental contaminations, using standard genetic tools...

For the very few people who may not have an understanding of nanotechnology, here is a quick overview. Nanotechnology is an emerging multidisciplinary technology that involves the synthesis of molecules in the nanoscale (i.e., 10 9 m) size range. The origin of the term ‘‘nanotechnology’’ is derived from the Greek word ‘‘nano,’’ meaning ’’dwarf.’’ From a chemistry and material science perspectiv...
