Nanotechnology in vaccine and immunology
- Abstract: Title: Nanotechnology in vaccine and immunology
  Authors : Sonali; Rawat, Amisha; Yadav, Monika : Nanotechnology exploits the exclusive characteristics of nanoparticles with size ranging from 1 to 1000 nanometers (nm). Various nanoparticles have presented magnificent potential for the fabrication of new drug carriers and vaccines. For designing vaccine significant attempts are done to engineer novel vaccines and to increase the efficiency of current vaccines for particular diseases. So far, few vaccines are engineered from killed pathogens or protein sub-units, while various vaccines are founded on live-inactivated pathogens that holds the danger of retrieval of their pathogenicity under some immune-compromised circumstances. To circumvent this designing of risk-free effectual vaccines in combination with satisfactory carrier systems are reflected as a vital requirement to attain preferred humoral and cellular immunity for various diseases. In the past years, utilization of vaccines based on nanoparticle has gained a pronounced responsiveness to increase aimed delivery, immunization approaches and vaccine effectiveness to attain preferred immune retorts at the cell level. To increase vaccine efficiency these nanoparticles mustguard the antigens from early proteolytic disintegration, controlled release, enable antigen internalization and management by antigen presenting cells for harmless human usage. Nanoparticles comprised of polymers, lipids, metals and proteins have previously been exploited to achievefew of these characteristics. In this context, various physicochemical characteristics of nanoparticles have a crucial part in the establishment of vaccine efficiency. This review emphases on the usage of nanoparticles centred vaccine and the importance of characteristics of nanoparticles to achieve effective vaccines delivery in order to prompt preferred host immunity against various diseases.Page(s): 1135-1143

Nanotechnology in Forensic Science: Extensive Applications and New
Perspective
- Abstract: Title: Nanotechnology in Forensic Science: Extensive Applications and New Perspective
  Authors : Dahiya, Keshika; Sharma, Hrishita; Biswas, Largee; Verma, Anita Kamra : Rapid advances in nanotechnology are setting new paradigms in science and technology. This field of investigation has its particular substantial importance as the developments in the area of nanotechnology has been integrated in the area of forensic science. Nano-forensic offers a fresh perspective for real-time investigation of crimes with established advanced nano-imaging tools for visualization, nano-manipulators and nanosensors. The great quality sequence data and huge assemblage of strains from all around the globe will offer the foundation for relevant outcomes in microbial forensic examinations. International as well as inter-disciplinary co-operation can advances our skills to interpret the origin, quickly recognize the causes and offer these consequences as proof in court. Past few decades, fingerprints from pollen have been developed as the power of various forensic scientists all over the world, and confirmed to be the key element of one of the greatest influential practice in the uncover and interaction proof- Forensic Palynology. Nano-based strategies hold enormous future in detecting latent fingerprinting, for illicit drug screening and security features. In future, nanotechnology is expected to have a key part in the area of forensic science to offer extra receptive and additionally discriminatory methods to identify and expose lawsuits beside reliable proofs.Page(s): 1144-1147

Role of biologically synthesised nanoparticles in environmental pollution
remediation
- Abstract: Title: Role of biologically synthesised nanoparticles in environmental pollution remediation
  Authors : Shubham : Environmental pollution is serious threat for all living organisms. Nanoparticle synthesis using green approach is a non-toxic, easy and energy saving process. Varieties of species have the unique capability to synthesize commercially useful nanoparticles from various metal salt precursors that can help in environmental remediation. The combination of nanotechnology and bioremediation is known as Nanobioremediation. Researchers have shown that biologically nanoparticles shows great potential in reducing environmental pollution from water and soil by adsorption of pollutants and harmful toxic substances from their environment .These greennanoparticles can converttoxic chemicals into less toxic form. Studies also shown that metal nanoparticles also help in removal of harmful bacteria and fungi from environment which can cause diseases in living system. Green synthesised nanoparticles shows very promising results when it comes to environmental remediation they have been used as dye degrader, Oil degrader, photocatalytic agents, biosensors, heavy metals and persidtent organic particulate (POPs) absorbers etc. This review focus on the current status of different types of biologically synthesised nanoparticles in environmental pollution from different species and future challenges associated with environmental remediation.Page(s): 1148-1152

Nanotechnological interventions in sustainable agriculture
- Abstract: Title: Nanotechnological interventions in sustainable agriculture
  Authors : Sachin; Raj, Rohit; Dhiman, Srishti; Shakya, Leena : The major problems associated with agriculture are the sustainable management of natural resources. With technological innovations and capital investments crop production has increased but care of ecological systems has not been given priorities and thus created imbalance in the natural cycle of the soil, crop productivity, salinization, moisture content, organic matter and seeping problems of pesticides. Nanotechnology provides a plethora of techniques to face the challenges of increasing population and food production, at the same time taking care of the environment, and has opened new avenues for sustainable agriculture. It has a myriad of applications, whether it is in medicine, electronics, agriculture, food technology, environment, cosmetics. Worldwide, there is improvement in sensing which is highly important in agriculture. Crop yield mainly depends on soil fertility, water supply and other environmental factors. Nanotechnology has revolutionised food production commonly referred to as “green nanoagroscience” which implements green chemistry in an eco-friendly manner and using biocompatible methods, which is cost-effective. This review mainly focuses on the latest development in nanobiotechnology and their applications along with challenges in sustainable agriculture developmentand the future prospects.Page(s): 1153-1158
