Oligochitosan Conjugates of the Antimalarials Dihydroartemisinin and Lumefantrine: Synthesis, Stability, Cell Viability, and Antiplasmodial Studies Open
Malaria is treatable with several combinations of drugs, the most well‐known and currently most effective being artemisinin‐based therapies. Gastrointestinal absorption of these drugs can be poor and erratic if not taken with a fatty meal.…

Is “Small” Safe? Exploring the Good and Bad of Nanomaterials Open
“Small” does not necessarily have a clear meaning… is a ball big or small? A ball might be small compared to the entire planet, but it is absolutely huge compared to tiny “nano” particles! If you look at 1 mm on a ruler, one million nanome…

Exposure Assessment of Silver and Gold Nanoparticles Generated During the Synthesis Process in a South African Research Laboratory Open
During the synthesis of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), various occupational exposures occur, leading to health consequences. To date, there is paucity of studies focused on modeling the deposition of nanoparticles emitted from ENMs synth…

Importance of Surface Topography in Both Biological Activity and Catalysis of Nanomaterials: Can Catalysis by Design Guide Safe by Design? Open
It is acknowledged that the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials (NMs) have an impact on their toxicity and, eventually, their pathogenicity. These properties may include the NMs’ surface chemical composition, size, shape, surface c…

Intracellular and extracellular targets as mechanisms of cancer therapy by nanomaterials in relation to their physicochemical properties Open
Cancer nanomedicine has evolved in recent years and is only expected to increase due to the ease with which nanomaterials (NMs) may be manipulated to the advantage of the cancer patient. The success of nanomedicine is dependent on the cell…

The toxicity of respirable South African mine tailings dust in relation to their physicochemical properties Open
Decades of mining in South Africa has given rise to hundreds of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) and several tonnes of waste. These TSFs have contributed to air pollution due to the lack of proper rehabilitation measures. Currently, it i…

Systematic Review of Screening and Surveillance Programs to Protect Workers from Nanomaterials Open
This review of recently published data on surveillance studies proves that there is a gap in the current knowledge, where most of the surveillance-related studies reported do not follow a set format that provides the required information o…
