Here, we report the synthesis and evaluation of fullerene C60 nanoparticles' (FC60 NPs) therapeutic efficacy in animals with aluminum-induced oxidative stress. Effects of FC60 NPs on the altered activity levels of neurobiochemical enzymes and oxidative parameters in brain and liver tissues have been evaluated. Aluminum was injected for 3 weeks and from the beginning of the third week, FC60 NPs were injected for 1 week. Administration of FC60 NPs showed a significant improvement in the altered activity level of the selected markers. Results suggest synthesized FC60 NPs as a therapeutic option for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Water stress is one of the critical abiotic stresses and limiting factors in the productivity of plants, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In recent years, the application of bio-fertilizer and stress-modulating nanoparticles (NPs) is known as one of the eco-friendly strategies for improving plants quantity and quality under stressful conditions. In order to achieve the desirable essential oil (EO) quality and quantity of thyme in water deficit conditions, a 2-year field experiment was carried out as a split plot based on the randomized complete block design (RCBD), with 12 treatments and three replications.

Continuous release of nanoparticles (NPs) into marine coastal environments results in an increased risk of exposure to complex NP mixtures for marine organisms. However, to date, the information on the effects at molecular and biochemical levels induced by the exposure to NPs, singly and as a mixture, is still scant. The present work aimed at exploring the independent and combined effects and the mechanism(s) of action induced by 7-days exposure to 1 μg/L nZnO, 1 μg/L nTiO and 1 μg/L FC fullerene in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum, using a battery of immunological and oxidative stress biomarkers in haemolymph, gills and digestive gland.
