Quercetin-mediated selenium nanoparticles protect against hyperthyroidism-induced hepatic injury: Involvement of Nrf2/NF-κB signaling, mitochondrial apoptosis, and iron/heme imbalance.

PURPOSE Hyperthyroidism-associated liver injury represents an important extra-thyroidal complication of thyroid hormone excess, driven by increased metabolic demand and interconnected oxidative, inflammatory, and mitochondrial disturbances. However, the coordinated involvement of Nrf2/NF-κB signaling, apoptosis, and ir...

Ferulic acid-mediated selenium nanoparticles attenuate oxaliplatin-induced renal injury in type 2 diabetic rats via modulation of oxidative stress, SIRT1/HMGB1/TLR4 signaling, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptosis.

BACKGROUND Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are susceptible to chemotherapy-induced renal injury because of pre-existing oxidative stress, inflammation, and impaired antioxidant defenses. Ferulic acid-mediated selenium nanoparticles (FA-SeNPs) combine the antioxidant properties of ferulic acid with the bio...

Targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in 5-fluorouracil–induced cardiotoxicity using kaempferol-mediated selenium nanoparticles

5-Flurouracil (5-FU) is still considered as one of the most popular antimetabolite chemotherapy drugs to treat a wide variety of solid tumors. Dose limiting toxicity on major organs, especially cardiovascular system limits the therapeutic use of 5-FU. The current paper addresses the cardioprotective effect of green syn...

Kaempferol conjugated selenium nanoparticles mitigate kidney injury from rhabdomyolysis through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions via Nrf2/NF-κb pathway.

pH-Responsive Carboxymethyl Cellulose-Encapsulating Hesperidin–Selenium Nanoparticles Attenuate Paracetamol-Induced Acute Kidney Injury via Keap-1/Nrf2, NF-κB, and Mitochondrial Apoptosis Modulation

Paracetamol overdose is a major cause of drug-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), driven by oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and tubular apoptosis. This study evaluated the nephroprotective efficacy of pH-responsive carboxymethyl cellulose-encapsulated hesperidin-stabilized selenium nanoparticl...

Bacteria–nanoplastic interactions: mechanisms, ecological consequences, and advances in biodegradation technologies

This review systematically examines nanoplastic–bacteria interactions, highlighting mechanisms such as oxidative stress induction, membrane perturbation, DNA damage, metabolic reprogramming, biofilm modulation, and enhanced horizontal gene transfer, which collectively reshape microbial structure and function.

Rutin-Functionalized Selenium Nanoparticles Attenuate Cisplatin-Induced Cardiohepatic Injury in Rats: Modulation of ER Stress-Related Gene Expression and Mitochondrial Apoptotic Markers

RUT-SeNPs may represent a promising nanoformulation for reducing cisplatin-induced hepato-cardiac toxicity through coordinated modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and apoptosis.
