Abstract
The interactions between biosystems and nanomaterials regulate most of their theranostic and nanomedicine applications. These nanomaterial-biosystem interactions are highly complex and influenced by a number of entangled factors, including but not limited to the physicochemical features of nanomaterials, the types and characteristics of the interacting biosystems, and the properties of the surrounding microenvironments. Over the years, different experimental approaches coupled with computational modeling have revealed important insights into these interactions, although many outstanding questions remain unanswered. The emergence of machine learning has provided a timely and unique opportunity to revisit nanomaterial-biosystem interactions and to further push the boundary of this field. This minireview highlights the development and use of machine learning to decode nanomaterial-biosystem interactions and provides our perspectives on the current challenges and potential opportunities in this field.

Abstract
Assessment and prediction for the ecotoxicity of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) at the community or ecosystem levels represents a critical step toward a comprehensive understanding of the ecological risks of ENPs. Current studies on predicting the ecotoxicity of ENPs primarily focus on the cellular and individual levels, with limited exploration at the community or ecosystem levels. Herein, we present the first of the reports for the direct prediction of aquatic ecological risk for ENPs at the community level using machine learning (ML) approaches in the field of computational toxicology. Specifically, we extensively collected the threshold concentrations of twelve ENPs including metal- and carbon-based nanoparticles for aquatic species, i.e., hazardous concentrations at which 5% of species are harmed (HC5), established by a species sensitivity distribution. Afterwards, we used eight supervised ML methods including Adaboost, artificial neural network, C4.5 decision tree, K-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, Naive Bayes, random forest, and support vector machine to develop nine classification models and four regression models, respectively, for the qualitative and quantitative prediction of HC5. The evaluation of model performance yielded the internal validation accuracy of all classification models ranging from 71.4 to 100%, and the determination coefficient of regression models ranging from 0.702 to 0.999, indicating that the developed models showed good performance. By using a cross-validation method and an application domain characterization, the selected models were further validated to have powerful predictive ability. Furthermore, the incorporation of three nanostructural descriptors (metal oxide sublimation enthalpy, zeta potential, and specific surface area) linked to toxicity mechanisms (the release of metal ions, the stability of dispersions of particles in aqueous suspensions, and the surface properties of the material) effectively enhanced the prediction power and mechanistic interpretability of the selected models. These findings would not only be beneficial in the screening of ENPs with potential high ecological risks that need to be tested as a priority but also contribute to the development of environmental regulations and standards for ENPs.

Abstract
Nanoparticulate systems have the prospect of accounting for a new making of drug delivery systems. Nanotechnology is manifested to traverse the hurdle of both physical and biological sciences by implementing nanostructures indistinct fields of science, particularly in nano-based drug delivery. The low delivery efficiency of nanoparticles is a critical obstacle in the field of tumor diagnosis. Several nano-based drug delivery studies are focused on for tumor diagnosis. But, the nano-based drug delivery efficiency was not increased for tumor diagnosis. This work proposes a method called point biserial correlation symbiotic organism search nanoengineering-based drug delivery (PBC-SOSN). The objective and aim of the PBC-SOSN method is to achieve higher drug delivery efficiency and lesser drug delivery time for tumor diagnosis. The contribution of the PBC-SOSN is to optimized nanonengineering-based drug delivery with higher r drug delivery detection rate and smaller drug delivery error detection rate. Initially, raw data acquired from the nano-tumor dataset, and nano-drugs for glioblastoma dataset, overhead improved preprocessed samples are evolved using nano variational model decomposition-based preprocessing. After that, the preprocessed samples as input are subjected to variance analysis and point biserial correlation-based feature selection model. Finally, the preprocessed samples and features selected are subjected to symbiotic organism search nanoengineering (SOSN) to corroborate the objective. Based on these findings, point biserial correlation-based feature selection and a symbiotic organism search nanoengineering were tested for their modeling performance with a nano-tumor dataset and nano-drugs for glioblastoma dataset, finding the latter the better algorithm. Incorporated into the method is the potential to adjust the drug delivery detection rate and drug delivery error detection rate of the learned method based on selected features determined by nano variational model decomposition for efficient drug delivery.

Abstract
Neoplasias pose a significant threat to aging society, underscoring the urgent need to overcome the limitations of traditional chemotherapy through pioneering strategies. Targeted drug delivery is an evolving frontier in cancer therapy, aiming to enhance treatment efficacy while mitigating undesirable side effects. One promising avenue utilizes cell membrane receptors like the folate receptor to guide drug transporters precisely to malignant cells. Based on the cellular folate receptor as a cancer cell hallmark, targeted nanocarriers and small molecule-drug conjugates have been developed that comprise different (bio) chemistries and/or mechanical properties with individual advantages and challenges. Such modern folic acid-conjugated stimuli-responsive drug transporters provide systemic drug delivery and controlled release, enabling reduced dosages, circumvention of drug resistance, and diminished adverse effects. Since the drug transporters' structure-based de novo design is increasingly relevant for precision cancer remediation and diagnosis, this review seeks to collect and debate the recent approaches to deliver therapeutics or diagnostics based on folic acid conjugated Trojan Horses and to facilitate the understanding of the relevant chemistry and biochemical pathways. Focusing exemplarily on brain and breast cancer, recent advances spanning 2017 to 2023 in conjugated nanocarriers and small molecule drug conjugates were considered, evaluating the chemical and biological aspects in order to improve accessibility to the field and to bridge chemical and biomedical points of view ultimately guiding future research in FR-targeted cancer therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
Aim: This report proposes using the Hill model to assess the benchmark dose, the 50% lethal dose, the cooperativity and the dissociation constant while analyzing cell viability data using nanomaterials to evaluate the antitumor potential while combined with radiofrequency therapy. Materials & methods: A nanocomposite was synthesized (graphene oxide-polyethyleneimine-gold) and the viability was evaluated using two tumor cell lines, namely LLC-WRC-256 and B16-F10. Results: Our findings demonstrated that while the nanocomposite is biocompatible against the LLC-WRC-256 and B16-F10 cancer cell lines in the absence of radiofrequency, the application of radiofrequency enhances the cell toxicity by orders of magnitude. Conclusion: This result points to prospective studies with the tested cell lines using tumor animal models.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a rapidly developing discipline that has the potential to transform the way we approach problems in a variety of fields, including agriculture. The use of nanotechnology in sustainable agriculture has gained popularity in recent years. It has various applications in agriculture, such as the development of nanoscale materials and devices to boost agricultural productivity, enhance food quality and safety, improve the efficiency of water and nutrient usage, and reduce environmental pollution. Nanotechnology has proven to be very beneficial in this field, particularly in the development of nanoscale delivery systems for agrochemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers, and growth regulators. These nanoscale delivery technologies offer various benefits over conventional delivery systems, including better penetration and distribution, enhanced efficacy, and lower environmental impact. Encapsulating agrochemicals in nanoscale particles enables direct delivery to the targeted site in the plant, thereby reducing waste and minimizing off-target effects. Plants are fundamental building blocks of all ecosystems and evaluating the interaction between nanoparticles (NPs) and plants is a crucial aspect of risk assessment. This critical review therefore aims to provide an overview of the latest advances regarding the positive and negative effects of nanotechnology in agriculture. It also explores potential future research directions focused on ensuring the safe utilization of NPs in this field, which could lead to sustainable development. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Although engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have tremendous potential to generate technological benefits in numerous sectors, uncertainty on the risks of ENMs for human health and the environment may impede the advancement of novel materials. Traditionally, the risks of ENMs can be evaluated by experimental methods such as environmental field monitoring and animal-based toxicity testing. However, it is time-consuming, expensive, and impractical to evaluate the risk of the increasingly large number of ENMs with the experimental methods. On the contrary, with the advancement of artificial intelligence and machine learning, in silico methods have recently received more attention in the risk assessment of ENMs. This review discusses the key progress of computational nanotoxicology models for assessing the risks of ENMs, including material flow analysis models, multimedia environmental models, physiologically based toxicokinetics models, quantitative nanostructure-activity relationships, and meta-analysis. Several challenges are identified and a perspective is provided regarding how the challenges can be addressed.

Abstract
The increase of human and environmental exposure to engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) due to the emergence of nanotechnology has raised concerns over their safety. The challenging nature of in vivo and in vitro toxicity assessment methods for ENMs, has led to emerging in silico techniques for ENM toxicity assessment, such as structure-activity relationship (SAR) models. Although such approaches have been extensively developed for the case of single-component nanomaterials, the case of multicomponent nanomaterials (MCNMs) has not been thoroughly addressed. In this paper, we present a SAR approach for the case metal and metal oxide MCNMs. The developed SAR framework is built using a dataset of 796 individual toxicity measurements for 340 different MCNMs, towards human cells, mammalian cells, and bacteria. The novelty of the approach lies in the multicomponent nature of the nanomaterials, as well as the size, diversity and heterogeneous nature of the dataset used. Furthermore, the approach used to calculate descriptors for surface loaded MCNMs, and the mechanistic insight provided by the model results can assist the understanding of MCNM toxicity. The developed models are able to correctly predict the toxic class of the MCNMs in the heterogeneous dataset, towards a wide range of human cells, mammalian cells and bacteria. Using the abovementioned approach, the principal toxicity pathways and mechanisms are identified, allowing a more holistic understanding of metal oxide MCNM toxicity.

Abstract
The widespread application of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in various industries has demonstrated their effectiveness over the years. However, modifications to NPs' physicochemical properties can lead to toxicological effects. Therefore, understanding the toxicity behaviour of NPs is crucial. In this paper, regularized regression models, such as ridge, LASSO, and elastic net, were constructed to predict the cytotoxicity of various engineered NPs. The dataset utilized in this study was compiled from several journals published between 2010 and 2022. Data exploration revealed missing values, which were addressed through listwise deletion and kNN imputation, resulting in two complete datasets. The ridge, LASSO, and elastic net models achieved F1 scores ranging from 91.81% to 92.65% during internal validation and 92.89% to 93.63% during external validation on Dataset 1. On Dataset 2, the models attained F1 scores between 92.16% and 92.43% during internal validation and 92% and 92.6% during external validation. These results indicate that the developed models effectively generalize to unseen data and demonstrate high accuracy in classifying cytotoxicity levels. Furthermore, the cell type, material, cell source, cell tissue, synthesis method, and coat or functional group were identified as the most important descriptors by the three models across both datasets.

Abstract
Foreshadowing future needs has catapulted the progress of skin-like electronic devices for human-machine interactions. These devices possess human skin-like properties such as stretchability, self-healability, transparency, biocompatibility, and wearability. This review highlights the recent progress in a promising material, MXenes, to realize soft, deformable, skin-like electrodes. Various structural designs, fabrication strategies, and rational guidelines adopted to realize MXene-based skin-like electrodes are outlined. We explicitly discussed machine learning-based material informatics to understand and predict the properties of MXenes. Finally, an outlook on the existing challenges and the future roadmap to realize soft skin-like MXene electrodes to facilitate technological advances in the next-generation human-machine interactions has been described.

Abstract
A simulation of the effect of metal nano-oxides at various concentrations (25, 50, 100, and 200 milligrams per millilitre) on cell viability in THP-1 cells (%) based on data on the molecular structure of the oxide and its concentration is proposed. We used a simplified molecular input-line entry system (SMILES) to represent the molecular structure. So-called quasi-SMILES extends usual SMILES with special codes for experimental conditions (concentration). The approach based on building up models using quasi-SMILES is self-consistent, i.e., the predictive potential of the model group obtained by random splits into training and validation sets is stable. The Monte Carlo method was used as a basis for building up the above groups of models. The CORAL software was applied to building the Monte Carlo calculations. The average determination coefficient for the five different validation sets was R2 = 0.806 ± 0.061.

Abstract
With the rapid progress of nanotechnology, various nanoparticles (NPs) have been applicated in our daily life. In the field of nanotechnology, metal-based NPs are an important component of engineered NPs, including metal and metal oxide NPs, with a variety of biomedical applications. However, the unique physicochemical properties of metal-based NPs confer not only promising biological effects but also pose unexpected toxic threats to human body at the same time. For safer application of metal-based NPs in humans, we should have a comprehensive understanding of NP toxicity. In this review, we summarize our current knowledge about metal-based NPs, including the physicochemical properties affecting their toxicity, mechanisms of their toxicity, their toxicological assessment, the potential strategies to mitigate their toxicity and current status of regulatory movement on their toxicity. Hopefully, in the near future, through the convergence of related disciplines, the development of nanotoxicity research will be significantly promoted, thereby making the application of metal-based NPs in humans much safer.
