From Solid to Fluid: Novel Approaches in Neuromorphic Engineering
Nikitin D, Biederman H and Choukourov A
Neuromorphic engineering is rapidly developing as an approach to mimicking processes in brains using artificial memristors, devices that change conductivity in response to the electrical field (resistive switching effect). Memristor-based neuromorphic systems can overcome the existing problems of slow and energy-inefficient computing that conventional processors face. In the Introduction, the basic principles of memristor operation and its applications are given. The history of switching in sandwich structures and granular metals is reviewed in the Historical Overview. Particular attention is paid to the fundamental articles from the pre-memristor era (the 1960s-70s), which demonstrated the first evidence of resistive switching and predicted the filamentary mechanism of switching. Multi-dimensionality in neuromorphic systems: Despite the powerful computational abilities of traditional memristor arrays, they cannot repeat many organizational characteristics of biological neural networks, i.e., their multi-dimensionality. This part reviews the unconventional nanowire- and nanoparticle-based neuromorphic systems that demonstrate incredible potential for use in reservoir computing due to the unique spiking change in conductance similar to firing in neurons. Liquid-based neuromorphic devices: The transition of neuromorphic systems from solid to liquid state broadens the possibilities for mimicking biological processes. In this section, ionic current memristors are reviewed and, the working principles of which bring us closer to the mechanisms of information transmittance in real synapses. Nanofluids: A novel direction in neuromorphic engineering linked to the application of nanofluids for the formation of reconfigurable nanoparticle networks with memristive properties is given in this section. The Conclusion t summarizes the bullet points of the Review and provides an outlook on the future of liquid-state neuromorphic systems.

Hybrid Nanophotonic Graphene Systems: A Transformative Innovation for Transdermal Drug Delivery
Singh D and Pandey M
Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems (TDDSs) offer non-invasive administration and sustained drug release, enhancing patient compliance. However, the skin's natural barrier, particularly the stratum corneum, limits the effectiveness of TDDS for high molecular weight and hydrophilic substances. Innovations in material science, particularly hybrid nanophotonic graphene systems, present promising solutions. Nanophotonics generate localized photothermal effects to create microchannels in the skin, while graphene enhances permeability through its electrical and thermal conductivity. Hybrid nanophotonic systems, such as photonic crystals, plasmonic nanoparticles, metamaterials, quantum dots, nanowires, fiber optic nanosensors, and nanoantennas, offer precise control and real-time monitoring for applications in cancer therapy, chronic pain management, targeted drug delivery, and personalized medicine. This perspective examines the design, effectiveness, biocompatibility, and clinical implications of these hybrid systems, highlighting their potential to expand transdermal drug delivery and revolutionize treatment in personalized medicine. This particular formulation holds patentability, as supported by product patents that highlight the advancements in hybrid nanophotonic graphene systems for transdermal drug delivery.

Critical Review on the Effect and Mechanism of Realgar Nanoparticles on Lymphoma: State of the Art on In-Vitro Biomedical Studies
Ran W, Chen X, Grant J, Sharma S, Mohammed KA, Kumar A and Abbas M
Lymphoma is a malignant tumor caused by abnormal proliferation of lymphocytes in the lymphatic system. Conventional treatments for lymphoma often have limitations, and new therapeutic strategies need to be explored. Realgar is an ancient Chinese medicine that has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments due to its therapeutic potential for various diseases, including cancer. However, it is a time-consuming waste and has a low absorption rate in the gastrointestinal tract, so it has the disadvantages of oral dose, potential toxicity, and low bioavailability. Recently, the development of nanotechnology has promoted the nanization of realgar particles, which have better physicochemical properties and higher bioavailability. The antitumor activity of Realgar nanoparticles against lymphoma has been demonstrated in preclinical studies. Realgar nanoparticles exhibit cytotoxic effects by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting the growth and proliferation of lymphoma cells. Moreover, these nanoparticles exert immunomodulatory effects by enhancing the activity of immune cells and promoting the cytotoxicity of T lymphocytes against lymphoma cells. Additionally, realgar nanoparticles have been shown to inhibit tumor angiogenesis, thereby restricting the blood supply and nutrient availability to lymphoma cells. Despite promising preclinical data, further research on the role and mechanism of realgar nanoparticles in the treatment of lymphoma remains to be studied. Moreover, the translation of these findings into clinical practice requires rigorous evaluation through well-designed clinical trials. Realgar nanoparticles hold great potential as a novel therapeutic approach for lymphoma, and their development may contribute to the advancement of precision medicine in the field of oncology.

The importance of early diagnosis of hepatitis B virus infection to treat and follow up this disease has led to many advances in diagnostic techniques and materials. Conventional diagnostic tests are not very useful, especially in the early stages of infection; it is therefore suggested that nanomaterials can enhance them by changing and strengthening their performance for a more accurate and rapid diagnosis. Electrochemical immunosensors with unique features such as miniaturization, low cost, specificity, and simplicity have become a convenient and vital tool in the rapid diagnosis of hepatitis B. Different strategies have been presented, such as graphene oxide and gold nanorods [GO-GNRs], graphene oxide [GO], copper metal-organic framework/ electrochemically reduced graphene oxide [Cu-MOF/ErGO] composite, label-free graphene oxide/Fe3O4/Prussian Blue [GO/Fe3O4/PB] immunosensor, and graphene oxide-ferrocene-CS/Au [ GO-Fc-CS/Au] nanoparticle layered electrochemical immunosensor. In this review, we discuss a group of the most widely used nanostructures, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, which are used to develop electrochemical immunosensors for the early diagnosis of the hepatitis B virus.
