Silver nanoparticles induce neurotoxicity in a human embryonic stem cell-derived neuron and astrocyte network

https://doi.org/10.1080/17435390.2018.1425497

2018-01-15

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are among the most extensively used nanoparticles and are found in a variety of products. This ubiquity leads to inevitable exposure to these particles in everyday life. However, the effects of AgNPs on neuron and astrocyte networ...

Long-term effects of tungsten carbide (WC) nanoparticles in pelagic and benthic aquatic ecosystems

https://doi.org/10.1080/17435390.2017.1421274

2018-01-15

As the production and usage of nanomaterials are increasing so are the concerns related to the release of the material into nature. Tungsten carbide (WC) is widely used for its hard metal properties, although its use, in for instance tyre studs, may result in...

Cardiopulmonary effects induced by occupational exposure to titanium dioxide nanoparticles

https://doi.org/10.1080/17435390.2018.1425502

2018-01-11

Although some toxicological studies have reported that exposure to titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) may elicit adverse cardiopulmonary effects, related data collected from human are currently limited. The purpose of this study is to explore cardiopu...

Fluorescent nanoparticles present in Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola: physiochemical properties, cytotoxicity, biodistribution and digestion studies

https://doi.org/10.1080/17435390.2017.1418443

2017-12-20

Foodborne nanoparticles (NPs) have drawn great attention due to human health concerns. This study reports the detection of the presence of fluorescent NPs, about 5 nm, in two of the most popular beverages, Coca-Cola (Coke) and Pepsi-Cola (Pepsi). The NPs cont...

Dissolution and bandgap paradigms for predicting the toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles in the marine environment: an in vivo study with oyster embryos

https://doi.org/10.1080/17435390.2017.1418920

2017-12-20

Dissolution and bandgap paradigms have been proposed for predicting the ability of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) to induce oxidative stress in different in vitro and in vivo models. Here, we addressed the effectiveness of these paradigms in vivo and under c...

Decision tree models to classify nanomaterials according to the DF4nanoGrouping scheme

https://doi.org/10.1080/17435390.2017.1415388

2017-12-18

To keep pace with its rapid development an efficient approach for the risk assessment of nanomaterials is needed. Grouping concepts as developed for chemicals are now being explored for its applicability to nanomaterials. One of the recently proposed grouping...

Research on the hepatotoxicity mechanism of citrate-modified silver nanoparticles based on metabolomics and proteomics

https://doi.org/10.1080/17435390.2017.1415389

2017-12-18

Citrate-modified silver nanoparticles (AgNP-cit) have received extensive attention due to their excellent antimicrobial properties. However, these particles tend to migrate in vivo, thereby entering the blood circulatory system in granular form and accumulati...

Reactive oxygen species damage drives cardiac and mitochondrial dysfunction following acute nano-titanium dioxide inhalation exposure

https://doi.org/10.1080/17435390.2017.1416202

2017-12-15

Nanotechnology offers innovation in products from cosmetics to drug delivery, leading to increased engineered nanomaterial (ENM) exposure. Unfortunately, health impacts of ENM are not fully realized. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is among the most widely produced E...

Comparison of acute to chronic ratios between silver and gold nanoparticles, using Ceriodaphnia dubia

https://doi.org/10.1080/17435390.2017.1399219

2017-12-01

As integration of nanoparticles (NPs) into products becomes more common, the need to address the paucity of chronic hazard information for aquatic environments required to determine risk potential increases. This study generated acute and chronic toxicity ref...

Bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide) binds to the surface of gold nanoparticles, interferes with biocorona formation and induces human monocyte inflammatory activation

https://doi.org/10.1080/17435390.2017.1401142

2017-12-01

Nanoparticles (NPs) are easily contaminated by bacterial endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]). The presence of LPS can be responsible for many immune/inflammatory effects attributed to NPs. In this study, we examined the effects of LPS adsorption on the NP su...
