To assess the effect of carbon nanotubes substrated on dendritic cell (DCs) properties, DCs were generated from human monocytes of healthy donors as previously described (Aldinucci A et al, 2010). In particular, isolated monocytes were cultured for 6 days in medium supplemented with GM-CSF (1000U/ml...

As the application of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in consumer products continues to rise, studies have expanded to determine the associated risks of exposure on human and environmental health. In particular, several lines of evidence indicate that exposure to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) could p...

There is great interest in substituting animal with in vitro experimentation in human health risk assessment, but there are rather few comparisons of in vitro and in vivo biological responses to engineered nanomaterials (ENM). We used high-content genomics tools, to compare in vivo pulmonary respon...

Adverse lung effects in rodents following pulmonary exposure to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are well documented. However, systemic effects are less understood. Prospective epidemiological studies have shown increased cardiovascular disease risk after pulmonary exposure to airborne particle...

To further development of our gene expression approach to assess the effects of manufactured nanomaterials at the transcriptional level, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with the potential to distinguish characterization of physi...

Recent in vivo studies reported that inhaled carbon nanotube distribute in the alveolar region resulting in an acute inflammation, progressive fibrotic response and particle accumulation at the bronchoalveolar junction with low clearance. With similar biopersistence and shape as asbestos, a known l...

Carbon nanotubes are cylindrically-shaped carbon nanostructures, made up of layers of graphene rolled onto themselves, with diameters similar to those of neuronal processes. In the last decade, CNT have been used as biocompatible growing substrates for neuronal attachment, differentiation and growth...
