Silicon Dioxide Nanoparticles Can Exert Cytotoxic Effects on Neural Cells

Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., Edgley K.L., Bhushan A., Dukhande V., Daniels C.K., Leung S.W., Idaho State University, US

The health risk and cytotoxic effects of nanoparticles are almost unknown. Consequently, we have launched an interdisciplinary research program to systematically investigate the toxicity of nanoparticles. An initial observation prompted us to hypothesize that SiO2 [...]

Transport of Ionic Electrolytes and Proteins through Semipermeable Membrane

Leung S.W., Trigo C., Daniels C.K., Bhushan A., Lai J.C.K., Idaho State University, US

Surfactants are known to influence functions of many proteins in membranes, cells and tissues. Because most studies to elucidate the effects of surfactants on membrane-bound proteins and cells employed heterogeneous or complex systems, it is [...]
