Differential Cytotoxicity of Metallic Oxide Nanoparticles in Mammalian Cells

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

Nanomaterials have been increasingly used in industrial applications (e.g., drug delivery, additives to drugs and cosmetics). Because of their wide use, occupational exposure to nanomaterials and nanoparticles may pose as health risks. Recent studies have [...]

Silicon Dioxide Nanoparticles Exert Dissimilar Cytotoxic Effects on Mammalian Cell Types

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

Applications of nanomaterials (e.g., silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles) are ubiquitous. Thus, environmental and occupational exposure to these nanoparticles could pose potential health risk. SiO2 microparticles are toxic in animals in vivo and SiO2 nanoparticles are [...]

Cytotoxic Effects of Short Multi-wall Carbon Nanotubes

Agharkar V.A., Bhushan A., Daniels C.K., Lai J.C.K., Idaho State University, US

The applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), a novel and important class of nanomaterials, can change paradigms of various research areas. Although biomedical applications of CNTs are increasing, their putative cytotoxicity has not been substantially addressed. [...]

Silicon Dioxide Nanoparticles Can Exert Cytotoxic Effects on Neural Cells

Bhushan A., Daniels C.K., Dukhande V., Edgley K.L., Lai J.C.K., Lai M.B., 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 [...]
