Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis of cellular toxicity for cadmium-containing quantum dots
Eunkeu Oh,Rong Liu,Andre E. Nel,Kelly Boeneman Gemill,Muhammad Bilal,Yoram Cohen,Igor L. Medintz +6 more
TL;DR: The approach of integrating quantitative and categorical data provides a roadmap for interrogating the wide-ranging toxicity data in the literature and suggests that meta-analysis can help develop methods for predicting the toxicity of engineered nanomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processing pathway dependence of amorphous silica nanoparticle toxicity: colloidal vs pyrolytic.
Haiyuan Zhang,Darren R. Dunphy,Xingmao Jiang,Huan Meng,Bingbing Sun,Derrick Tarn,Min Xue,Xiang Wang,Sijie Lin,Zhaoxia Ji,Ruibin Li,Fred L. Garcia,Jing Yang,Martin L. Kirk,Tian Xia,Jeffrey I. Zink,Andre E. Nel,C. Jeffrey Brinker +17 more
TL;DR: This study emphasizes that not all amorphous silicas are created equal and that the unusual toxicity of fumed silica compared to that of colloidal silica derives from its framework and surface chemistry along with its fused chainlike morphology established by high-temperature synthesis and rapid thermal quenching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particulate matter and atherosclerosis: role of particle size, composition and oxidative stress
Jesus A. Araujo,Andre E. Nel +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that ultrafine particles (<0.18 μm) enhance early atherosclerosis, partly due to their high content in redox cycling chemicals and their ability to synergize with known proatherogenic mediators in the promotion of tissue oxidative stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
How exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, outdoor air pollutants, and increased pollen burdens influences the incidence of asthma.
TL;DR: It is illustrated how environmental tobacco smoke, outdoor air pollution, and climate change may act as environmental risk factors for the development of asthma and mechanistic explanations for how some of these effects can occur are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of particulate pollutants in pulmonary inflammation and asthma: evidence for the involvement of organic chemicals and oxidative stress.
TL;DR: Evidence that diesel exhaust particle organic extracts induce reactive oxygen species in macrophages and bronchial epithelial cells, two key cell types targeted by particulate matter in the lung, is discussed.
