TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss synthesis and characterization of GBMs as well as human and environmental hazard assessment of GBM using in vitro and in vivo model systems with the aim to understand the properties that underlie the biological effects of these materials; not all GBMs are alike, and it is essential that disentangle the structure-activity relationships for this class of materials.

TL;DR: This Account attempts to offer a set of rules for the development of graphene and its derivatives to enhance their overall safety and minimize the risks for adverse reactions in humans from exposure.

TL;DR: It is shown that peri-lesional stereotactic administration of a Caspase-3 siRNA (siCas 3) delivered by functionalized carbon nanotubes (f-CNT) reduced neurodegeneration and promoted functional preservation before and after focal ischemic damage of the rodent motor cortex using an endothelin-1 induced stroke model.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MWCNT produced for industrial purposes exert adverse effects without being internalized by human epithelial and mesothelial pulmonary cell lines.

TL;DR: A preliminary study investigating the fate and structural integrity of amino-functionalized CNTs following stereotactic administration in the brain cortex finds initial observations of CNT degradation within the brain tissue render further systematic investigations using high-resolution tools imperative.
