Laser Ablation as a Versatile Tool To Mimic Polyethylene Terephthalate Nanoplastic Pollutants: Characterization and Toxicology Assessment
Davide Magrì,Paola Sánchez-Moreno,Gianvito Caputo,Francesca Gatto,Francesca Gatto,Marina Veronesi,Giuseppe Bardi,Tiziano Catelani,Daniela Guarnieri,Athanassia Athanassiou,Pier Paolo Pompa,Despina Fragouli +11 more
TL;DR: A reliable top-down approach based on laser ablation of polymers to form polyethylene terephthalate (PET) nanoplastics, which mimic real environmental nanopollutants, unlike synthetic samples obtained by colloidal chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Polysaccharide Nanomaterials: An Overview of Their Immunological Properties.
TL;DR: Natural polysaccharides of high commercial importance, namely, starch, cellulose, chitin, and its deacetylated form chitosan, as well as the seaweed-derived carrageenan and alginate are reviewed, highlighting the importance of their physicochemical feature at the nanoscale for the modulation of the immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein Adsorption: A Feasible Method for Nanoparticle Functionalization?
TL;DR: A critical review of adsorption of specific biomolecules onto nanoparticles as one of the methods for natural surface functionalization, and advantages and limitations are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotransformation and Biological Interaction of Graphene and Graphene Oxide during Simulated Oral Ingestion.
Daniela Guarnieri,Paola Sánchez-Moreno,Antonio Esau Del Rio Castillo,Francesco Bonaccorso,Francesca Gatto,Francesca Gatto,Giuseppe Bardi,Cristina Martín,Ester Vázquez,Tiziano Catelani,Stefania Sabella,Pier Paolo Pompa +11 more
TL;DR: Chronic exposure to digested graphene does not affect intestinal barrier integrity and is not associated with inflammation and cytotoxicity, though possible long-term adverse effects cannot be ruled out.
Journal ArticleDOI
PMA-Induced THP-1 Macrophage Differentiation is Not Impaired by Citrate-Coated Platinum Nanoparticles
Francesca Gatto,Roberta Cagliani,Tiziano Catelani,Daniela Guarnieri,Mauro Moglianetti,Pier Paolo Pompa,Giuseppe Bardi +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that citrate-coated PtNPs are not toxic with these immune cell lines, and do not affect the PMA-stimulated THP-1 macrophage differentiation process in vitro.
