Journal ArticleDOI

Kupffer cells are central in the removal of nanoparticles from the organism

TL;DR: In inert gold nanoparticles do not penetrate cell membranes by non-endocytotic mechanisms, but are rather taken up by endocytosis; part of these tiny nanoparticles are released into the urine as a result of simple filtration in the renal glomeruli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of oxidative damage in toxicity of particulates

TL;DR: The results indicate that oxidative stress and elevated levels of oxidatively altered biomolecules are important intermediate endpoints that may be useful markers in hazard characterization of particulates.
Journal Article

The Comet Assay as a Rapid Test in Biomonitoring Occupational Exposure to DNA-damaging Agents and Effect of Confounding Factors

TL;DR: It is argued that none of the confounding factors are unequivocally positive in the majority of the studies and recommended that age, gender, and smoking status be used as criteria for the selection of populations and that data on exercise, diet, and recent infections be registered before blood sampling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lung inflammation and genotoxicity following pulmonary exposure to nanoparticles in ApoE-/- mice

TL;DR: The data suggest that ApoE-/- model is sensitive for evaluating particle induced inflammation and shows that instillation of CB was more toxic than inhalation of a presumed similar dose with respect to inflammation in the lungs of Apo E-/- mice.
