Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon nanotubes show no sign of acute toxicity but induce intracellular reactive oxygen species in dependence on contaminants.

TL;DR: The present data indicate that CNTs are able to cross the cell membrane of rat macrophages and, therefore, might have an influence on cell physiology and function and lead to the conclusion that metal traces associated with the commercial nanotubes are responsible for the biological effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beatriz Pelaz, +91 more
- 14 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: An overview of recent developments in nanomedicine is provided and the current challenges and upcoming opportunities for the field are highlighted and translation to the clinic is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

120 years of nanosilver history: implications for policy makers

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that nanosilver in the form of colloidal silver has been used for more than 100 years and has been registered as a biocidal material in the United States since 1954.
Journal Article

120 Years of Nanosilver History: Implications for Policy Makers [Environmental Science & Technology 2011, 45, 1177-1183 DOI: dx.doi.org/10.1021/es103316q]. Bernd Nowack

TL;DR: It would be a mistake for regulators to ignore the accumulated knowledge of scientific and regulatory heritage in a bid to declare nanosilver materials as new chemicals, with unknown properties and automatically harmful simply on the basis of a change in nomenclature to the term "nano".
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanotoxicology: An Interdisciplinary Challenge

TL;DR: It will be demonstrated that the many data made available on the biological effects of nanomaterials do not always come from studies that can be considered reliable, thereby contributing to a sustainable improvement of the available data.
