Multi-endpoint toxicological assessment of polystyrene nano- and microparticles in different biological models in vitro

TL;DR: This study investigated the transport and effects of 50 nm and 0.5 μm COOH-modified polystyrene (PS) particles, as representatives for NP and MP, in different biological models in vitro, and identified them as weak embryotoxic and non-genotoxic.

Nanotoxicology: An Emerging Discipline Evolving from Studies of Ultrafine Particles

TL;DR: Results of older bio-kinetic studies with NSPs and newer epidemiologic and toxicologic studies with airborne ultrafine particles can be viewed as the basis for the expanding field of nanotoxicology, which can be defined as safety evaluation of engineered nanostructures and nanodevices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulated portals of entry into the cell

TL;DR: ‘Endocytosis’ encompasses several diverse mechanisms by which cells internalize macromolecules and particles into transport vesicles derived from the plasma membrane and must be viewed in a broader context than simple vesicular trafficking.

Drug delivery and nanoparticles:applications and hazards

TL;DR: An overview on some of the currently used systems for drug delivery, varying from biological substances like albumin, gelatine and phospholipids for liposomes, and more substances of a chemical nature like various polymers and solid metal containing nanoparticles is provided.

Understanding the nanoparticle-protein corona using methods to quantify exchange rates and affinities of proteins for nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The rates of protein association and dissociation are determined using surface plasmon resonance technology with nanoparticles that are thiol-linked to gold, and through size exclusion chromatography of protein–nanoparticle mixtures, and this method is developed into a systematic methodology to isolate nanoparticle-associated proteins.

Nanoparticle size and surface properties determine the protein corona with possible implications for biological impacts

TL;DR: The long-lived (“hard”) protein corona formed from human plasma is studied for a range of nanoparticles that differ in surface properties and size and both size and surface properties were found to play a very significant role.
