Alterations in DNA methylation corresponding with lung inflammation and as a biomarker for disease development after MWCNT exposure

Abstract excerpt

Use of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) is growing which increases occupational exposures to these materials. Their toxic potential makes it important to have an in-depth understanding of the inflammation and disease that develops due to exposure. Epigenetics is one area of interest that has been quickly developing to assess disease processes due to its ability to change gene expression and thus the lung...
