Cerium dioxide nanoparticles coated with benzo[a]pyrene modify aryl hydrocarbon receptor activity, trophoblast differentiation and mitochondrial network phenotype in human placenta.

Abstract excerpt

A growing body of epidemiological evidence links maternal exposure to air pollution with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth and low birth weight. Cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs or nanoceria) are emerging pollutants, used as additives in diesel fuels and cigarettes for their catalytic properties, and released into the environment. Due to their high surface-to-volume...
