Differential reactivity of engineered nanomaterials with human alveolar epithelium and macrophages in vitro : importance of physicochemistry
2013-01-01
Abstract excerpt
There is a vast range of diverse consumer applications for engineered nanomaterials (ENM). Commercially, titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) are two of the most popular ENMs. Appreciating the overt vulnerability of the lung to ENM occupational and consumer exposure, we studied the biointeraction of these ENMs with cells of the alveolar unit. We hypothesised that the bioreactivity...
