Silica Nanoparticles Inhibit ATP Responses of Human Airway Epithelial 16HBE Cells
2021-05-26
Abstract excerpt
Because of their low cost and easy production silica nanoparticles (NPs) are amply used in multiple manufactures as anti-caking, densifying and hydrophobic agents. However, this has increased the exposure levels of the general population and has raised concerns about possible toxicity of this nanomaterial. NPs are known to affect the function of the airway epithelium, but the biochemical pathways targeted by these...
