- 1From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is a significant risk factor for increased cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality. The mechanism of PM-mediated pathophysiology remains unknown. However, PM is...
- 2From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been linked to several adverse cardiopulmonary effects, probably via biological mechanisms involving inflammation. The pro-inflammatory potential of PM depends on...
- 3From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Particulate air pollution in lung epithelial cells induces pathogenic endpoints like proliferation, apoptosis, and pro-inflammatory reactions. The activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)...
- 4From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedParticle toxicology arose in order to understand the mechanisms of adverse effects of 3 major particle types that had historically exerted the greatest toll of ill-health--quartz, coal and asbestos. By the middle of the...
- 5From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground There is growing evidence that particulate air pollution derived from wood stoves causes acute inflammation in the respiratory system, increases the incidence of asthma and other allergic diseases, and...
- 6From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Particulate air pollution is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Although the precise mechanisms underlying this association are still unclear, the induction of systemic...

NanoTIO2 (UV-Titan) does not induce ESTR mutations in the germline of prenatally exposed female mice
Background Particulate air pollution has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Animal studies have shown that inhalation of air particulates induces mutations in the male germline.... - 8From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are engineered graphene cylinders with numerous applications in engineering, electronics and medicine. However, CNTs cause inflammation and fibrosis in the rodent lung, suggesting a...
- 9From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9) Peer-ReviewedBackground Histamine released from mast cells, through complex interactions involving the binding of IgE to Fc[epsilon]RI receptors and the subsequent intracellular Ca.sup.2+ .sup.signaling, can mediate many...
- 10From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedWe determined the ability of a model nanoparticle (NP) (titanium dioxide, TiO.sub.2) to modulate sensitization induced by a known potent dermal sensitizer (dinitrochlorobenzene) using a variant of the local lymph node...
- 11From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Frustrated phagocytosis has been stated as an important factor in the initiation of an inflammatory response after fibre exposure. The length of fibrous structures has been linked to the potential of...
- 12From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9) Peer-ReviewedBackground Widespread occupational exposure to carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs) raises concerns over their safety. CBNPs are genotoxic in vitro but less is known about their genotoxicity in various organs in vivo....
- 13From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground It has been well recognized that toxicity of fine ambient air particulate matter (PM.sub.2.5) may depend on its chemical constituents, including components such as soluble metals that may theoretically...
- 14From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Polymer nanoparticles (PNP) are becoming increasingly important in nanomedicine and food-based applications. Size and surface characteristics are often considered to be important factors in the cellular...
- 15From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedGiven the increasing use of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in composite materials and their possible expansion to new areas such as nanomedicine which will both lead to higher human exposure, a better understanding of their...
- 16From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIn a recent work published in Particle and Fibre Toxicology by Fisichella and coworkers investigating surface-modified TiO.sub.2 nanoparticle exposure in a model human intestinal epithelium (Caco-2), albeit degraded to...
- 17From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Air pollution, mainly from combustion, is one of the leading global health risk factors. A susceptible group is the more than 200 million people worldwide suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary...
- 18From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Epidemiologic studies associate childhood exposure to traffic-related air pollution with increased respiratory infections and asthmatic and allergic symptoms. The strongest associations between traffic...
- 19From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground One of the major areas for increasing the use of renewable energy is in traffic fuels e.g. bio-based fuels in diesel engines especially in commuter traffic. Exhaust emissions from fossil diesel fuelled...
- 20From: Particle and Fibre Technology. (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedParticulate matter (PM) pollution is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide, the majority due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). While many potential pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed,...
