Biological responses to nanoscale particles
Nanoscale particles are known to exhibit novel and unprecedented properties that make them quite different from their corresponding bulk-scale materials. The key differences are (i) an increased relative surface area and (ii) quantum size effects. Since the growth, catalytic activity and the various interactions with molecules (including biomolecules) occur at the surface of nanoparticles, a gi...
متن کاملBiological Responses to Materials
■ Abstract All materials intended for application in humans as biomaterials, medical devices, or prostheses undergo tissue responses when implanted into living tissue. This review first describes fundamental aspects of tissue responses to materials, which are commonly described as the tissue response continuum. These actions involve fundamental aspects of tissue responses including injury, infl...

متن کاملEngineering Nanoscale Biological Molecular Motors
In his book ‘What is life?’, Erwin Schrödinger equated death with the living cell decaying into thermal equilibrium with its surroundings. That is, when a cell is unable to continue using the free energy of its environment to keep order, it decays into a state of disorder. Evolution has led to incredibly beautiful, complex, and astonishing constructs called molecular motors to maintain order an...
متن کاملBiological Responses to Diesel Exhaust Particles (DEPs) Depend on the Physicochemical Properties of the DEPs
Diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) are the main components of ambient particulate materials, including polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), n-PAHs, heavy metals, and gaseous materials. Many epidemiological, clinical, and toxicological studies have shown that ambient particles, including DEPs, are associated with respiratory disorders, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and lung cancer. However, the r...
