Nanotoxicology : An Emerging Discipline
Nanotoxicology refers to the study of the interactions of nanostructures with biological systems with an emphasis on elucidating the relationship between the physical and chemical properties of nanostructures with induction of toxic biological responses. Nanotoxicology is aimed at providing information on the potential toxicological effects, risk assessment and safety evaluation of nanostructur...
متن کاملNanotoxicology: An Emerging Discipline Evolving from Studies of Ultrafine Particles
Although humans have been exposed to airborne nanosized particles (NSPs; < 100 nm) throughout their evolutionary stages, such exposure has increased dramatically over the last century due to anthropogenic sources. The rapidly developing field of nanotechnology is likely to become yet another source through inhalation, ingestion, skin uptake, and injection of engineered nanomaterials. Informatio...

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Provide scientific knowledge regarding handling and application of Nano particles in medicine. which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. In recent years Nano-structure materials have been attractive to the world of science and technology for their...
متن کاملNanotoxicology: a personal perspective.
Nanoparticles arise from a wide variety of natural and man-made sources and have a diverse array of biological, chemical, and physical properties. The toxicity of these particles can be roughly divided into two categories: 1) the enhanced delivery of toxic agents 2) toxicity induced the properties of the particle itself. The use of nanoparticles to provide enhanced delivery of chemotherapeutics...
متن کاملThe emerging science of epigenomics.
One of the most exciting frontiers in both epigenetics and genome sciences is the new field of epigenomics. This new discipline promises novel insights into the genome because of its potential to detect quantitative alterations, multiplex modifications and regulatory sequences outside of genes. A number of new epigenomic strategies are emerging to exploit microarray formats with varying substra...
