Nanotoxicity and the importance of being earnest.
In the process of advancing new technologies, in particular those intended to improve human health, it is not an uncommon observation that its proponents glorify the benefitswith directnesswhile addressing the unresolved matters in vaguer terms. More often, however, real progress requires at the very least the ability to fully appreciate overt or hidden dangers of new medical treatments. In a s...
متن کاملThe Origin of Nanotoxicity: Physical Damage
Now safety concern of in vivo nano-carriers toxicity is apparently hindering the extensive applications of nanotechnology in medical sciences. Many studies on the effects of nanomaterials in vitro and in vivo have been published, and revealed that nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, quantum dots (for example CdS) and oxide nanoparticles (NPs) (for example ZnO, CuO and TiO2) ex...
متن کاملWidespread Nanoparticle-Assay Interference: Implications for Nanotoxicity Testing
The evaluation of engineered nanomaterial safety has been hindered by conflicting reports demonstrating differential degrees of toxicity with the same nanoparticles. The unique properties of these materials increase the likelihood that they will interfere with analytical techniques, which may contribute to this phenomenon. We tested the potential for: 1) nanoparticle intrinsic fluorescence/abso...
متن کاملNovel methods of proteoliposome fusion on a glass chip
Solvent-free lipid bilayers bridging a micron-sized aperture in a glass slide have recently been used for high-resolution, low noise single-channel electrophysiological recordings, both as a stand-alone open system [1], and incorporated in a microfluidics device [2]. These systems are of considerable interest for the study of fast transients in substrate binding to bacterial channels. However, ...
متن کاملNanotoxicity Overview: Nano-Threat to Susceptible Populations
Due to the increasing applications of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, potential danger of nanoparticle exposure has become a critical issue. However, recent nanotoxicity studies have mainly focused on the health risks to healthy adult population. The nanotoxicity effects on susceptible populations (such as pregnant, neonate, diseased, and aged populations) have been overlooked. Due to the alt...
