متن کاملNanosilver and Silver Nitrate induced toxicity in a subacute murine dermal model
Silver salts and nanosilver (NS) are the common antimicrobial used in the treatment of chronic wounds, so they are important to assess their dermal toxicity. Therefore, in this study, the possible dermal toxicity of NS particles and silver nitrate (AgNO3), was tested by determining the serum level of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and study on of mouse skin tissue. In this stu...
متن کاملMitochondrial fragmentation in cigarette smoke-induced bronchial epithelial cell senescence.
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that continuously change their shape through fission and fusion. Disruption of mitochondrial dynamics is involved in disease pathology through excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Accelerated cellular senescence resulting from cigarette smoke exposure with excessive ROS production has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive p...
