Sulfidation of silver nanowires inside human alveolar epithelial cells: a potential detoxification mechanism.
Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are being developed for use in optoelectronics. However before widespread usage, it is crucial to determine their potential effects on human health. It is accepted that Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) exert toxic effects by releasing Ag(+) ions, but much less is known about whether Ag(+) reacts with compounds, or any downstream bioactive effects of transformed AgNPs. Analytica...
متن کاملCytotoxicity of Silver Nanoparticles on Human Gingival Epithelial Cells: An In-Vitro Study
Objective: Nanosilver has numerous applications in medicine due to its potent antibacterial activity. However, data regarding the bio-safety of its effective concentrations is scarce. This study aims to assess the toxicity of silver nanoparticles on human gingival epithelial cells under in-vitro conditions. Methods: This in vitro study evaluated the toxic effects of filtered and unfiltered ...
متن کاملcell viability and cytokine production of human alveolar epithelial cells following exposure to sulphur dioxide
exposure to air pollutants is significantly associated with health risks ranging from bronchial reactivity to morbidity and mortality. however, the precise mechanisms are not always fully understood. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sulphur dioxide (so2) on cell viability and cytokine production of a549-human pulmonary epithelial cells. test atmospheres of so2 were genera...
متن کاملViscoelasticity of human alveolar epithelial cells subjected to stretch.
Alveolar epithelial cells undergo stretching during breathing and mechanical ventilation. Stretch can modify cell viscoelastic properties, which may compromise the balance of forces in the alveolar epithelium. We studied the viscoelasticity of alveolar epithelial cells (A549) subjected to equibiaxial distention with a novel experimental approach. Cells were cultured on flexible substrates and s...
