Nanotoxicology: a personal perspective.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 is presented followed by a discussion of the size-based effects of electron transfer and physical membrane disruption.

متن کاملEvaluation of of the performance of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model in nanotoxicology studies with emphasis on embryo pathology
The present study was conducted to evaluate the performance of zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model in embryo and fetal pathology in nanotoxicology studies. Examination of the sources showed that it is possible to completely inhibit hatching and fetal death when exposed to nanoparticles, because nanoparticles interact with hatching enzymes. Zebrafish embryo developmental abnormalities have been s...
متن کاملA special issue on nanotoxicology
Recently, our partner journal Archives of Toxicology published a special issue addressing the key questions in nanotoxicology (Weiss and Diabaté, 2011). The number of commercially available nanomaterials is rapidly growing. Thus, one aspect of nanotoxicology is the unintended exposure to nanomaterials. Pharmaceutical nanoproducts have been introduced for diagnostics, drug delivery or cancer tre...
