Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is the principal instigators of adverse health events, yet gaps still remain in understanding the mechanism mediating its toxic response. Similar to nanoparticles, PM 2.5, with large surface area to volume ratio, can absorb multipollutants in air, displaying toxicity profiles that are very different from those of coarse particles of the same composition. One particularly...
Prolonged therapeutic action over an extended period of time on single dose is vital in designing an ideal drug delivery system. Nanoparticle-based vehicles for drug delivery serves as an ideal technology, however, utilization of them remains controversial due to potential safety concerns and transient drug retention. Nanodiamonds (NDs), with excellent biocompatibility and diversity of potential conjugates,...
To explore the effects of the novel properties of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) on cytotoxicity, the adsorption of serum proteins in cell culture medium on multi-walled carbon nanotubes and three kinds of carbon blacks was investigated. The uptake of CNPs by Hela cells was measured quantitatively using 99m Tc radionuclide labeling and tracing techniques, and the dependence of CNPs uptake on...
