Background Engineered nanoparticles are becoming increasingly ubiquitous and their
toxicological effects on human health, as well as on the ecosystem, have become a concern. …

While environmental particles are associated with mortality and morbidity related to pulmonary
and cardiovascular (CV) disease, the mechanisms involved in CV health effects are not …

The impact of nanoparticles (NPs) in medicine and biology has increased rapidly in recent
years. Gold NPs have advantageous properties such as chemical stability, high electron …

The geometry of commercially available perfusion chambers designed for harbouring three
membrane-based cell cultures was modified for reliable and dose-controlled air–liquid …
