Introduction Inhalation of asbestos induces lung cancer via different cellular mechanisms.
Together with the increased production of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grows the concern …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are nanoscale tube-shaped carbon materials used in many
industrial areas. Their fiber shape has caused concerns about their toxicity given their …

Pulmonary exposure to multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) causes inflammation and
fibrosis. Our previous work has shown that industrially produced MWCNTs trigger specific …

Use of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) is growing which increases occupational
exposures to these materials. Their toxic potential makes it important to have an in-depth …

Diversity in physicochemical properties of engineered multiwalled carbon nanotubes
(MWCNTs) increases the complexity involved in interpreting toxicity studies of these …

Inhalation exposure to asbestos is associated with lung and pleural diseases in humans and
remains a major public health issue worldwide. Human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) …

Humans are increasingly exposed to nanoparticles and, although many of their
physiological effects have been described, the molecular mechanisms underlying them are …

Background Subtle DNA methylation alterations mediated by carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
exposure might contribute to pathogenesis and disease susceptibility. It is known that both …

Accumulating evidence indicates that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are biopersistent and can
cause lung damage. With similar fibrous morphology and mode of exposure to asbestos, a …

As environmental pollutants and possible carcinogens, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have
recently been found to induce carcinogenesis and tumor metastasis after long-term …
