Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are fibrous carbon-based nanomaterials with a potential to cause
carcinogenesis in humans. Alterations in DNA methylation on cytosine–phosphate …

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

Recent studies have identified carbon nanotube (CNT)-induced epigenetic changes as one
of the key players in patho-physiological response. In the present study, we investigated …

This study was designed to assess the epigenetic alterations in blood cells, induced by
occupational exposure to multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The study population …

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

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

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 …

Long carbon nanotubes (CNTs) resemble asbestos fibers due to their high length to
diameter ratio and they thus have genotoxic effects. Another parameter that might explain …

The increasing use of nanomaterials in consumer products highlights the importance of
understanding their potential toxic effects. We evaluated cytotoxic and genotoxic/oxidative …
