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 …

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

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 …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) except MWCNT-7 have been classified as Group 3 [“Not
classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans”] by the IARC. Despite considerable …

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

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 …

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

Highlights•First study evaluated DNA methylation profile in MWCNT-exposed ARPE-19
cells.•Six methylation-driven genes were found important for MWCNT exposure.• …

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

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