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 …

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

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

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

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 …

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

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

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

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