Engineered nanomaterials (ENM) are now used in a wide variety of fields, and, thus, their
safety should urgently be assessed and secured. It has been suggested that inflammatory …

Abstract Background Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are suspected lung
carcinogens because their shape and size are similar to asbestos. Various MWCNT types …

The genotoxic effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were examined by using
in vitro and in vivo assays. MWCNTs significantly induced micronuclei in A549 cells and …

Abstract The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified one type of multi-
walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as possibly carcinogenic to humans. However, the …

There is a current interest in reducing the in vivo toxicity testing of nanomaterials in animals
by increasing toxicity testing using in vitro cellular assays; however, toxicological results are …

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

Carbon nanotubes vary greatly in physicochemical properties. We compared cytotoxic and
genotoxic response to 15 multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with varying …

Abstract Information on the toxicity of carbon nanotubes is still fragmentary but indicates that
these particles can induce adverse effects. We previously demonstrated in rats that, when …

Background The unique physicochemical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(MWCNT) have led to many industrial applications. Due to their low density and small size …

Chemical functionalization extends CNT applications conferring them new functions, but
could modify their toxicity. We compared cytotoxicity and genotoxic/oxidative effects of–OH …
