Inflammation is considered to play a central role in a diverse range of disease outcomes
associated with exposure to various types of inhalable particulates. The initial mechanisms …

Toxicity testing and regulation of advanced materials at the nanoscale, ie nanosafety, is
challenged by the growing number of nanomaterials and their property variants requiring …

Lysosome is a ubiquitous acidic organelle fundamental for the turnover of unwanted cellular
molecules, particles, and organelles. Currently, the pivotal role of lysosome in regulating cell …

Fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLSs) are the main effector cells of knee osteoarthritis (KOA)
synovial fibrosis. Our last report showed that NLRP1 and NLRP3 inflammasomes may …

Several experimental studies have shown that carbon nanotubes (CNT) can induce
respiratory effects, including lung fibrosis. The cellular and molecular events through which …

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been developed into new materials with a variety of
industrial and commercial applications. In contrast, the physicochemical properties of CNT at …

Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), a family of gut microbial metabolites, have been reported to
promote preservation of endothelial function and thereby exert anti-atherosclerotic action …

Without nanosafety guidelines, the long-term sustainability of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for
water purifications is questionable. Current risk measurements of CNTs are overshadowed …

The pulmonary fibrosis could be caused by long-term inhalation of carbon black (CB)
particles. Studies on the mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis induced by CB are required to …

Background Although major concerns exist regarding the potential consequences of human
exposures to nanoscale carbon black (CB) particles, limited human toxicological data is …
