Aqueous suspension of magnetite nanoparticles with primary diameter of 10 nm were
intratracheally administered into rat lungs. In 24 h, cells were isolated from bronchoalveolar …

Abstract Optical microscopy (OM), semi-contact atomic force microscopy (sc-AFM), and
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were applied to examine cells in the broncho …

We studied differences between phagocytic responses to nanoparticles (NPs) versus
microparticles in the pulmonary region by synthesizing magnetite of different sizes and …

Due to advances in nanotechnology, exposure to particle compounds in the workplace has
become unavoidable. Assessment of their toxicity on health is an important occupational …

The aim of our study was to test a hypothesis according to which the pulmonary clearance
vs. retention of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is controlled not only by physiological …

Iron oxide nanoparticles/microparticles are widely present in a variety of environments, eg,
as a byproduct of steel and iron degradation, as, for example, in railway brakes (eg, metro …

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was used to sample retention of particles within the alveolar
macrophage (AM) compartment at various times from 1 to 91 d following intrapulmonary …

Inhalation is the main route of nanoparticles (NP) exposure during manufacturing. Although
many mechanisms of toxicity have been described, the interaction of NP with relevant …

Background Iron oxide nanoparticles hold great promise for future biomedical applications.
To this end numerous studies on iron oxide nanoparticles have been conducted. One aspect …

Anionic iron oxide nanoparticles are efficiently internalized into macrophages where they
concentrate within micrometric endosomes, conferring on them a high magnetic …
