Titanium dioxide nanoparticles enhance production of superoxide anion and alter the antioxidant system in human osteoblast cells
(2015)
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are manufactured worldwide for a variety of engineering and bioengineering applications. TiO2NPs are frequently used as a material for orthopedic implants. However, to the best ...
Pharmacological and toxicological effects of co-exposure of human gingival fibroblasts to silver nanoparticles and sodium fluoride
(2014)
BACKGROUND:
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and fluoride (F) are pharmacological agents widely used in oral medicine and dental practice due to their anti-microbial/anti-cavity properties. However, risks associated with ...
CdTe quantum dots induce activation of human platelets: implications for particle hemocompatibility.
(2015)
New nanomaterials intended for systemic administration have raised concerns regarding their biocompatibility and hemocompatibility. Quantum dots (QD) nanoparticles have been used for diagnostics, and recent work suggests ...
Analysis of platelet function: role of microfluidics and nanodevices
(2011)
Platelet aggregation is essential for vascular haemostasis and thrombosis. To improve the therapy of arterial thrombotic disorders and identify novel therapeutic targets it is imperative to study basic mechanisms of platelet ...
