There has been little information to date based on the potential health effects and hazards associated with the inhalation of carbon nanofibrous materials by workers despite their growing use in industry. This study examines the in vitro effects of a... Read More about An in vitro study of the potential of carbon nanotubes and nanofibres to induce inflammatory mediators and frustrated phagocytosis..

The effects of PM10 particles and oxidative stress on macrophages and lung epithelial cells: modulating effects of calcium-signaling antagonists. (2007)
Journal Article

The effects of PM10 particles and oxidative stress on macrophages and lung epithelial cells: modulating effects of calcium-signaling antagonists. American journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology, 292, L1444-L1451. doi:10.1152/ajplung.00162.2006

We have previously examined the ability of air pollution particles (PM10) to promote release of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and demonstrated a role for calcium as a signalin...

The effect of oxidative stress on macrophages and lung epithelial cells: The role of phosphodiesterases 1 and 4 (2007)
Journal Article
Brown, D. M., Hutchison, L., Donaldson, K., MacKenzie, S., Dick, C., & Stone, V. (2007). The effect of oxidative stress on macrophages and lung epithelial cells: The role of phosphodiesterases 1 and 4. Toxicology Letters, 168(1), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in various pulmonary diseases by causing direct injury to lung epithelial cells. Signalling activity of cells through transcription factors such as nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and AP-1 have been s...
