Engineered Nanomaterial Impact in the Liver following Exposure via an Intravenous Route–The Role of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes and Gene Expression in the Organ (2012)
Journal Article
Kermanizadeh, A., Brown, D. M., Hutchison, G. R., & Stone, V. (2012). Engineered Nanomaterial Impact in the Liver following Exposure via an Intravenous Route–The Role of Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes and Gene Expression in the Organ. Journal of Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology, 4, 157. https://doi.org/10.4172/2157-7439.1000157

Background and methods: Following exposure via a number of routes (inhalation, ingestion or injection), some Nanomaterials (NMs) translocate to secondary tissues, prominently the liver. This study investigated the effects of an array of NMs, varyin...

An in vitro liver model - assessing oxidative stress and genotoxicity following exposure of hepatocytes to a panel of engineered nanomaterials (2012)
Journal Article
Kermanizadeh, A., Gaiser, B. K., Hutchison, G. R., & Stone, V. (2012). An in vitro liver model - assessing oxidative stress and genotoxicity following exposure of hepatocytes to a panel of engineered nanomaterials. Particle and fibre toxicology, 9(1), 28. https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-8977-9-28

Background: Following exposure via inhalation, intratracheal instillation or ingestion some nanomaterials (NM) have been shown to translocate to the liver. Since oxidative stress has been implicated as a possible mechanism for NM toxicity this study...

Nanoparticles and Neutrophil Activation (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Dickson, C., Prach, M., Fraser, J., Ingram, L., Barlow, P., Hutchison, G., …Malone, E. (2012, February). Nanoparticles and Neutrophil Activation. Presented at NanoImpactNet-QNANO conference - European Network on the Health and Environmental Impact of Nanomaterials, Dublin, Ireland

Neutrophils, the rapid responders of the innate immune system, are central to the initial immune responses of a host to foreign particles. Circulating in the blood, they are the predominant leukocyte (40-75%), and are positioned to rapidly migrate to... Read More about Nanoparticles and Neutrophil Activation.
