Background Nanosilver is one of the most commonly used engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). In our study we focused on assessing the size-dependence of the toxicity of nanosilver (Ag ENMs), utilising materials of three sizes (50, 80 and 200 nm) synthesi...

The Significance and Insignificance of Carbon Nanotube-Induced Inflammation (2014)
Journal Article
Boyles, M., Stoehr, L., Schlinkert, P., Himly, M., & Duschl, A. (2014). The Significance and Insignificance of Carbon Nanotube-Induced Inflammation. Fibers, 2(1), 45-74. https://doi.org/10.3390/fib2010045

In the present review article immune responses induced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are addressed. As inhalation is considered to be the primary entry route, and concern has been raised by similar high aspect ratio materials, the main focus lies on imm...
