Releases from transparent blue automobile coatings containing nanoscale copper phthalocyanine and their effects on J774 A1 macrophages (2017)
Journal Article
Pang, C., Neubauer, N., Boyles, M., Brown, D., Kanase, N., Hristozov, D., …Marcomini, A. (2017). Releases from transparent blue automobile coatings containing nanoscale copper phthalocyanine and their effects on J774 A1 macrophages. NanoImpact, 7, 75-83. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.impact.2017.06.002

Nanoscale copper phthalocyanine (n-CuPc) is a pigment widely used in paints to enhance automobile coatings and to make colors transparent and more appealing to users. Despite the benefits, n-CuPc can potentially be released into the environment and p...

A new prototype air–liquid interface (ALI) exposure system, a flatbed aerosol exposure chamber termed NAVETTA, was developed to investigate deposition of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) on cultured human lung A549 cells directly from the gas phase. Th... Read More about A Novel Exposure System Termed NAVETTA for In Vitro Laminar Flow Electrodeposition of Nanoaerosol and Evaluation of Immune Effects in Human Lung Reporter Cells.

Poly-lactic acid nanoparticles (PLA-NP) promote physiological modifications in lung epithelial cells and are internalized by clathrin-coated pits and lipid rafts (2017)
Journal Article
da Luz, C. M., Boyles, M. S. P., Falagan-Lotsch, P., Pereira, M. R., Tutumi, H. R., de Oliveira Santos, E., …Leite, P. E. C. (2017). Poly-lactic acid nanoparticles (PLA-NP) promote physiological modifications in lung epithelial cells and are internalized by clathrin-coated pits and lipid rafts.

Background Poly-lactic acid nanoparticles (PLA-NP) are a type of polymeric NP, frequently used as nanomedicines, which have advantages over metallic NP such as the ability to maintain therapeutic drug levels for sustained periods of time. Despite PL... Read More about Poly-lactic acid nanoparticles (PLA-NP) promote physiological modifications in lung epithelial cells and are internalized by clathrin-coated pits and lipid rafts.
