Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Toxicity (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nicol, L., Malone, E., & Proudfoot, L. (2012, April). Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Toxicity. Poster presented at British Society for Parasitology Conference, 50th Anniversary, Glasgow

Nanomaterials, having at least one dimension less than 100nm, have unique physico-chemical properties due to their small size, large surface area and surface reactivity. Manufactured nanomaterials have enormous potential in industrial, pharmaceutical... Read More about Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model for the Assessment of Nanomaterial Toxicity.

Nanoparticles and Neutrophil Activation (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dickson, C., Prach, M., Fraser, J., Ingram, L., Barlow, P., Hutchison, G., Proudfoot, L., & 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.
