Expansion of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury after instillation of three forms of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(2012)Background The exceptional physical-chemical properties of carbon nanotubes have lead to their use in diverse commercial and biomedical applications. However, their utilization has raised concerns about human exposure ... -
Multi-walled carbon nanotube instillation impairs pulmonary function in C57BL/6 mice
(2011)Background Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are widely used in many disciplines due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Therefore, some concerns about the possible human health and environmental ... -
Pulmonary Pathologies Following Inhalation of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes at Occupational Levels
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are a nanomaterial that is growing in use and popularity. The health effects of occupational pulmonary exposure to MWCNT are currently unknown. The goals of this study were to build a ... -
The M2a macrophage phenotype accompanies pulmonary granuloma resolution in Mmp12 knock-out mice instilled with multiwall carbon nanotubes
(MDPI, 2021-10-13)Sarcoidosis is a chronic disease with unknown etiology and pathophysiology, characterized by granuloma formation. Matrix Metalloproteinase-12 (MMP12) is an elastase implicated in active granulomatous sarcoidosis. Previously, ...
