Multi-walled carbon nanotube instillation impairs pulmonary function in C57BL/6 mice
Wang, Xiaojia; Katwa, Pranita; Podila, Ramakrishna; Chen, Pengyu; Ke, Pu Chun; Rao, Apparao M.; Walters, Dianne M.; Wingard, Christopher J.; Brown, Jared (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
Phipps, Marshal Anthony, Jr. (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 ... -
Vanadium pentoxide induces pulmonary inflammation and tumor promotion in a strain-dependent manner
Rondini, Elizabeth A.; Walters, Dianne M.; Bauer, Alison K. (East Carolina University, 2010-04-12)Background: Elevated levels of air pollution are associated with increased risk of lung cancer. Particulate matter (PM) contains transition metals that may potentiate neoplastic development through the induction of oxidative ... -
