Expansion of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury after instillation of three forms of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
Urankar, Rakhee N.; Lust, Robert M.; Mann, Erin; Katwa, Pranita; Wang, Xiaojia; Podila, Ramakrishna; Hilderbrand, Susana C.; Harrison, Benjamin S.; Chen, Pengyu; Ke, Pu Chun; Rao, Apparao M.; Brown, Jared; Wingard, Christopher J. (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 ... -
Intravenously delivered graphene nanosheets and multiwalled carbon nanotubes induce site-specific Th2 inflammatory responses via the IL-33/ST2 axis
Wang, Xiaojia; Podila, Ramakrishna; Shannahan, Jonathan H.; Rao, Apparao M.; Brown, Jared (2013)Carbon-based nanomaterials (CBN), such as graphene nanosheets (GNS) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), have been proposed for potential nanomedicine applications such as biomedical devices and carriers for drug ... -
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 ...
