Novel approach to toxicity testing of nanoparticles mimicing lung exposure. Possible protective effect of omega-3 acids (NanOmega)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2010, Date de fin: 12 déc. 2013,
As nanotechnology and materials science have progressed, large quantities of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) have been produced. NPs promise to revolutionize our lifestyles by improving many industrial and consumer products. However, there is considerable concern about their unknown impact on human health: with their unique physicochemical properties (size less than 100 nm), NPs differ from the cor ...

Development of methodology for alternative testing strategies for the assessment of the toxicological profile of nanoparticles used in medical diagnostics (NanoTEST)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
Nanoparticles (NP) have unique, potentially beneficial properties, but their possible impact on human health has not been adequately assessed. The main goal of this proposal is to develop alternative high-throughput testing strategies using in vitro and in silico methods to assess the toxicological profile of NP used in medical diagnostics. Our specific aims are to: 1. Define NP properties and ful ...

European Network on the Health and Environmental Impact of Nanomaterials (NanoImpactNet)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2012,
Recent technological advances allow the targeted production of objects and materials in the nanoscale (smaller than 100 nm). Nanomaterials have chemical, physical and bioactive characteristics, which are different from those of larger entities of the same materials. Nanoparticles can pass through body barriers. This is interesting for medical applications, but it raises concerns about their health ...
