Exploring electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for the early diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using CFP10:ESAT6 protein detection

open access: yesFrontiers in Sensors
Tuberculosis (TB) was, until SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the leading cause of death by a single infectious agent contaminating over 10.6 million people with 1.6 million deaths in 2021 worldwide. Herein, we present a proof-of-principle strategy for detecting the

Pulmonary effects of inhalation of spark-generated silver nanoparticles in Brown-Norway and Sprague-Dawley rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The increasing use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products is concerning. We examined the potential toxic effects when inhaled in Brown-Norway (BN) rats with a pre-inflammatory state compared to Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.We determined the ...

The nanotoxicology revolution [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Toxicology, 2013
Although it has been suggested that nanoparticles should ‘be tested individually’ (Krug and Wick 2011), we see no evidence that nano-specific toxic mechanisms exist (review: Donaldson and Poland 2013a). For example, conventional particles induce toxicity via general mechanisms, such as oxidative stress and inflammation.

Nanoplastics and Neurodegeneration: A Roadmap From Mechanism to Causation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanoplastics are pervasive environmental contaminants with potentially profound implications for human health. Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between nanoplastic exposure and neurodegeneration, a key driver of ageing and dementia, yet causality remains unresolved.

Deriving a Provisional Tolerable Intake for Intravenous Exposure to Silver Nanoparticles Released from Medical Devices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are incorporated into medical devices for their anti-microbial characteristics. The potential exposure and toxicity of AgNPs is unknown due to varying physicochemical particle properties and lack of toxicological data. The aim
