Due to the extensive usage of nanoparticles, toxicologists and scientists alike are interested in better understanding their safety profile. The toxic effects of nanoparticles on macrophages, for ...

Plastic contamination in freshwater ecosystems continues to rise, resulting in micro- and nanoparticle accumulation in the aquatic environment. A new study by an aquatic ecology group at the ...

Plastic pollution in freshwater is increasing, leading to micro- and nanoplastic buildup. A study found these particles and their surface charge can harm fish reproduction, especially under stress.

Physicians routinely prescribe an infusion containing gadolinium to enhance MRI scans, but there is evidence that nanoparticles of the toxic rare earth metal infiltrate kidney cells, sometimes ...

Recent developments in nanoparticle-mediated cancer immunotherapy promote treatment with less toxicity. Cancer immunotherapy utilizes a patient’s immune system to target and destroy cancer. Many types ...

Researchers at Mount Sinai Health System and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center have developed a new drug delivery approach that uses nanoparticles to enable more effective and targeted delivery ...

A team from UNIGE and LMU developed a transport nanoparticle to make an anti-inflammatory drug much more effective and less toxic. How can a drug be delivered exactly where it is needed, while ...

Scientists at McGill University and the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute have developed a new way to deliver ...

Are Nanoparticles Dangerous to Make? Materials synthesized into nanoparticles have at least a single primary dimension smaller than one hundred nanometers (nm). Nanoparticles are distinctive and ...

Antimicrobial nanoparticles are materials with exceptional antimicrobial properties, capable of controlling bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Thanks to their unique physicochemical attributes, ...
