Outline of reasons and objectives
Nanoparticles of synthetic amorphous silica (SAS) are produced in large quantities worldwide (1 million metric tons/year) and they have numerous industrial uses. SASs can be broken down into two main types depending…

Worldwide production of silica nanoparticles is estimated to be one million tons per year. Unlike crystalline silica, silica nanoparticles which have an amorphous structure are so far not considered as carcinogen to humans by IARC. However…

Epigenetic mechanisms that are essential in normal cell growth have been found disrupted in several human diseases such as cancer. Epigenetic mechanisms include histone post-translational modifications, DNA methylation and non-coding…

A prior study on the effectiveness of collective protective devices in protecting against a nanometric pollutant led to confinement testing methods and to the establishment of the predominant influence of air flow on confinement. In order…

In the present study, we assess whether this signature would be the same for four other soluble transforming agents, i.e. mezerein, methylarsonic acid, cholic acid and quercetin. The treatment of Bhas 42 cells for 48h with mezerein modified the expression…
