Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) induce rapid interstitial lung fibrosis, but the underlying
mechanisms are unclear. Previous studies indicated that the ability of CNTs to penetrate …

Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been widely used in many disciplines due to
their unique physical and chemical properties, but have also raised great concerns about …

Given their extremely small size and light weight, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be readily
inhaled by human lungs resulting in increased rates of pulmonary disorders, particularly …

A number of studies have demonstrated that MWCNTs induce granuloma formation and
fibrotic responses in vivo, and it has been recently reported that MWCNT‐induced …

Background Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are currently under intense
toxicological investigation due to concern on their potential health effects. Current in vitro …

Background Nanotechnology is a rapidly advancing industry with many new products
already available to the public. Therefore, it is essential to gain an understanding of the …

Purpose of the study: A number of in vivo studies have shown that pulmonary exposure to
carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may lead to an acute local inflammatory response, pulmonary …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been a subject of intensive research for a wide range of
applications. However, because of their extremely small size and light weight, CNTs are …

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) are a typical nanomaterial with a wide spectrum of
commercial applications. Inhalation exposure to MWCNT has been linked with lung fibrosis …

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes have been shown to possess unusual fibrogenic activity in
vivo and are currently the focus of intense toxicological investigations. This study further …
