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 …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) with numerous beneficial
applications. However, they could pose a risk to human health from occupational or …

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 …

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 …

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

Several experimental studies have shown that carbon nanotubes (CNT) can induce
respiratory effects, including lung fibrosis. The cellular and molecular events through which …

Most living tissues exhibit the specific stiffness, which has been known to have profound
influence on cell behaviors, yet how the stiffness affects cellular responses to engineered …

We developed a dispersal method for multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) that allows
quantitative assessment of dispersion on profibrogenic responses in tissue culture cells and …

Nanomaterials, including single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), are being developed
for a variety of commercial products. However, adverse health effects attributed to these new …

Carbon nanotube (CNT)-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis have been
intensively observed and characterized in numerous animal studies in the past decade …
