Background Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-induced lung fibrosis leads to health
concerns in human. However, the mechanisms underlying fibrosis pathogenesis remains …

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 …

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 …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are novel materials with unique electronic and mechanical
properties. The extremely small size, fiberlike shape, large surface area, and unique surface …

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

A mounting number of studies have been documenting strong pro-inflammatory and pro-
fibrotic effects of carbon nanotube (CNT). However, the molecular mechanisms of single …

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 …

Background In vivo studies have demonstrated the ability of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(MWCNT) to induce airway remodeling, a key feature of chronic respiratory diseases like …

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