Chiara Uboldi, postdoctoral associate, is the guest editor for a special issue of Nanomaterials (ISSN 2079-4991) which belongs to the section "Biology and Medicines".
"Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is open to valuable contributions presenting advances on the elucidation of the potential toxic effects of nanoparticles. For years, humans have been exposed—intentionally or unintentionally—to a broad range of nanoparticle-containing products. Many efforts have been made to identify the risks to which we are exposed, but concerns are still growing when it comes to dealing with nanoparticles. Moreover, nanoparticles can also affect the environment and induce effects either on aquatic or terrestrial species or on humans.
In this Special Issue, we welcome papers reporting on:
- nanoparticles’ physicochemical modifications occurring throughout their lifecycle and exerting toxic responses;
- in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo methods to test nanoparticles toxicity;
- improved protocols or new methods to test nanoparticles’ cytotoxicity, mutagenicity, DNA damage, oxidative stress, inflammation, and intracellular localization/quantification;
- mechanistic studies on the toxicological mode of action of nanoparticles."
