Biocompatibility evaluation of CeO2 nanoparticles to be employed as nanodrugs i...
Fernández-Bertólez, Natália; Touzani, Assia; Martínez, L.; Reis, Ana Teresa; Fraga, Sónia; Teixeira, João Paulo; Costa, Carla; Pásaro, EduardoCerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2NP) have recently gained attention for their unique structure-dependent properties, antioxidant enzyme-like behaviour, ROS scavenging activity and great potential for biomedical applications. In addition to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, CeO2NP are also known to exhibit anticancer potential, providing an attractive opportunity for use in cancer therapy, as a ...
Utility of salivary leucocytes for biomonitoring of human exposure to nanomater...
Valdiglesias, Vanessa; Fernández-Bertólez, Natália; Touzani, A.; Mendéz, J.; Martinez, L.; Pásaro, E.; Reis, A.T.; Fraga, S.; Teixeira, J.P.; Costa, C.Metal-based nanoparticles (NP) are being increasingly used in a wide variety of applications in consumer products and biomedical practices. As a result, human exposure to these nanomaterials is frequent, becoming a concern to public health. Human salivary leucocytes have been proposed as a proper biological sample for the comet assay, becoming an adequate non-invasive alternative model to evaluate DNA damage. I...
