Nanocellulose effects on microRNA expression in human bronchial epithelial cells
Ventura, Célia; Vieira, Luís; Silva, Catarina; Pinto, Fátima; Pedrosa, J.F.S.; Fernandes, S.; Raupp da Rosa, R.; Godinho, M.H.; Ferreira, P.J.T.Nanocellulose is an innovative nanomaterial with physicochemical properties (high specific area, high tensile strength and stiffness, gas barrier properties, optical properties, and biodegradability) that give it potential for a wide variety of industrial (packaging, paper industry and others) and biomedical applications (regenerative medicine, wound healing, drug delivery systems and others).
Cyto-genotoxic effects of distinct micro/nanocelluloses in human osteoblastic a...
Ventura, Célia; Marques, Catarina; Cadete, João; Vilar, Madalena; Pedrosa, J.F.S.; Pinto, P.; Rosa, R.R.; Fernandes, S.N.; Godinho, M.H.The unique characteristics of micro/nanocelluloses (MNCs) have been boosting their use in a wide variety of industrial and biomedical applications. With the expected decrease of their production cost, it is likely to observe an even faster growing adoption of these materials in the coming years. With the increasing use of MNCs comes an increased likelihood of human exposure to these materials, raising concerns ...
Exploring potential genotoxic effects of nanocelluloses versus multi-walled car...
Pinto, Fátima; Ventura, Célia; Teixeira, Sara; Lourenço, Ana Filipa; Fernandes, S.N.; da Rosa, R.R.; Godinho, M.H.; Ferreira, Paulo J.T.Cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) are advanced materials exhibiting unique properties for innumerous industrial and biomedical applications. Human exposure to CNMs has been equally growing, which raises some concern, given the similarity of some CNMs size and morphology with that of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) that induce lung toxicity. The genotoxic effects of three CNMs produced from Eucalyptus globulu...
