• The Marine Toxin Okadaic Acid Induces Alterations in the Expression Level of Cancer-Related Genes in Human Neuronal Cells 

  Valdiglesias, Vanessa; Fernández-Tajes, Juan; Méndez, Josefina; Pásaro, Eduardo; Laffon, Blanca (Elsevier, 2013-04-03)

  [Abstract] Okadaic acid (OA) is one of the most common and highly distributed marine toxins. It can be accumulated in several molluscs and other marine organisms and cause acute gastrointestinal symptoms after oral consumption ...

• Comparative Study on Effects of Two Different Types of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles on Human Neuronal Cells 

  Valdiglesias, Vanessa; Costa, C.; Sharma, Vyom; Kiliç, Gözde; Pásaro, Eduardo; Teixeira, João Paulo; Dhawan, Alok; Laffon, Blanca (Elsevier, 2013-04-15)

  [Abstract] Titanium dioxide (TiO2) are among most frequently used nanoparticles (NPs). They are present in a variety of consumer products, including food industry in which they are employed as an additive. The potential ...

• Neuronal Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity Induced by Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles 

  Valdiglesias, Vanessa; Costa, C.; Kiliç, Gözde; Costa, Solange; Pásaro, Eduardo; Laffon, Blanca; Teixeira, João Paulo (Elsevier, 2013-03-26)

  [Abstract] Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are one of the most abundantly used nanomaterials in consumer products and biomedical applications. As a result, human exposure to these NPs is highly frequent and they have ...
