Bessa, Maria João; Brandão, Fátima; Rosário, Fernanda; Moreira, Luciana Maria Vaz; Reis, Ana Teresa; Valdiglesias, Vanessa; Laffon, Blanca; Fraga, S.; Teixeira, Joao (Taylor & Francis, 2023-01-24)[Abstract] Several studies have been conducted to address the potential adverse health risks attributed to exposure to nanoscale materials. While in vivo studies are fundamental for identifying the relationship between ... -
Genotoxicity of TiO2 Nanoparticles in Four Different Human Cell Lines (A549, HEPG2, A172 and SH-SY5Y)
Brandão, Fátima; Fernández‐Bertólez, Natalia; Rosário, Fernada; Bessa, Maria João; Fraga, Sónia; Pásaro, Eduardo; Teixeira, João; Laffon, Blanca; Valdiglesias, Vanessa; Costa, C. (2020)[Abstrac] Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have a wide variety of applications in many consumer products, including as food additives, increasing the concern about the possible hazards that TiO2 NPs may pose to ... -
Suitability of the In Vitro Cytokinesis-Block Micronucleus Test for Genotoxicity Assessment of TiO2 Nanoparticles on SH-SY5Y Cells
Fernández-Bertólez, Natalia; Brandão, Fátima; Costa, C.; Pásaro, Eduardo; Teixeira, João; Laffon, Blanca; Valdiglesias, Vanessa (2021)[Abstract] Standard toxicity tests might not be fully adequate for evaluating nanomaterials since their unique features are also responsible for unexpected interactions. The in vitro cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) ... -
Toxicological Assessment of Silica-Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Human Astrocytes
Fernández-Bertólez, Natalia; Costa, C.; Brandão, Fátima; Kiliç, Gözde; Ramos Duarte, José Alberto; Teixeira, João; Pásaro, Eduardo; Valdiglesias, Vanessa; Laffon, Blanca (Elsevier, 2018-04-25)[Abstract] Iron oxide nanoparticles (ION) have great potential for an increasing number of medical and biological applications, particularly those focused on nervous system. Although ION seem to be biocompatible and present ...
