Nanotoxicity assessment of quantum dots: from cellular to primate studies.
Tremendous research efforts have been devoted to fabricating high quality quantum dots (QDs) for applications in biology and medicine. Much of this research was pursued with an ultimate goal of using QDs in clinical applications. However, a great deal of concern has been voiced about the potential hazards of QDs due to their heavy-metal content. Many studies have demonstrated toxicity of variou...
متن کاملElectronic publishing: all talk and no action?
Suppose they gave a revolution and nobody came? We’re meant to be in the midst of a revolution in life sciences publishing but, for a revolution, it’s awfully quiet. For the moment at least, the ancien régime — in the form of traditional peer review and conventional commercial journals — seems to be winning. The latest fusillade came from Stanford University’s HighWire Press, which has just beg...
متن کاملThe Digital Privacy Paradox: Small Money, Small Costs, Small Talk
This paper uses data from the MIT digital currency experiment to shed light on consumer behavior regarding commercial, public and government surveillance. The setting allows us to explore the apparent contradiction that many cryptocurrencies offer people the chance to escape government surveillance, but do so by making transactions themselves public on a distributed ledger (a ‘blockchain’). We ...
متن کاملThe Origin of Nanotoxicity: Physical Damage
Now safety concern of in vivo nano-carriers toxicity is apparently hindering the extensive applications of nanotechnology in medical sciences. Many studies on the effects of nanomaterials in vitro and in vivo have been published, and revealed that nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, quantum dots (for example CdS) and oxide nanoparticles (NPs) (for example ZnO, CuO and TiO2) ex...
متن کاملNanotoxicity and the importance of being earnest.
In the process of advancing new technologies, in particular those intended to improve human health, it is not an uncommon observation that its proponents glorify the benefitswith directnesswhile addressing the unresolved matters in vaguer terms. More often, however, real progress requires at the very least the ability to fully appreciate overt or hidden dangers of new medical treatments. In a s...
