The toxicity of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) has been fully ascertained, but the mechanisms underlying their cytotoxicity remain still largely unclear. Here we demonstrate that the cytotoxicity of MNPs is strictly reliant on the pathway of cellular internalization. In particular, if otherwise toxic gold, silver, and iron oxide NPs are forced through the cell membrane bypassing any form of acti...

One of the possible threats in increasing use of nanomaterials is the emergence of toxicity in humans and other animals which is discussed in nanotoxicology. In addition to toxic effects of nanomaterials themselves, different chemical precursors which are usually used in bottom-up approaches for production of nanomaterials may have secondary toxic effects in living organisms. In contrast, less ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) offer attractive opportunities due to their physical, electrical, mechanical, optical, and thermal properties. They are used in a wide range of applications found numerous consumer products. On the downside, increasing presence environment poses potential threats living organisms ecosystems. The aim this study was evaluate toxicity double-walled carbon (DWCNTs) on new mo...

Metal-oxide nanoparticles find widespread applications in mundane life today, and cost-effective evaluation of their cytotoxicity ecotoxicity is essential for sustainable progress. Machine learning models use existing experimental data learn quantitative feature–toxicity relationships to yield predictive models. In this work, we adopted a principled approach problem by formulating novel feature...

The rapid development of nanotechnology allowed the fabrication of a wide range of different nanomaterials, raising many questions about their safety and potential risks for the human health and environment. Most of the current nanotoxicology research is not standardized, hampering any comparison or reproducibility of the obtained results. Drosophotoxicology encompasses the plethora of methodol...
