As a result of growing applications of manufactured nanoparticles, there is an increasing concern aboutpossible side effects of exposure to these materials on human and environment. Nanosilver (n-Ag) has foundwide use in medical applications including development of silver-based dressings and silver-coated medicaldevices. However, toxicity of these particles clue to their dermal use has not bee...

Nanosilver has recently been recognized as an antimicrobial agent. Although this nanoparticlecan be used in medical applications but its dermal and systemic toxicity via dermal exposure hasnot been completely determined yet. The aim in this study was to investigate the potential dermaltoxicity of Nanosilver in subchronic method. Before the colloidal silver nanoparticle toxicityevaluation, their...

Objective(s): Nanomaterials, especially silver Nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), are employed in an increasing number of commercial products. This has led to an ever growing exposure of human beings to this substance. The first purpose of the Nano Committee of Food and Drug Administration of The Islamic Republic of Iran (IFDA) is developing guidelines to assess and approve commerci...

antibiotic resistance to microorganisms is one of the major problems faced in the field of wound care in burns patients. silver nanoparticles have come up as potent antimicrobial agent and are being evaluated in diverse medical applications ranging from silver based dressings to silver coated medical devices. we aimed in present study to test the release of nanosilver from nanosilver wound dres...

The stratum corneum, the most superficial layer of skin, protects body against environmental hazards and presents a highly selective barrier for passage drugs cosmetic products deeper into skin across skin. Nanomaterials can effectively increase permeation active molecules corneum enable their penetration layers, often by interacting with creating distinct sites elevated local concentration, ac...

Tissue engineering applies principles of biology and engineering to the development of functional substitutes for damaged or lost tissues. Tools for the neo-generation of tissue in tissue engineering research include cells, biomaterials and soluble factors. One main obstacle in tissue engineering is the limited availability of autologous tissue specific progenitor cells. This has led to interes...
