Several studies have provided information on environmental nanoplastic particles/debris, but the in vitro cyto-genotoxicity is still insufficiently characterized. The aim of this study to analyze effects polystyrene nanoparticles (PNPs) Hs27 cell line. viability cells was determined following exposure at different time windows and PNP concentrations. genotoxic PNPs were evaluated by cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay after PNPs. We performed ROS analysis HS27 detect reactive oxygen...
The potential risks of environmental nanoparticles (NPs), in particular Polystyrene Nanoparticles (PNPs), is an emerging problem; specifically, the interaction PNPs with intestinal cells has not been characterized so far. mechanism by which polystyrene particles are transferred to humans yet clarified, whether directly through ingestion from contaminated food. We evaluated between and colorectal adenocarcinoma (HCT116). Cells were exposed different concentrations PNPs, metabolic activity...
Background: TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are the nanomaterial most produced as an ultraviolet (UV) filter. However, is a semiconductor and, in nanoparticle size, strong photocatalyst, raising concerns about photomutagenesis. Mesoporous silica (MSN) were synthetized incorporating NPs (TiO2@MSN) to develop cosmetic UV The aim of this study was assess toxicity TiO2@MSN, compared with bare MSN and commercial NPs, based on several biomarkers. Materials Methods: Human peripheral blood mononuclear...
Abstract Superparamagnetic nanoparticles, exposed to an external variable magnetic field, undergo rapid excitation/relaxation. So-called soft magnets, typically iron-based, rapidly and completely relax when the field returns zero. Instead, cobalt-based (CoB) hard magnets retain residual magnetization, a characteristic related with procedure for nanoparticles (NPs) production. Many researchers are still attracted by potential of CoB NPs theranostics as multifaced signal probes imaging,...
Air pollution in the urban environment is a topical subject. Aero-suspended particles can cause respiratory diseases humans, ranging from inflammation to asthma and cancer. One of components that most prevalent particulate matter (PM) areas set tire microparticles (1-20 μm) nanoparticles (<1 are formed due friction wheels with asphalt increased slow-moving involve lot braking actions. In this work, we studied effect generated passenger tires (PTWP, wear particles) have vitro on murine...
A number of studies have shown variable grades cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in vitro cell cultures, laboratory animals humans when directly exposed to particle debris generated from tires. However, no study has compared the effects particles passenger tires with truck The aim this was investigate relate cyto- genotoxic different types (PP, tire vs. TP, particles) using phagocytic line RAW 264.7 (mouse leukaemic monocyte macrophage line). viability cells determined by 3-...
Molecular biology techniques are increasingly being used in sex identification of skeletal remains when traditional anthropometric analyzes not successful identifying that incomplete, fragmented and /or immature individuals. In the present work, we investigated possibility determining by using qPCR-duplex method for both ancient modern DNA samples. This involves co-amplification two genes a single reaction system subsequent analysis fusion curves; gene sequences construction suitable primers...
The process of debittering table olives, known as “natural”, represents the most studied method for its peculiarities. Searching among other studies, very little evidence was found about “outside lab” tests; this encouraged our research, given numerous external factors that could influence whole process. In study, we followed batch fermentation processes inside an industrial facility, testing both spontaneous and guided processes. starter selected a 1:1 ratio Lactiplantibacillus plantarum B1...
