Molecular Mechanisms of the Toxicity and Carcinogenicity of Particulates
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you that we are planning a Topic on the molecular mechanisms of the toxicity and carcinogenicity of particulates. Particles and fibers affect human health as a function of their physicochemical properties, but both the mechanisms of action and link between physicochemical features and adverse responses are still often unclear. Knowledge of these mechanisms is fundamental for hazard identification and the development of new testing approaches as well as safe-by-design practices. This Topic aims to increase knowledge about the mechanisms of toxicity and role of physicochemical properties in the induction of adverse responses. Given your expertise in the field, we would like to invite you to send us a contribution. Original research articles (in vitro and in vivo studies) and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) particles and fibers of natural origin (asbestos and fibrous minerals, silica, volcanic ashes, and celestial dusts) and anthropic origin (artificial fibers, carbon nanotubes, titanium dioxide, particulate matter, metals, etc.), as well as the nanoparticles comprising them. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
