This study evaluates the toxicological effects of NiO nanoparticles and ionic nickel in a human lung-heart co-culture system, showing nickel translocation and cardiotoxic effects.

This study investigates the toxicity of copper ultrafine particles from railway catenary sparking using in vitro lung models and finds adverse effects including inflammation and DNA damage.

This study shows aerosolized nanoalgosomes reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in bronchial co-cultures, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents for chronic lung diseases.

This study evaluates the genotoxic and mutagenic effects of combustion particles from marine fuels with varying sulfur content, finding that toxicological outcomes correlate more with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content than sulfur content.
