Biologic nanoparticles and platelet reactivity.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Effects of bovine-derived and hydroxyapatite NPs on basal release of ATP were both time and concentration dependent. These results suggest that biologic NPs modulate both platelet aggregation and secretion. Biologically derived NPs could modify platelet responses within the vasculature, thereby reducing blood coagulability and the vascular response to injury.

Platelet compatibility of PLGA, chitosan and PLGA-chitosan nanoparticles.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Aim: The increasing interest in biodegradable nanoparticles containing biomaterials such as poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and chitosan for drug delivery raises issues regarding the blood compatibility of these nanoparticles, since some nanoparticles, including carbon nanoparticles, can affect human platelet aggregation and cause vascular thrombosis. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate the effect of polymeric nanoparticles on human platelet function by measuring aggregation and receptor expression in vitro. Materials & method: PLGA, chitosan-PLGA and a series of chitosan nanoparticles were pre...

High-strength metal nanomagnets for diagnostics and medicine: carbon shells allow long-term stability and reliable linker chemistry.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The rapidly growing applications of nanomagnets in magnetic drug delivery and separation in clinical diagnostics require strong and reliable magnetic vehicles. Strength conveys rapid processing, high delivery/targeting yield and rapid results when used in clinics. Reliability enables recycling of nanomagnets, regulatory-conforming drug formulations and efficient use of (expensive) antibodies in diagnostics, combined with reduced leaching (reagent loss). The present work illustrates how metal-based nanomagnets provide a two-three-times stronger magnetic particle than conventional magnetite-based materials. Ligands, anti...

Nanotechnology applications already on the market or in development promise great benefits for humans as well as the environment. Simultaneously, the pressure to advance the development of fast methods for evaluating the potential risks of increased human exposure to nanomaterials is augmented. One way forward would be to enhance the role of in vitro toxicity studies in risk assessment procedures of nanomaterials. However, to maximize the use of in vitro assays for this purpose, their values and limitations need to be revealed. Even in risk assessment frameworks for regular chemicals, in vitro studies play a minor role...
