Research and Markets: Nanotoxicology: Materials & Methods

DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/62ad67/nanotoxicology_ma) has announced the addition of Future Science Ltd's new report "Nanotoxicology: Materials & Methods" to their offering.

While there is a growing and emerging sense that well-engineered, novel-property nanomaterials will be tested and used more and more in the future for wide-ranging biomedical applications, there is also a growing concern that there could be unusual and unexpected toxicity. This toxicity could be due to the very novel properties - higher reactivity, unusual complex shapes and accessibility to cells crossing biological barriers - that the human-made materials have in the nanoscale. Therefore, it is urgently essential to establish a new toxicology study different or modified from conventional ways. In this respect, this special focus issue will provide the chance to read and discuss the most recent and important researches toward nanotoxicology in terms of new methods, biological models and experimental concerns.
