In data 10-11 maggio 2012 si terrà presso l’Istituto Superiore di Sanità a Roma il “Convegno Nanomateriali e Salute”
Il Convegno è stato organizzato dal gruppo di lavoro “Nanomateriali e Salute”, recentemente costituito in ISS, per illustrare le attività interdisciplinari dell’Istituto in risposta alla sfida che si sta aprendo, per il mondo scientifico ed istituzionale, verso un equilibrio tra l’introduzione di materiali innovativi e la necessità di assicurare un alto livello di protezione per l’individuo e l’ambiente.
E’ possibile effettuare l’iscrizione (gratuita) entro il 27 aprile 2012 mentre la deadline per l'invio di abstract per la sessione poster al convegno è fissata per il 6 aprile 2012.
Maggiori informazioni saranno disponibili sul sito dedicato al Convegno http://www.nanomaterialiesalute.it |

A REVIEW ON THE MECHANISMS OF INORGANIC NANOPARTICLES/BIOFLUIDS INTERACTIONS
A deep knowledge of the processes occurring when a nanoparticle cames in contact with the biological fluids at a molecular level is extremely important in both toxicological and pharmaceutical fields. The fate of a nanoparticle in the body and the toxic or beneficial response of cells to it are, in fact, strictly dependent by the early processes occurring at the nanoparticle surface/biofluid interface. The comprehension of such processes is still at the early stages.
Ivana Fenoglio has been invited to review the stat-of-the-art of understanding inorganic surfaces/macrobiomolecules interaction in ADDR (I. Fenoglio, B. Fubini, E. Ghibaudi, F. Turci, Multiple aspects of the interaction of biomacromolecules with inorganic surfaces Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews 2011, 63, 1186-1209). Read the abstract.

Long and Short Amosite Fibres. Reloaded! |
|

Scientific communication

High aspect ratio materials: role of surface chemistry vs. length in the historical "long and short amosite asbestos fibers" by M. Tomatis and coworkers is currently in the 5 most read articles on Inhalation Toxicology website. Please download the paper: doi:10.3109/08958378.2010.504243
In nanotoxicology the question arises whether high aspect ratio materials should be regarded as potentially pathogenic like asbestos, merely on the base of their biopersistence and length to diameter ratio. A higher pathogenicity of long asbestos fibers is associated to their slower clearance and frustrated phagocytosis. In the past decades, two amosite fibers were prepared and studied to confirm the role of fiber length in asbestos toxicity. Long fiber amosite (LFA) and short fiber amosite (SFA) have here been revisited, to check differences in their surface properties, known to modulate the biological responses elicited.
