Effect of Fiber Length on Carbon Nanotube-Induced Fibrogenesis

Effect of Fiber Length on Carbon Nanotube-Induced Fibrogenesis

Given their extremely small size and light weight, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be readily inhaled by human lungs resulting in increased rates of pulmonary disorders, particularly fibrosis. Although the fibrogenic potential of CNTs is well established, there is a lack of consensus regarding the contr...
