Elucidation of toxicity pathways in lung epithelial cells induced by silicon dioxide nanoparticles.

A study into the effects of amorphous nano-SiO2 particles on A549 lung epithelial cells was undertaken using proteomics to understand the interactions that occur and the biological consequences of exposure of lung to nanoparticles. Suitable conditions for treatment, where A549 cells remained viable...
