Particulate matter constituents trigger the formation of extracellular amyloid beta and Tau-containing plaques and neurite shortening in vitro

This study shows that particulate matter exposure in vitro causes amyloid beta plaques and neurite shortening in neuron-like cells, resembling Alzheimer's disease features.

Binucleated cell formation and oncogene expression after particulate matter exposure is preceded by microtubule disruption, dysregulated cell cycle, prolonged mitosis, and septin binding

This study shows that TiO2 nanotubes and MWCNTs induce different cancer-related changes in vitro, with TiO2 nanotubes disrupting microtubules and inducing binucleated cells, while MWCNTs activate the STING pathway.

Strain-dependent selective antimicrobial action of cationic polyelectrolytes on Gram-negative bacteria

This study compares the effects of cationic polyelectrolytes on two Gram-negative bacterial strains, showing strain-dependent toxicity and differences in PE penetration.

Controlled Fluorescent Labelling of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles for Artefact-free Live Cell Microscopy

The paper describes a method to fluorescently label metal-oxide nanoparticles without causing experimental artefacts, ensuring reliable live-cell microscopy for studying nanomaterials.

Photocatalytic disinfection of surfaces with copper doped TiO2 nanotube coatings illuminated by ceiling mounted fluorescent lights

The paper demonstrates that copper-doped TiO2 nanotube coatings on surfaces, when illuminated by fluorescent lights, effectively disinfect surfaces by reducing Listeria innocua growth by 99%.
