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

R. Podlipec, A. Sebastijanovic, H. Cassidy, L. Han, P. Danielsen, P. Cotar, H. Kokot, B. Korosevic Koser, A. Vencelj, L. Pirker, P. Umek, G. Hlawacek, R. Heller, D. Matallanas, P. Pelicon, , J. Strancar

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.

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

T. Koklic, S. Pintaric, I. Zdovc, M. Golob, P. Umek, A. Mehle, M. Dobeic, J. Strancar

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%.
