Rapidly growing interest in using nanoparticles (NPs) for biomedical applications has
increased concerns about their safety and toxicity. In comparison with bulk materials, NPs …

Cobalt (Co) and its compounds are widely distributed in nature and are part of numerous
anthropogenic activities. Although cobalt has a biologically necessary role as metal …

Cobalt metabolism and toxicology are summarized. The biological functions of cobalt are
updated in the light of recent understanding of cobalt interference with the sensing in almost …

Au nanoparticles with plasmon resonances in the near-infrared (NIR) region of the spectrum
efficiently convert light into heat, a property useful for the photothermal ablation of cancerous …

Stem cells are primitive cells found in many multicellular organisms. Self-renewal and
differentiation potency are two defining properties of stem cells. Self-renewal is the ability to …

Cobalt (Co) is an essential element with ubiquitous dietary exposure and possible
incremental exposure due to dietary supplements, occupation and medical devices. Adverse …

Symptomatic abnormal periprosthetic soft-tissue reactions (“pseudotumors”) have been
reported after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (MoMHRA). The aims of this study …

The influence of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials on various fields since their discovery
has been remarkable. They have unique properties, and therefore, have been employed in …

Occupational and environmental exposure to Co and Cr has been previously linked to a
wide array of inflammatory and degenerative conditions and cancer. Recently, significant …

Inflammatory pseudotumours occasionally occur after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing and
often lead to revision. Our aim was to determine the severity of this complication by …
