Magnetite Nanoparticles Induce Genotoxicity in the Lungs of Mice via Inflammatory Response

Magnetite Nanoparticles Induce Genotoxicity in the Lungs of Mice via Inflammatory Response

Nanomaterials are useful for their characteristic properties and are commonly used in various fields. Nanosized-magnetite (MGT) is widely utilized in medicinal and industrial fields, whereas their toxicological properties are not well documented. A safety assessment is thus urgently required for MGT...
