Pro-inflammatory effects of crystalline- and nano-sized non-crystalline silica particles in a 3D alveolar model

BACKGROUND: Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are among the most widely manufactured and used nanoparticles. Concerns about potential health effects of SiNPs have therefore risen. Using a 3D tri-culture model of the alveolar lung barrier we examined effects of exposure to SiNPs (Si10) and crystalline sil...
