Nanopinion: Selenium nanoparticles induce global histone methylation changes in ovarian cancer cells
Discover the insights from Prof. Steve Conlan and Prof. Laurent Charlet on the latest Nanopinion, where they explore selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) as a potential anti-cancer agent.
Nanomaterials and health
Are substances in nanoforms more dangerous than they are in their normal size? Some are and some are not. Just like any other chemical substance, nanomaterials have to be assessed separately.
Nanomaterials are not only used in consumer products, but also in new and innovative medical treatments. Research has shown that nanoparticles can be used to damage and even destroy cancer cells from within.
