(PISC) who talk about alternatives to animal testing for nanomaterials. News More news RSS 18 October 2020 Scientific advice on safety of nanomaterials in cosmetics open for comments The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has published its preliminary opinion on the safety of nanomaterials in cosmetics. Give your comments by 2 November 2020. 24 September 2020 EU research aims to revolutionise toxicity screening of nanomaterials Read our latest Nanopinion guest column from Professor Andrew Nelson, Project Coordinator of the EU funded HISENTS project who talks about an experimental screening platform that mimics a living organism. The nearest thing to a “human-on-a-chip”. 14 September 2020 Nanosilver in healthcare – does the silver bullet exist? Read our latest Nanopinion guest column from Dr Dorota Napierska, Health Care Without Harm Europe who talks about the benefits and risks of using nanosilver as an antimicrobial agent in clinical settings. Nanomaterials and health 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. Fighting cancer using nanotechnology 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.
