Molecular impacts of advanced nanomaterials at genomic and epigenomic levels

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The use of nanomaterials has significantly increased in the past few decades owing to their unique physicochemical properties that differ vastly from their bulk forms. Such specific physicochemical characteristics are also responsible for their distinctive biological and toxicological effects. Various organic and inorganic nanomaterials have been used for pharmaceutical/biomedical purposes. Many of the biological and toxicological effects elicited by nanomaterials are due to their ability in interacting with biological entities at molecular levels such as genetic and epigenetic effects. This chapter aims to provide an overview of the known genetic and epigenetic effects induced by major nanomaterials.
