Influence of Nanomaterial and Technology on Cellular Structure and Signal Transduction

Abstract:

Nanomaterial is a field that takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology. The toxicity and values of nanomaterial are largely dependent on their effects on cellular structure and function. Research has focused on the cellular internalization and metabolism of nanomaterial. Little attention was paid to their actions on cells. This paper overviews current reports about the effects of nanomaterial on cellular structures of membrane, cytoskeleton, nuclear and cellular signal transduction.
