Nanoscale materials are presently under development for diagnostic (nanomedicine) and electronic purposes. In contrast to the potential benefits of nanotechnology, the effects of nanomaterials on human health are poorly understood. Nanomaterials are known to translocate into the circulation and could thus directly affect vascular endothelial cells (ECs), causing vascular injury that might be responsible for the development of atherosclerosis. To explore the direct effects of nanomaterials on end ...[more]
