Over the last decade there has been a significant increase in the use of nanoparticles and nanomaterials in a wide range of applications but exactly how do these materials interact with humans? Since Toxicology Research was launched we have published a number of articles in this area and I thought I would highlight just some of them. All of these articles are free to access and if you like what you read why not submit your next research article to Toxicology Research?
