Analysis and modeling of time-course gene-expression profiles from nanomaterial-exposed primary human epidermal keratinocytes

摘要

BackgroundNanomaterials are being manufactured on a commercial scale for use in medical, diagnostic, energy, component and communications industries. However, concerns over the safety of engineered nanomaterials have surfaced. Humans can be exposed to nanomaterials in different ways such as inhalation or exposure through the integumentary system.
