• Cellular Responses of Industrially Relevant Silica Dust on Human Glial Cells In Vitro 

      Arnoldussen, Yke Jildouw; Ervik, Torunn Kringlen; Eriksen, Mina Baarnes; Kero, Ida; Skaug, Vidar; Zienolddiny, Shanbeh (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Despite the rigorous emission control measures in the ferroalloy industry, there are still emissions of dust during the production of various alloys. Dust particles were collected from laboratory scale processes where oxide ...
    • Chitosan as a wound dressing starting material: antimicrobial Properties and mode of action 

      Matica, Mariana Adina; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Tøndervik, Anne; Sletta, Håvard; Ostafe, Vasile (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Fighting bacterial resistance is one of the concerns in modern days, as antibiotics remain the main resource of bacterial control. Data shows that for every antibiotic developed, there is a microorganism that becomes ...
    • Cytotoxicity of poly(Alkyl cyanoacrylate) nanoparticles 

      Sulheim, Einar; Iversen, Tore Geir; To, Vu; Klinkenberg, Geir; Sletta, Håvard; Schmid, Ruth; Hatletveit, Anne Rein; Wågbø, Ane Marit; Sundan, Anders; Skotland, Tore; Sandvig, Kirsten; Mørch, Ýrr Asbjørg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Although nanotoxicology has become a large research field, assessment of cytotoxicity is often reduced to analysis of one cell line only. Cytotoxicity of nanoparticles is complex and should, preferentially, be evaluated ...
    • Mechanisms of Toxicity of Industrially Relevant Silicomanganese Dust on Human 1321N1 Astrocytoma Cells: An In Vitro Study 

      Arnoldussen, Yke Jildouw; Ervik, Torunn Kringlen; Samulin-Erdem, Johanna Maria; Kero, Ida; Eriksen, Mina Baarnes; Skaug, Vidar; Zienolddiny, Shanbeh (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Tremendous efforts are applied in the ferroalloy industry to control and reduce exposure to dust generated during the production process, as inhalable Mn-containing particulate matter has been linked to neurodegenerative ...
