Nanometer-long Ge-imogolite nanotubes cause sustained lung inflammation and fibrosis in rats
Résumé
We showed that nm-long Ge-imogolites persist in the lung and promote genotoxicity, sustained inflammation and fibrosis, indicating that short high aspect ratio nanomaterials should not be considered as innocuous materials. Our data also suggest that Ge-imogolite structure and external surface determine their toxic activity.
