Conference Object Computational Nanotoxicology: a Case Study With Silver and Zinc Nanomaterials(Elsevier, 2022) Bilgi, Eyüp; Öksel Karakuş, CeydaNanomaterials (NMs) have been the focus of basic and applied research for more than two decades. According to the updated consumer materials inventory, over 1800 commercial NMs have taken their place in the market, 42% of which are in health and wellness category1. The widespread use of NMs in health-related products made not only the human exposure to the (residues of) NMs inevitable but also the long-recognized concerns over their safety a priority. Despite this pressing need, more than 70% of commercially available nano-containing products do not include sufficient information about their physicochemical and/or toxicological characteristics.Conference Object Development of Novel Nanotoxicity Assessment Method Utilizing 3d Printing System(Elsevier, 2022) Başlar, Muhammet Semih; Öksel Karakuş, Ceyda; Aldemir Dikici, BetülUnique physicochemical properties of nanomaterials (NMs) make them a material of choice in various applications but also raise concerns about their potential toxicity. While the commercial use of nano-enabled materials is growing rapidly, their interaction with biological systems and environment are not yet fully understood [1, 2]. Traditionally, toxicity of nano-sized materials are assessed by 2D cell culture models due to their time and cost-related advantages but their simplicity often comes at the cost of accuracy. While these methods are considered as the first step in toxicological assessment of both nanosized and bulk-form materials, they fall short in mimicking the complexity of in vivo physiological environments.
