  • In vivo assessment of nanomaterial-induced toxicity using embryonic zebrafish

    Creator:
    Usenko, Crystal Y.
    Abstract:
    Due to their unique physical, chemical, and magnetic properties, nanomaterials have great potential for industrial development. There is a pressing need to develop rapid whole animal-based testing assays to assess the potential toxicity of engineered nanomaterials. To meet this challenge the embryonic zebrafish model was employed to determine the toxicity...

  • Automated manipulation of zebrafish embryos for high-throughput toxicology screening of nanomaterials

    Creator:
    Mandrell, David
    Abstract:
    The field of nanotechnology has been rapidly developing new materials. These materials have become incorporated into consumer products and the environment after only minimal assessment of their effects on human health or the environment. The toxicity of these new nanomaterials remains unknown due to the unpredictable nature of the core...
