Best paper in toxicology in Norway 2024 and paper in Nature Protocols
The article was published in NanoToday and is an international collaboration, which highlights the very important and relevant issue of interference of nanomaterials with in vitro studies, which hampers the assessment of nanomaterials’ biological effects.
Main content
The best paper in Toxicology in Norway in 2024 was awarded by the Toxicology section of the Norwegian Society of Pharmacology and Toxicology to “Hazard assessment of nanomaterials using in vitro toxicity assays: Guidance on potential assay interferences and mitigating actions to avoid biased results”.
Label-free impedance-based methods, pioneered and developed by the NanoSafety group at the Department of Clinical Dentistry provide a reliable solution to this problem. These methods were also included in a paper published in Nature Protocols: “A template wizard for the cocreation of machine-readable data-reporting to harmonize the evaluation of (nano)materials”.
Mihaela Roxana Cimpan, Ivan Rios-Mondragon and Emil Cimpan were co-authors on the two papers. The work was funded by the RiskGONE EU H2020 project and the NanoBioReal project funded by the Research Council of Norway.
