      Sharma, Anuvansh; Raghunathan, Karthik; Solhaug, Helene; Antony, Jibin; Stenvik, Jørgen; Asbjørn, Magne; Bandyopadhyay, Sulalit; Einarsrud, Mari-Ann (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Dual stimuli-responsive nanogels (NGs) have gained popularity in the field of bio medicine due to their versatile nature of applicability. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-poly(acrylic acid) (pNIPAm-pAAc)-based NGs provide ...
    • Nanoplastics - A Potential Threat To Human Health? 

      Solhaug, Helene (Master thesis, 2019)
      Den økende bruken av nanomaterialer i alt fra forbruksprodukter til medisiner har ført til en økende offentlig interesse for hvilke følger eksponeringen kan ha for mennesker og helse. Det å forstå hvilke inflammatoriske ...
    • Nanoplastics affect the inflammatory cytokine release by primary human monocytes and dendritic cells 

      Weber, Annkatrin; Schwiebs, Anja; Solhaug, Helene; Stenvik, Jørgen; Nilsen, Asbjørn Magne; Wagner, Martin; Relja, Borna; Radeke, Heinfried H. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      So far, the human health impacts of nano- and microplastics are poorly understood. Thus, we investigated whether nanoplastics exposure induces inflammatory processes in primary human monocytes and monocyte-derived dendritic ...
