Articles
Informed Recommendations towards OECD Test Guidelines and Standards for Advanced Materials
The MACRAMÉ Project has developed twelve recommendations to address gaps in AdMas characterisation & identification, safety testing, transformation & release, and information flow.
Articles
New Publication: Readiness of the in vitro alveolar macrophage assay
Adverse health effects can be caused by inhaled particles. These inhaled particles can induce persistent pulmonary inflammation when macrophage-mediated clearance mechanisms are overwhelmed.
MACRAMÉ Newsletter (April 2026)
New Publication: Macrophages bend long fibres with flexural rigidity lower than 3 mN·nm²
MACRAMÉ colleagues from BAuA and IBE together with experts from the German BfR have published an extensive study on the behaviour of Macrophages when they encounter fibres.
Articles
New Publication: PM2.5-Induced Multinucleation of Bronchial Epithelial Cells
Experts from the MACRAMÉ Partner University of Birmingham published a paper on the PM2.5-induced multinucleation of bronchial epithelial Cells caused by microtubule overacetylation and disruption of microtubule-associated proteins.
MACRAMÉ Newsletter (July 2026)
Building Trust in the Integration of Artificial Intelligence into Chemical Risk Assessment
MACRAMÉ Project Partners AcumenIST have published an article about the discussions and conclusions of a workshop that elucidated how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing chemical risk assessment, enabling faster, more comprehensive, and potentially more ethical assessments.
Articles
New Publication: Determining the impact of common microplastic extraction methods from soil matrices on the biodegradable polymers polylactic acid and polyhydroxybutyrate
MACRAMÉ experts from University of Birmingham contributed to a new publication on the impact of common microplastic extraction methods.
Articles
New Publication: Challenges and Future Directions in Assessing the Quality and Completeness of Advanced Materials Safety Data for Re-Usability: A Position Paper From the Nanosafety Community
MACRAMÉ Experts from University of Birmingham and 7Past9 together with many other experts published an article on challenges and future directions in assessing the quality and completeness of advanced materials safety data for re-usability.
