Iseult Lynch from the MACRAMÉ Partner University of Birmingham co-authored a publication on the impact of mask use on micro(nano)plastic release.
Swaroop Chakraborty and Iseult Lynch from MACRAMÉ Partner University of Birmingham published an article on the influence of biocorona around engineered nanomaterials (ENM) on their environmental fate.
The development of new approach methodologies (NAMs) to replace current in vivo testing for the safety assessment of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) is hindered by the scarcity of validated experimental data for many ENMs. MACRAMÉ partners contributed to the publication ‘Wisdom of Crowds for Supporting the Safety Evaluation of Nanomaterials’.
MACRAMÉ colleagues from EMPA have published a study on Data-Driven Prediction of Nanoparticle Biodistribution from Physicochemical Descriptors.
MACRAMÉ colleagues from EMPA and Epithelix have published a paper entitled ‘Silicon Carbide Nanowires Impair Mucociliary Clearance-Mediated Innate Immunity in Primary Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells’. In this study, the fate of zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional silicon- and carbon-based nanomaterials was investigated for the first time.
The MACRAMÉ Project team has published an Innovation Report about its Project’s R&I approach. In the paper entitled ‘MACRAMÉ – Advanced characterisation methodologies to assess and predict the health and environmental risks of advanced materials‘, the authors describe the planned information-flow between the different R&I activities conducted in the Project (see Read more
Colleagues from the MACRAMÉ Partner University Birmingham contributed to a new review paper. The study conducts an exhaustive analysis of the state-of-the-art developments in the creation and enhancement of MXene-based membranes. Membranes have become a basis in tackling the global challenge of freshwater scarcity, notably in the fields of desalination and water purification.
The European Green Deal sets a roadmap for a sustainable future by 2050, aiming for a toxic-free environment and a circular economy. Key strategies include the Zero Pollution Ambition, the Circular Economy Action Plan, and the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability. Central to these efforts is the Safe and Sustainable by Read more
MACRAMÉ Partner EMPA published a paper with the title ‘Bridging the gap: Innovative human-based in vitro approaches for nanomaterials hazard assessment and their role in safe and sustainable by design, risk assessment, and life cycle assessment’. The application of nanomaterials in industry and consumer products is growing exponentially, which has pressed the development and use of predictive human in vitro models in pre-clinical analysis to closely extrapolate potential toxic effects in vivo.
Iseult Lynch from MACRAMÉ Partner University of Birmingham has published an article on the role of cosmetics in microplastic pollution.
