In Vitro and In Vivo Models to Assess the Immune-Related Effects of Nanomaterials

The immunological safety of drugs, nanomaterials and contaminants is a central point in the regulatory evaluation and safety monitoring of working and public places and of the environment. In fact, anomalies in immune responses may cause diseases and hamper the physical and functional integrity of l...
