Mestrado em Biologia Molecular e CelularGraphene oxide (GO) is a compound with application in several fields, especially biomedicine and environment, due to its unique properties which confer excellent characteristics. Despite the nowadays wide application of nanomaterials, the lack of information regarding the risks to human health and the environment is still remaining. Consequently, the investigation about the toxicity of nanoparticles must be a priority. The lung is one of the main routes of entry for nanoparticles into the body, therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of graphene oxide in lung, using as model the human carcinoma epithelial cell line (A549). The morphology and viability of A549 cells were...
