<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">On July 8, 2016, Konkuk University announced that researchers at the Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology published a review titled “Potential Toxicity of Engineered Nanoparticles in Mammalian Germ Cells and Developing Embryos” on <em>Human Reproduction Update.</em> The publication is ranked first out of 80 in the categories of “Obstetrics & Gynecology” according to Journal Citation Reports.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">With a size of less than 100 nanometers, engineered nanoparticles are used for a wide range of industrial and consumer products, including refrigerators, washing machines, and food packaging. In the review, the KU research team, comprised of Drs. Joydeep Das and Yun-Jung Choi as well as Professors Hyuk Song and Jin-Hoi Kim, explained in detail the probable route of exposure and the toxicological effects on reproductive organs.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Treatments with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory drugs as well as the use of metal chelators and surface-coating agents can mitigate the negative impact of engineered nanoparticles,” said Professor Kim. “On the other hand, further research on using nanoparticles for gene delivery can lower the cost of producing transgenic animals in clinical applications.”<br /><br /><img style="margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11666859" /></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
