Evaluation of particle uptake in human blood monocyte-derived cells in vitro. Does phagocytosis activity of dendritic cells measure up with macrophages?
Lars Thiele,Barbara Rothen-Rutishauser,Samantha Jilek,Heidi Wunderli-Allenspach,Hans P. Merkle,Elke Walter +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that phagocytosis activity of DCs and MPhis largely depends on particle size and surface charge and is also influenced by the character of bulk and coating material.

Diesel exhaust: current knowledge of adverse effects and underlying cellular mechanisms
TL;DR: It is concluded that adverse health effects of diesel exhaust not only emerge from its chemical composition, but also from the interplay between its physical properties, the physiological and cellular properties, and function of the human respiratory tract.
Articular cartilage: from formation to tissue engineering
Sandra Camarero-Espinosa,Barbara Rothen-Rutishauser,E. Johan Foster,E. Johan Foster,Christoph Weder +4 more
TL;DR: This review article summarizes the current state of cartilage tissue engineering in the context of relevant biological aspects, such as the formation and growth of hyaline cartilage, its composition, structure and biomechanical properties.

Silica nanoparticles enhance disease resistance in Arabidopsis plants
Mohamed El-Shetehy,Mohamed El-Shetehy,Aboubakr Moradi,Mattia Maceroni,Didier Reinhardt,Alke Petri-Fink,Barbara Rothen-Rutishauser,Felix Mauch,Fabienne Schwab +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that SiO 2 NPs, as well as soluble Si(OH) 4, can induce systemic acquired resistance in a dose-dependent manner, which involves the defence hormone salicylic acid, and specifically designed silica nanoparticles have the potential to serve as an inexpensive, highly efficient, safe and tracelessly degradable alternative for pesticides.

A dose-controlled system for air-liquid interface cell exposure and application to zinc oxide nanoparticles.
Anke Gabriele Lenz,Erwin Karg,Bernd Lentner,Vlad Dittrich,Christina Brandenberger,Barbara Rothen-Rutishauser,Holger Schulz,George A. Ferron,Otmar Schmid +8 more
TL;DR: The ALICE is a useful tool for dose-controlled nanoparticle (or solute) exposure of cells at the air-liquid interface and indicates that ZnO nanoparticles are not toxic at occupationally allowed exposure levels.
