It takes two to tango: Understanding the interactions between engineered nanomaterials and the immune system
Abstract
The immune system represents our primary defense system against foreign intrusion, including pathogens as well as particles. In order to understand the potential toxicity of engineered nanomaterials of ever increasing sophistication, it is necessary to understand the sophistication of the immune system with its multiple, specialized cell types and soluble mediators. Moreover, it is important to consider not only material-intrinsic properties of the pristine nanomaterial, but also the acquired, context-dependent 'identity' of a nanomaterial in a living system resulting from the adsorption of biomolecules on its surface. The immune system has evolved to recognize a vast array of microbes through so-called pattern recognition; we discuss in the present review whether engineered nanomaterials with or without a corona of biomolecules could also be sensed as 'pathogens' by immune-competent cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
