Programmed necrosis induced by asbestos in human mesothelial cells causes high-mobility group box 1 protein release and resultan
Asbestos carcinogenesis has been linked to the release of cytokines and mutagenic reactive oxygen species (ROS) from inflammatory cells. Asbestos is cytotoxic to human mesothelial cells (HM), which appears counterintuitive for a carcinogen. We show that asbestos-induced HM cell death is a regulated form of necrosis that links to carcinogenesis.

TIFR research provides boost to cancer treatment
Mumbai: Targeted drug delivery using carbon nano tubes (CNTs) was proposed as an effective tool for treating diseases like cancer. But clinical trials have shown that post treatment, it is very difficult to remove the CNTs from the blood stream. The localised accumulation of CNTs can be very toxic, resulting in serious medical problems, say scientists.
