Covid-19 acute responses and possible long term consequences: What nanotoxicology can teach us
Pia Kinaret, Giusy del Giudice, Dario Greco
Abstract
Long-term effects of Covid-19 disease are still poorly understood. However, similarities between the responses to SARS-CoV-2 and certain nanomaterials suggest fibrotic pulmonary disease as a concern for public health in the next future. Cross-talk between nanotoxicology and other relevant disciplines can help us to deploy more effective Covid-19 therapies and management strategies.
