The potential for maternal nanoparticle (NP) exposures to cause developmental toxicity in the fetus without the direct passage of NPs has previously been shown, but the mechanism remained elusive. We now demonstrate that exposure of cobalt and chromi... Read More about Nanoparticle-induced neuronal toxicity across placental barriers is mediated by autophagy and dependent on astrocytes.
