{JOURNAL FOCUS HIGHLIGHTS UNDERWRITTEN BY THE ABOVE}

" "  Two decades of nanotoxicology research has shown that the interactions between nanomaterials and cells, animals, humans, and the environment are remarkably complex. Researchers are still trying to understand in detail how the physical, chemical, and other properties of nanomaterials influence these interactions, and thus determine the ultimate impact of nanomaterials on health and the environment. ...[A]s new nanomaterials are developed, and animal testing is reduced, computational methods are becoming increasingly important for prioritizing safety studies. There is also an ongoing debate about the regulation of nanomaterials. Nature Nanotechnology has published articles on all [of] these topics and this web focus on nanotoxicology contains links to all of them. " "
