The effects of ingested cellulose nanomaterials on DNA methylation in intestinal cells
This study shows that CNMs may have a biological effect on Caco-2 cells, affecting DNA methylation, and highlights the importance of epigenetic analysis in pointing out the way for unraveling the mechanisms underlying their toxicity.
