During the last years remission rates of more than 72% for arsenic(III)-oxide (As(2)O(3)) treatment in relapsed or refractory acute promyelocytic leukemia have been published. As(2)O(3) is under clinical investigation for therapy of leukemia and solid tumors. Due to the chemical
Nanoparticles (NPs) are materials with one dimension in the range of 1-100 nm. The toxicity of NPs remains widely unknown and still poses concerns, due to the peculiar characteristics of materials in the nano-size range. We analyze the toxicity of
