Ong C, Yung LY, Cai Y, Bay BH, Baeg GH. Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism to study nanotoxicity. Nanotoxicology. 2014 Jul 22:1-8. PMID: 25051331.
From the abstract: "... The incorporation of nanomaterials into consumer and biomedical products is a cause for concern as nanomaterials are often associated with toxicity in many in vitro studies. In vivo animal studies of the toxicity of nanomaterials with rodents and other mammals are, however, limited ... Drosophila, a genetically tractable organism with distinct developmental stages and short life cycle, serves as an ideal organism to study nanomaterial-mediated toxicity ...

Editorial suggests use of Drosophila in studies related to nanotoxicology and nanomedicine
Vecchio G. A fruit fly in the nanoworld: once again Drosophila contributes to environment and human health. Nanotoxicology. 2014 Apr 28. PMID: 24766263.
From the abstract: "... The aim of this editorial is to encourage the use of Drosophila by the different research groups working in the fields of nanotoxicology and nanomedicine, in order to define the effects induced by nanomaterials at molecular level for their subsequent exploitation in the field of nanomedicine."
