Morphostructural and immunohistochemical study for evaluation of nano-TiO toxicity in Armadillo officinalis Duméril, 1816 (Crustacea, Isopoda, Oniscidea).

Invertebrates are precious organisms in order to study environmental pollution. In particular, they appear to be suitable as a bioindicator species for pioneer ecotoxicity studies on new xenobiotics such as nanoparticles. In fact, they are able to absorb nanomaterials scattered in the environment in different ways and it's known the compartmentalization of nano-sized contaminants in selected tissues and intracellular organelles.
