The present study confirmed that the natural-mineral-based novel nanomaterial IFMC, with a size of tens of nanometres (Figure 1 ), could induce an increase of intravascular NO (Figure 3) , vasodilation (vessel diameter) and blood flow rate in a living body (Figure 4) , as well as an increase of the surface temperature of a hand including fingers ( Figure 5 ). To summarise, our inter-and trans-disciplinary approach revealed that the natural-mineral-based novel nanomaterial IFMC can induce an increase of intravascular NO, vasodilation and blood flow rate, as well as an increase of hand surface temperature in a living body.	./cache/cord-291644-5y0ioety.txt	./txt/cord-291644-5y0ioety.txt
