Cytotoxicity and biointeractions of nanosilver in macrophages

Pratsinis A., Pratsinis S.E., Hervella P., Leroux J.-C., Pratsinis A., Pratsinis S.E., Sotiriou G.A., ETH Zürich, CH

Silver nanoparticles (nanosilver) are broadly used today in textiles, food packaging, household devices and bioapplications, prompting a better understanding of their toxicity and biological interactions. Here, nanosilver of well-defined size (5.7 to 20.4 nm) supported [...]

Cytotoxicity of silver nanoparticles

Sotiriou G.A., Pratsinis A., Pratsinis S.E., Leroux J.-C., Pratsinis A., Pratsinis S.E., Particle Technology Laboratory, ETH Zürich, CH

Silver nanoparticles are receiving more and more attention for their plasmonic colors and their antibacterial effects [1]. The addition of a nanothin SiO2 shell minimizes the release of toxic Ag ions and the contact of [...]
