Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of silver nanomaterials

Uyguy B., Mason M.D., Ng A-K., University of Southern Maine, US

Summary We have investigated the cytotoxic effect of dialyzed silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), PEGylated Ag NPs and silver nanorods on human cultured cells. The cytotoxicity of 24 h treatment with Ag NPs at 0.25, 0.5, [...]
