Understanding the interactions of nanoparticles (NPs) with cells and how these interactions
influence their cellular uptake is essential to exploring the biomedical applications of NPs …

Cellular internalisation of industrial engineered nanoparticles is undesired and a reason for
concern. Here we investigated and compared the ability of seven different mammalian cell …

Nanoparticles and their interaction with human cells have been a focus of many groups
during the past decade. We discuss and review here the progress in the field of …

Quantification of nanoparticles in biological systems (ie, cells, tissues and organs) is
becoming a vital part of nanotoxicological and nanomedical fields. Dose is a key parameter …

Abstract Background Nanoparticles (NPs) are currently used in a wide variety of fields such
as technology, medicine and industry. Due to the novelty of these applications and to ensure …
