The so-called “Trojan-horse” mechanism, in which nanoparticles are internalized within cells
and then release high levels of toxic ions, has been proposed as a behavior in the cellular …

The toxic mechanism of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is still debating, partially because of
the common co-occurrence and the lack of methods for separation of AgNPs and Ag+ in …

The concept of nanotechnologies is based on size-dependent properties of particles in the 1–
100 nm range. However, the relation between the particle size and biological effects is still …

Toxicity of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) has been reported both in vitro and in vivo.
However, the intracellular stability and chemical state of Ag NPs are still not very well …

Toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is supported by many observations in literature, but
no mechanism details have been proved yet. Here we confirm and quantify the toxic …

A comprehensive study of the bioavailability of orally administered silver nanoparticles
(AgNPs) was carried out using a rat model. The silver uptake was monitored in liver and …

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are well known for their excellent antibacterial ability and
superior physical properties, and are widely used in a growing number of applications …

Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are becoming increasingly prevalent in consumer products as
antibacterial agents. The increased use of Ag NP-enhanced products may lead to an …

A set of three types of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are prepared, which have the same Ag
cores, but different surface chemistry. Ag cores are stabilized with mercaptoundecanoic acid …

Our knowledge of uptake, toxicity and detoxification mechanisms as related to
nanoparticles'(NPs') characteristics remains incomplete. Here we combine the analytical …
