Effect of surface properties of silica nanoparticles on their cytotoxicity and cellular distribution in murine macrophages

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Surface properties are often hypothesized to be important factors in the development of safer forms of nanomaterials (NMs). However, the results obtained from studying the cellular responses to NMs are often contradictory. Hence, the aim of this study was to inve...
