Mechanism of cellular uptake of genotoxic silica nanoparticles

Mechanism of cellular uptake of genotoxic silica nanoparticles

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Mechanisms for cellular uptake of nanoparticles have important implications for nanoparticulate drug delivery and toxicity. We have explored the mechanism of uptake of amorphous silica nanoparticles of 14 nm diameter, which agglomerate in culture medium to hydrod...
