Intestinal toxicity evaluation of TiO<sub>2</sub> degraded surface-treated nanoparticles: a combined physico-chemical and toxicogenomics approach in caco-2 cells

Intestinal toxicity evaluation of TiO<sub>2</sub> degraded surface-treated nanoparticles: a combined physico-chemical and toxicogenomics approach in caco-2 cells

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used due to their specific properties, like UV filters in sunscreen. In that particular case TiO<sub>2</sub> NPs are surface modified to avoid...
