Assessment of temporal dose-toxicity relationship of fumed silica nanoparticle in human lung A549 cells by conventional cytotoxicity and 1H-NMR-based extracellular metabonomic assays. (2014)
Journal Article
IRFAN, A., CAUCHI, M., EDMANDS, W., GOODERHAM, N. J., NJUGUNA, J. and ZHU, H. 2014. Assessment of temporal dose-toxicity relationship of fumed silica nanoparticle in human lung A549 cells by conventional cytotoxicity and 1H-NMR-based extracellular metabonomic assays. Toxicological sciences [online], 138 (2), pages 354-364. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1093/toxsci/kfu009

As nanoparticles could form aggregates in biological systems, the dynamics of their dispersity drives the temporal effect of nanoparticles in vitro. To test this hypothesis, the fumed silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) that have primary sizes of 7-14 nm an...
