The main objective of the present work was to assess the cellular uptake and potential genotoxicity (micronuclei induction) of TiO2 NPs on four diverse human cell lines.
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (ION) have a wide range of potential applications. Among them, the most important uses in biology and medicine are as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging, as carriers for drug delivery or transfection and as therapeutic agents in cancer therapy by magnetic field-mediated hyperthermia. For all these applications, ION must be introduced in the human body and co...
