Cytotoxicity and Efflux Pump Inhibition Induced by Molybdenum Disulfide and Boron Nitride Nanomaterials with Sheetlike Structure

Sheetlike molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and boron nitride (BN) nanomaterials have attracted attention in the past few years due to their unique material properties. However, information on adverse effects and their underlying mechanisms for sheetlike MoS2 and BN nanomaterials is rare. In this study, cytotoxicities of sheetlike MoS2 and BN nanomaterials on human hepatoma HepG2 cells were systematically investigated at different toxic end points....
