Morphomechanical and organelle perturbation induced by silver nanoparticle exposure

The unique physico-chemical properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) make them a powerful tool in many fields, ranging from cosmetics, biomedicals, household products, and wound dressing. Several evidences suggest the strong toxicity of AgNPs both in vitro and in vivo, but few data are available to full understanding of their adverse effects on cellular components and cytoskeleton. In this work, we assessed the toxicity of citrate-capped AgNPs...
