Cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of silver nanoparticles in the human lung cancer cell line, A549 (2011, background): “It was also reported that apoptosis induced by Ag NPs was mediated by oxidative stress in Wbroblast, muscle, colon and monocyte cell lines (Arora et al. 2008; Foldbjerg et al. 2009; Hsin et al. 2008).”
Mode of antiviral action of silver nanoparticles against HIV-1 (2010, background): “They are now used as part of clothing, food containers, wound dressings, ointments, implant coatings, and other items [22,23]; some silver nanoparticle applications have received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration [24].”
Alternative Antimicrobial Approach: Nano-Antimicrobial Materials (2015, background): “Metal NM have in several studies been shown to be cytotoxic [114, 141], genotoxic [142], and potentially carcinogenic [143] and to induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation [144].”
Silver nanoparticles: synthesis, properties, and therapeutic applications (2014, background): “Furthermore, damage to mitochondria impairs electron transfer, thereby activating mitochondrion-dependent apoptosis [45].”
