Nanotoxicological Effects of SiO2 Nanoparticles on Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 Cells.
In conclusion, we have demonstrated that the NPs possess an effect that is highly influenced by the size, charge and concentration. Although, silica NPs are being used in the biomedical field, these results contribute to further understanding the risk that could be associated to nanoparticles and how these can be modified in order to meet the requirements of each desired application.
