Токсичность наночастиц диоксида церия

Abstract

The unique properties of nanoparticles (NP) allow its use in many fields, including medicine. Ceria NP depending on the acidity of the environment can generate a large quantity of ROS. Healthy and cancerous cells have different pH environment. Depending pH ceria nanoparticles may enhance the generation of ROS in the cancer cell medium and facilitate cell death.
