How is Oxidative Stress Related to Nanotechnology?
In the field of nanotechnology, the interaction of nanomaterials with biological systems has garnered significant attention. While nanomaterials have numerous beneficial applications, their unique properties, such as high surface area to volume ratio, can lead to increased ROS generation, thereby inducing oxidative stress. This is particularly concerning for engineered nanoparticles used in medical, industrial, and environmental applications.
