What are the Mechanisms of Ocular Toxicity Induced by Nanoparticles?
Several mechanisms can contribute to nanoparticle-induced ocular toxicity, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular apoptosis. Nanoparticles can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative damage in ocular tissues. They can also trigger inflammatory responses, which may further exacerbate tissue damage. Additionally, some nanoparticles may induce cell death through apoptosis, impacting the health of ocular cells.
