What Factors Influence Nanomaterial-Biology Interactions?
Several factors can influence these interactions, including:
Size: Smaller nanomaterials usually have higher cellular uptake but may also induce higher toxicity. Shape: The shape of nanomaterials can affect their cellular uptake and biodistribution. Surface Charge: Positively charged nanomaterials generally show higher cellular uptake but can also induce stronger cytotoxic effects. Surface Chemistry: Functionalization of nanomaterials can significantly alter their interactions with biological systems.
