What is the body's immune response to nanoparticles?
The body's immune response to nanoparticles can be complex and varies depending on the size, shape, composition, and surface characteristics of the nanoparticles. The immune system may recognize these tiny particles as foreign invaders, leading to a series of defense mechanisms aimed at neutralizing or eliminating them. This response can include the activation of macrophages, dendritic cells, and other immune cells, which may engulf and attempt to break down the nanoparticles.
