neurotoxicity

What Mechanisms Lead to Neurotoxicity?

The mechanisms through which nanoparticles cause neurotoxicity are multifaceted. They include oxidative stress, where an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants leads to cell damage; inflammation, which can result in chronic neural damage; and direct interaction with neural cells, which may disrupt cellular functions. Moreover, nanoparticles can induce genotoxicity, leading to DNA damage and subsequent neural cell apoptosis.
