Why is Genotoxicity Testing Important in Nanotechnology?
The unique properties of nanoparticles, such as their small size, large surface area, and reactivity, may pose unforeseen risks to human health and the environment. Genotoxicity testing helps in understanding these risks and in developing safer nanomaterials. This is particularly important for nanomedicine applications, where nanoparticles are used for drug delivery, imaging, and therapy.
