Abstract excerpt
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been widely evaluated for their potential use as carriers for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Understanding the toxicity of MSNs is crucial to their biomedical applications. Although several groups have reported the cytotoxicity of MSNs, the genotoxicity (inducing genetic aberrations) of MSNs in normal human cells has not been extensively investigated. Gene amplification...
