Abstract excerpt
Purpose: While aged zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) show reduced acute cytotoxicity, their chronic effects remain unclear. This study compared the long-term, low-dose impact of environmentally aged versus fresh ZnO NPs on enhanced aggressive phenotype in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Material and Methods: HepG2 cells were chronically exposed (approximately 16 weeks) to low doses (1.5 µg/mL) of aged or fresh...
