Background and aims: Nano particles are tiny materials (<1000 nm in size) that have specific physicochemical properties different to bulk materials of the same composition and such properties make them very attractive for commercial and medical development. In contrast to many efforts aimed at exploiting desirable properties of nano particles for medicine, there are limited attempts to evaluate potentially undesirable effects of these particles. Therefore, there is a pressing need for careful consideration of benefits and side effects of the use of nano particles in medicine. The purpose of this research was to compare the nano silver and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles’ biocompatibility on L929 fibroblast cells.
Materials and methods: To evaluate the biocompatibility of nano silver and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA), L929 fibroblast cells were cultured on a 96-well p.. View More»
