The species origin of the serum in the culture medium influences the in vitro toxicity of silica nanoparticles to HepG2 cells.

The formation of a protein corona around nanoparticles can influence their toxicity, triggering cellular responses that may be totally different from those elicited by pristine nanoparticles. The main objective of this study was to investigate whether the species origin of the serum proteins forming...
