Influence of particle size and reactive oxygen species on cobalt chrome nanoparticle-mediated genotoxicity.

Patients with cobalt chrome (CoCr) metal-on-metal (MOM) implants may be exposed to a wide size range of metallic nanoparticles as a result of wear. In this study we have characterised the biological responses of human fibroblasts to two types of synthetically derived CoCr particles [(a) from a tribo...
