Báo cáo khoa học: Nanoparticles can induce changes in the intracellular metabolism of lipids without compromising cellular viability

There is growing concern about the safety of engineered nanoparticles, which are produced for various industrial applications. Quantum dots are colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles that have unique luminescence char-acteristics and the potential to become attractive tools for medical imaging. However, some of these particles can cause oxidative stress and induce cell death.
