Figure 4From: Genotoxicity and molecular response of silver nanoparticle (NP)-based hydrogelScheme of molecular mechanisms of cellular response against silver-NP-hydrogel exposed. The balance among anti-ROS-toxicity and DNA damage, apoptosis, mitosis inhibition of the cells might play important role in cytotoxicity. These responses were mainly induced by silver-NPs contained in silver-NP-hydrogel.Back to article page
