Quantifying engineered nanomaterial toxicity: comparison of common cytotoxicity and gene expression measurements

Abstract Background When evaluating the toxicity of engineered nanomaterials (ENMS) it is important to use multiple bioassays based on different mechanisms of action. In this regard we evaluated the use of gene expression and common cytotoxicity measurements using as test materials, two selected nan...
