The acidic transformed nano-VO2 causes macrophage cell death by the induction of lysosomal membrane permeabilization and Ca2+ efflux
Because of its outstanding thermochromic characteristics and metal-insulator transition (MIT) property, nano-vanadium dioxide (abbreviated as nano-VO2 or nVO2) has been applied widely in electrical/optical devices and design of intelligent window. However, the biological effect of nVO2 is not well u...
