Silver Nanoparticles and Mitochondrial Interaction
Figure 10
(a) Progression of cell growth in time in a 3D dermal-like tissue after Ag NP streatment (white) and in the control sample (black), mean value ± SD samples versus time. The count of the live cells in the sample is obtained as the sum of the live cells at various depths at each position. (b) MTT test for mitochondrial activity in a 3D dermal-like tissue after Ag NPs treatment (white) and in the control sample (black) mean value ± SD samples versus time. As it is well evident, when silver nanoparticles are present, no mitochondrial activity is detectable.
