Cytotoxicity of Silver Nanoparticles in Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Fibroblasts and an L-929 Cell Line
Figure 6
TEM images of ultrathin sections of EBF (a)-(d) and L-929 (e)-(h) cells treated with Ag-NPs after 48 h. Nanoparticles were showed inside the cytoplasm (c), but they were not in the nucleus (n) of both cell types. Cells showed large endosomes (a) and (e) and lysosomes (b) and (f) with nanoparticles inside (red arrow). Invagination (c) and (g) and protrusion (d) and (h) of the plasma membrane were observed when Ag-NPs attached the cells (yellow arrow).
