Methods for understanding the interaction between nanoparticles and cells

Methods Mol Biol. 2012:926:33-56. doi: 10.1007/978-1-62703-002-1_3.

Abstract

A critical view of the current toxicological methods used in nanotechnology and their related techniques. Hereby, toxicological effects derived from the intracellular accumulation and uptake will be examined. Then advantages/disadvantages of these methods will be discussed. Additional analytical techniques necessary to implement the results will be reviewed.
