Interference of silver nanoparticles with essential metal homeostasis in a novel enterohepatic fish in vitro system

Kristin Schirmer

Silver nanoparticle toxicity has been extensively studied in several vertebrate cells. Its correlation with cellular essential metal homeostasis, however, has largely been overlooked. In this study, we used a novel in vitro model of a fish enterohepatic sy ...
