Physicochemical insights of irradiation-enhanced hydroxyl radical generation from ZnO nanoparticles

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: imaging that irradiated ZnO NPs triggered cytoplasmic calcium influxes and facilitated nuclear degradation. Together these findings present a novel physicochemical mechanism for ˙OH generation from ZnO NPs with significant implications for nanoparticle cytotoxicity and their relation to human health.
