Toxicity assessment of the selenium nanoparticles in vitro ‎
Summary
A toxicity assessment of selenium nanoparticles evaluated cytotoxic effects, inflammatory responses, and oxidative stress in vitro, providing baseline data for regulatory safety evaluation of selenium-based nanomaterials. The study contributes to growing literature on nanoparticle hazard characterization.
The negative effects of nanoparticles include cytotoxicity, the development of nonspecific inflammatory reactions and oxidative stress, and oncogenicity. In this regard, the assessment of the toxicity of nanoparticles is becoming increasingly relevant. Selenium nanoparticles were selected for the experiment. Acceptable ranges of nanoparticle concentrations for various research methods have been determined in experiments. In the MTT test, the average lethal concentration of selenium nanoparticles
