Development of A Multilevel Approach for The Evaluation of Nanomaterials’ Toxicity

Abstract

The multilevel approach proved to be useful for nanomaterial toxicity characterization. In particular, for the lanthanide-based nanoparticles tested in this work, the EDTA was identified as the main cause of the toxicity in vitro, suggesting a possible applicability of these nanoparticle suspensions for in vivo optical imaging.
