The immune-response of macrophages is an important area of investigation since it represents the major pathway by which early-stage defense barriers are established in skin, lungs, and mucosal systems to counteract foreign objects. In this study, we have examined the size-dependent inflammatory and toxicological effects of nanostructured silver particles (nano-Ag) on macrophage immune cells.
巨噬细胞的免疫反应是一个重要的研究领域,因为它代表了在皮肤、肺部和黏膜系统中建立早期防御屏障以对抗外来物体的主要途径。在这项研究中,我们研究了纳米结构银颗粒(nano-Ag)对巨噬细胞免疫细胞的尺寸依赖性炎症和毒理学效应。
