The Toxicity of Polystyrene-Based Nanoparticles in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Is Associated with Nanoparticle Charge and Uptake Mechanism
Ozbek, Ozlem; O. Ulgen, Kutlu; İleri Ercan, Nazar (2021-04-19)
Polystyrene latex (PSL) nanoparticles (NPs), 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) liposomes, and hybrid NPs that have different concentrations, sizes, surface charges, and functional groups were used to determin...
Cytotoxicity analysis of nanoparticles by association rule mining
Gul, Gulsah; Yildirim, Ramazan; İleri Ercan, Nazar (2021-04-01)
Understanding the toxicity behavior of NPs is of great importance to ensure efficient delivery to intracellular targets without causing cytotoxicity, to measure the long-term effects of nanoparticles (NPs), and to predict ...
Fullerene translocation through peroxidized lipid membranes
Gul, Gulsah; İleri Ercan, Nazar (2021-02-15)
Recent cytotoxicity research suggests that fullerenes can enter the cell and cross the blood-brain barrier. However, the underlying toxicity mechanism behind the penetration of fullerenes through biological membranes is st...
