The effect of silica nanoparticles on human corneal epithelial cells

Purpose Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are manipulated as potential drug delivery method. Some previous studies focused on the cellular toxicities depending on size and dose. In this study, we analyzed the effect of SiNPs on human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs). Methods Cell culture ‐HCECs were purchased from American Type Culture Collection Treatment of SiNPs ‐50 nm, 100 nm and 150 nm of SiNPs are provided from Chung‐Ang Univ. Cell Viability...
