The effect of silica nanoparticle exposure on cultured human keratocytes

Purpose Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are closely related to our daily life including drug delivery, cosmetics and fine dust. However, the influence of SiNPs on human corneal keratocyte cells has not yet been widely studied. In this study, we investigated the effect of SiNPs on cultured human keratocytes. Methods Human keratocytes were cultured in DMEM/F12(1:1) medium containing 10% FBS and Antibiotic‐Antimycotic. SiNPs exposure was performed by...
