Silver nanoparticles: Electron transfer, reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress, beneficial and toxicological effects. Mini review
Abstract
The industry of nanotechnology has had a rapid development in the last decades. In particular, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have unique properties so they can be used in different industrial applications, mainly in areas such as electronics, environment, medicine, biosensors and biotechnology; as well as household and healthcare‐related products, like cosmetics, due to their antimicrobial properties. These beneficial effects are also offset by the higher chemical reactivity of these NPs due to their surface area to volume ratio, leading to the increased formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within cells. AgNPs, however, have a dark side: they increase the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). With increased human exposure to AgNPs, the risk and safety standards have attracted much attention. This review highlights the beneficial and toxicological effects of AgNPs in terms of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
