Size-dependent anti-invasiveness effect of AgNPs was determined using A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells. The 13 nm AgNPs can significantly inhibit the migration and invasion of A549 cells and induce the elevated level of ROS and NF-κB directed cell apoptosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
