“…Lower accumulation was also reported for Au nanorods than for spherical AuNPs in mammalian fibroblast, HeLa, and brain tumor cells (Chithrani et al 2006). On the other hand, shape has been shown not to have any significant effect on the bioaccumulation of 6, 71-, and 139nm CuO nanospheres, 7-, 73-, and 126-nm CuO nanorods, and 7-, 56-, and 133-nm CuO nanospindles in the estuarine sediment-dwelling polychaete N. diversicolor (Thit et al 2015).
