Background: The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used in the production of numerous commercial and medical products and are found to have adverse effects on animals. The sessile marine polychaete worm, Hydroides elegans, was examined for the influence of AgNPs on external fertilization and early developmental stages.
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.
