Acute toxic effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on Hydra magnipapillata

Intermediate cells of in vitro cellular reprogramming and in vivo tissue regeneration require desmoplakin

“…The samples were sectioned (60 nm) with an ultramicrotome (RMC MTXL; Boeckeler Instruments, Tuscon, AZ, USA), and double-stained with 2% uranyl acetate for 20 min and lead citrate for 10 min. The sections were then viewed under an H-7600 (HITACHI, Tokyo, Japan) transmission electron microscope at 80 kV ( 47 ).…”

A simple and rapid method for toxicity evaluation of zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnO NPs) in benthic animal Hydra magnipapillata

“…The method presented here provides a simple procedure to determine the lethal concentration and rapid procedures to detect toxic effects of ZnO NPs in morphology and regeneration of H. magnipapillata using morphological characters. This method is used to evaluate the acute toxic impacts of ZnO NPs on H. magnipapillata [1]. This animal is commonly used as an animal model for biological studies and environmental toxicity tests [2].…”

“…The procedures presented here accompany the results described in the previous study about acute toxic effects of ZnO NPs on H. magnipapillata [1]. Table 1 was adapted from this study.…”

The effect of PEG functionalization on the in vivo behavior and toxicity of CdTe quantum dots

“…Moreover, the relevance between the dose of exogenous substances and biological reaction can be understood through acute toxicity tests, which can indicate the potential target organs to provide reference for long-term research. [13][14][15][16] In addition, it is highly dependent on the biocompatibility of QDs in biological and biomedical applications. Although QDs can be directly prepared in an aqueous solution without residual organic molecules, their uptake in the reticuloendothelial system (RES) and nonspecic adsorption are not negligible based on previous studies.…”
