Abstract:AuCu–Cu2S nanocomposites
are unique materials
with exceptional properties that have recently received a lot of interest.
However, little is known about their potential toxicity in terrestrial
organisms and their subsequent effects on the environment. Therefore,
it is essential to develop effective methodologies for evaluating
AuCu–Cu2S nanocomposites in biological systems.
This study reports the biological evaluation of the AuCu–Cu2S nanocomposite from animal and cell entity levels. The Bombyx mori silkworm wa… Show more
