Abstract:Squid ink melanin nanoparticles (NPs) have recently been demonstrated to have a number of bioactivities; however, their biocompatibility has been poorly investigated. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of this NP on stromal cells, including human fibroblasts (hFBs), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (hUVECs), and human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs), and on the development of zebrafish embryos under normal X-ray irradiation conditions. The NPs showed high biocompatibil… Show more
