Size-Dependent Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity of Silver Nanoparticles in Cochlear Cells In Vitro

Figure 7

The viability of both cell lines decreased proportionally with the concentration of AgNPs. The toxicity was also size dependent for the AgNPs, with the 5 nm NPs being the most toxic, followed by the 25 nm, 50 nm, and 110 nm NPs in both HaCaT (a) and HEI-OC1 (b) cell lines.
