How Does SA:V Ratio Affect Nanoparticles in Toxicology?
In the field of nanotoxicology, the SA:V ratio becomes even more critical. Nanoparticles, due to their small size, often have a high SA:V ratio. This increases their reactivity and potential to interact with biological systems. Nanoparticles can penetrate cells more easily and may cause cellular stress or damage due to their increased surface interaction. Understanding this ratio helps researchers predict and mitigate the potential toxic effects of nanoparticles.
