Abstract

Although silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most frequently used nanomaterials (NMs) in industrial and biomedical applications, their toxicity and interaction with blood components, such as erythrocytes, has been insufficiently investigated. Here, we report on the effect of AgNPs at the level of cellular function, and particularly on ion transport in human red blood cells (HRBCs).
