EXCERPT FROM JOURNAL ABSTRACT:
Ceria nanoparticles have attracted a great deal of concern about their impact on human health and the environment due to their widespread applications. [...] The results suggested that surface charge density was closely involved in the cytotoxicity of ceria nanoparticles for E. coli. This work as a well-designed comparison study contributes to a better understanding of the charge-associated biological effects of nanomaterials.
