Fig. 4. Characterization of nanoparticles with varied surface properties.
A) The shape of nanoparticles with varied surfaces was characterized by TEM and B) size was assessed by Dynamic Light Scattering in water, PBS, and medium (Avg. of 3 readings). C) Zeta Potential of nanoparticles was measured in water, DPBS, and cell culture medium (Avg. of 3 readings). Cell viability of D) BMSCs in response to 72 hr treatment with 10 μg/ml nanoparticles and E) RAW264.7 cells in response to 72 hr treatment with 25 μg/ml nanoparticles as indicated (N=3–6). Avg.±Stdev.
