NDs protect cultured cells from UVB damage. Experiment setting (A). Dose dependent (B, C) (UVI 6 for 10 min [68 mJ/cm²] at 1, 2, and 3 mg/cm² density) and time-dependent (D, E) (UVI 6 for 5 and 10 min [34 and 68 mJ/cm²] at 2 mg/cm² density) responses of nanomaterials in UVB protection of HaCaT (B, D) and MEF (C, E) cells were measured using the WST-1 assay. n = 6 (three experiments repeated twice). Groups without UVB exposure [UVB (−) control] was normalized to 100%. n = 6 (three experiments repeated twice); *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, significantly better as compared with UVB (+) groups; ^# P < 0.05, ^## P < 0.01, significantly worse as compared with Film + 100-nm NDs” groups. Data are mean ± SD. The 10-min groups in (D) and (E) are adoptive from 2 mg/cm² groups in (B) and (C), respectively.
