GFASS analysis of iron NPs accumulation in C. elegans. Synchronized worms (n ~3000) were treated with 100 μg/mL of unconjugated MYTS, MYTS-PEG or MYTS-EDBE and incubated for 30 h at 20 °C. Each value was obtained by subtracting the value of the control sample (incubated with no addition). Data are expressed as the mean of three independent experiments ± standard error (SE). ** p < 0.01 vs. MYTS was calculated by Student’s t-test.
