Cytotoxicity of the silver nanoparticle in plants and animals and its mechanism (a) Accumulation and penetration of AgNPs in different organs including the blood–brain barrier; (b) uptake, translocation, and major phytotoxicity of AgNPs in the plant (image adapted and modified from [205]); and (c) possible cytotoxicity molecular mechanism induced by AgNPs. Autophagosome is strongly linked with the protein corona formation for uptake of AgNPs in the cell (Image adapted and modified from [206]).
