Researchers at University of Udine Report Research in Nanoparticles (Chitosan biomineralized with ions-doped nano-hydroxyapatite tunes osteoblasts metabolism and DNA damage).

Researchers at the University of Udine have conducted a study on nanoparticles, specifically focusing on chitosan biomineralized with ions-doped nano-hydroxyapatite and its impact on osteoblasts metabolism and DNA damage. The research found that the nanoparticles enhanced cell metabolism but partially limited cell proliferation, while also promoting DNA damage. The study suggests that chitosan may play a role in modulating the biological activity of nanoparticles and highlights the potential implications for using HA-based particles in biomaterials, including in anticancer treatments.
