Led by Fernando Pesantez Torres, this study used ECIS to track how NIH 3T3 fibroblasts and bEnd3 endothelial cells respond to SMA nanoparticles in real time.
🧪 Negligible cytotoxicity at all doses
🛡️ High NP levels slightly slowed barrier formation
🔄 Medium change restored barrier function at low doses; high doses remained reduced, likely from NP attachment
The results underscore ECIS as a powerful platform for monitoring cell behavior and guiding the safe design of oxygen-sensitive nanomaterials for biomedical use.
