Predictive value of in vitro assays depends on the mechanism of toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles

BACKGROUND: Hazard identification for risk assessment of nanoparticles (NPs) is mainly composed of in vitro cell-based assays and in vivo animal experimentation. The rapidly increasing number and functionalizations of NPs makes in vivo toxicity tests undesirable on both ethical and financial grounds...
