Increase in gold nanoparticles can accelerate aging and
wrinkling, slow wound healing, cause onset of diabetes
New research reveals that pure gold nanoparticles found in
everyday items such as personal care products, as well as drug delivery, MRI
contrast agents and solar cells can inhibit adipose (fat) storage and lead to
accelerated aging and wrinkling, slowed wound healing and the onset of
diabetes. The researchers, led by Tatsiana Mironava, a visiting assistant
professor in the Department of Chemical and Molecular Engineering at Stony
Brook University, detail their research, “Gold nanoparticles cellular toxicity
and recovery: Adipose Derived Stromal cells,” in the journal Nanotoxicology.
