In vivo biodistribution and toxicity depends on nanomaterial composition, size, surface functionalisation and route of exposure

In this study, researchers subjected embryonic zebrafish to a wide variety of manufactured nanomaterials to test how chemical composition, size, surface functionalisation, and route of exposure on nanomaterial-biological interactions to see what kinds of nanomaterials are bioactive, and which are not. The results of this show that this model of testing is an effective model to assess the biological activity and toxic potential of nanomaterials in a short period of time with minimal cost.
