In order to understand the ifluence of nanoscale materials and complex biological systems, it is first important to consider that happens at the cellular level. We therefore investigated the effects of reactive nanoparticels, TiO2 inert nanoparticles, gold and functionalized clays. We found that clays were in fact beneficial to cell growth and proliferations, while coinage metal nanoparticles always had a deleterious effect which affect cell function.
