Citrate silver nanoparticles modulate estrogen signaling in estradiol-supplemented ER-positive breast cancer cells
Our results suggest that the surface chemistry of silver nanoparticles may facilitate their ability to modulate estrogen signaling and interact with the estrogen receptor. Furthermore, the nanoplastics pollution may influence the cytotoxicity of silver nanoparticles. This paper highlights the importance of endocrine research in breast cancer, particularly within the context of nanoplastics pollution and the use of nanotechnology in breast cancer treatment.
