Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Andrea Cristina Staicu"
- Andrea Cristina Staicu's research primarily focuses on the biocompatibility and toxicity of silicon-based quantum dots (QDs) in aquatic organisms, particularly carp species, investigating their potential biomedical applications while highlighting the risks associated with their accumulation in biological tissues.
- Her studies reveal that silicon/SiO2 QDs can cause notable oxidative stress and cellular damage in carp liver, indicating that even less toxic alternatives to heavy metal-based QDs can still pose significant biological risks upon accumulation.
- The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive assessments of nanoparticle interactions with living organisms to better understand the underlying mechanisms of toxicity and to inform safer biomedical uses of nanomaterials.
