Oxidative stress contributes to gold nanoparticle-induced cytotoxicity in human tumor cells.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study was to describe the toxicity induced by curcumin in human astrocytoma cell lines. METHODS:The effects induced by curcumin, at 100 µM for 24 h, were evaluated in four astrocytoma cell lines using crystal violet assay and through the evaluation of morphological and ultrastructural c...
