Study of Biological Behavior and Antimicrobial Properties of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: An element that has gained much attention in industrial and biomedical fields is Cerium (Ce). CeO₂ nanoparticles have been proven to be promising regarding their different biomedical applications for the control of infection and inflammation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the biological properties and antimicrobial behavior of cerium oxide (CeO₂) nanoparticles (NPs). (2) Methods: The investigation of the NPs' biocompatibility with human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) was evaluated via the MTT assay. Measurement of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and alizarine red staining (ARS) were used as markers in the investigation of CeO₂ NPs' capacity to induce the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs. Induced inflammatory stre
