Biocompatibility Analysis of Bio-Based and Synthetic Silica Nanoparticles during Early Zebrafish Development.

ABSTRACT: During the twenty-first century, engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have attracted rising interest, globally revolutionizing all industrial sectors. The expanding world population and the implementation of new global policies are increasingly pushing society toward a bioeconomy, focused on fostering the adoption of bio-based nanomaterials that are functional, cost-effective, and potentially secure to be implied in different areas, the medical field included. This research was focused on silica nanoparticles (SiO₂-NPs) of bio-based and synthetic origin. SiO₂-NPs are composed of silicon dioxide, the most abundant compound on Earth. Due to their characteristics and biocompatibility, they are widely used in many applications, including the food industry, synthetic processes,
