Developmental exposure to silver nanoparticles leads to long term gut dysbiosis and neurobehavioral alterations

Abstract Due to their antimicrobial properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are used in a wide range of consumer products that includes topical wound dressings, coatings for biomedical devices, and food-packaging to extend the shelf-life. Despite their beneficial antimicrobial effects, developmenta...
