Statistical analysis indicated that there might be an individual variability in response to NPs, although more research is required.

• dermal and ocular contact [18]. As AgNPs enter the body through injection or degradation of biomaterials, they are translocated to the circulatory system and can come in direct contact with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) before ultimately being distributed to the main organs where they

• the uptake of nanoparticles is dependent on different factors such as cell type, size or functionalization of nanoparticles [81][82]. Thus, we analyzed the uptake of silver nanoparticles into human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). These cells are host-defense cells and mainly consist of
