Unmodified titania (TiO2) nanoparticles (so-called first-generation NPs) represent a material that
with higher concentration of palladium appear to be more cytotoxic. It is worth noting that a general understanding of the factors that play a prevailing role in the toxicity of second-generationnanoparticles is crucial to establish the mechanism of their toxicity. The overall results of this study
