Susceptible genes regulate the adverse effects of TiO2-NPs at predicted environmental relevant concentrations on nematode Caenorhabditis elegans

Mutations of sod-2, sod-3, mtl-2, or hsp-16.48 gene caused the more severe toxicity of TiO2-NPs on nematodes by influencing intestinal permeability and uptake of TiO2-NPs into the body.115
