Characterization and endocytosis of SiNPs. a and b, TEM images of SiNP-20 and SiNP-100. c, hydrodynamic diameters of SiNP-20 and SiNP-100 respectively in water and culture medium. d, zeta potentials of SiNP-20 and SiNP-100 respectively in water and culture medium. e, f, and g, TEM images showing the internalization of SiNP-20 and SiNP-100 in cultured HUVECs after exposure for 24 h. Control (e), before exposure to SiNPs. Note that the endocytosed SiNP-20 (red arrows) (f) and SiNP-100 (blue arrows) (g) were presented inside cell vesicles
