Nano-silver triggers apoptosis through the mitochondria-dependent pathway in the gills of common carp

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate how nano-silver causes cell death in the gills of common carp.
• Induced exposure to nano-silver in common carp
• Analyzed reactive oxygen species (ROS) production
• Examined the activation of the MAPK pathway
• Nano-silver led to increased ROS production in gills
• MAPK pathway activation was observed
• Mitochondria-dependent apoptosis was confirmed through cellular assays
