- Nanoparticles (NPs) can have adverse effects on human health, and, in particular, on female reproductive performances. Literature data have shown that NPs can enter the ovary, uterus, and placenta, causing dramatic effects on fetus health. However, NPs can also be used for therapeutic purposes and can be promising tools to preserve fertility. Here, we briefly summarize the toxic effects on female fertility exerted by a particular class of NPs, the metal NPs, because of their wide diffusion. At the same time, we highlighted the attempts to use them as new molecular approaches for ovarian cancer and infertility.
