Molybdenum disulfide induces growth inhibition and autophagy-dependent hepatocyte cell death through directly binding and regulating the activity of MST2.

Collectively, this study provides a foundation for a comprehensive understanding of the biological behavior and hepatotoxicity of MoS 2, offering valuable insights for the safety assessment of nanomaterials and the rational design of future nanomedicines.

Countstar (model not specified) provided the instrument readout for cell numbers in the study's cell samples during growth assessment for the reported research.
