Abstract:Selenium is one of these micronutrients that are essential for animals, plants and microorganisms to remain functional. This review is about the green synthesis of selenium nanoparticles and its application in microbial and cancer therapies. Our hypothesis was that Se NPs produced using plant extracts might offer the biocompatibility and environmental friendliness advantages, and hence be a new prospect for medical applications. To test our hypothesis, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of recent literature… Show more
