Hybrid metal-organic nanoflowers and their application in biotechnology and medicine

Antibacterial and antibiofilm activities of silver-decorated zinc ferrite nanoparticles synthesized by a gamma irradiation-coupled sol–gel method against some pathogenic bacteria from medical operating room surfaces

“…20 On the other hand, metal NPs have extraordinary usage in various elds, like electronics, 21 water purication, 22 medicine, 23 and biotechnology. 24 Amongst NPs applied so far, silver (Ag) NPs have been notably examined for their unique features such as antibacterial, 25 antiviral, 26 antifungal, 27 anti-inammatory, 28 and anticancer 29,30 activities.…”

In-vitro anticancer activity against Caco-2 cell line of colloidal nano silver synthesized using aqueous extract of Eucalyptus Camaldulensis leaves

“…Caco-2 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 50 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin and 2mM Lglutamine. The cells were plated in 96-well plates at a density 2Â10 4 cells/well and allowed to adhere overnight at 37 C (95 % humidity, 5% CO2). Cultures were examined using an inverted microscope to evaluate the quality of confluence and confirming the absence of bacterial and fungal contaminants.…”

“…Nanotechnology has the potential to improve current approaches while reducing toxicity and negative effects associated with traditional treatments. Metal nanoparticles have a significant increase in usage in various fields, like electronics [ 1 ], catalyst [ 2 ], medicine [ 3 ] and biotechnology [ 4 ]. Silver nanoparticles are widely used in many fields especially at medical and health fields [ 5 ] because of their unique physicochemical, and biological therapeutic properties as antibacterial [ 6 , 7 , 8 ] antiviral [ 9 ], antifungal [ 10 ], anti-inflammatory [ 11 , 12 ] and anticancer [ 13 , 14 ].…”

DNA Based and Stimuli-Responsive Smart Nanocarrier for Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer: Applications and Challenges

“…This system included both non-stimuli responsive and stimuli responsive nanocarrier systems, which are commonly constructed, based on the change DNA configuration [ 50 ]. Present literature mentioned that nanoflower inorganic nanoparticles have a spherical shape and increased the concentration of drug at the malignant site [ 50 , 51 ]. They developed AS1411/magnetic nanoparticles for targeted TMPyP4 delivery in this type of non-stimuli inorganic nanoparticle method.…”
