Article Synopsis
- Biosynthetic gold nanoparticles (bAuNPs) offer a safer and more sustainable alternative to traditional production methods by reducing hazardous chemicals, with potential applications in cancer treatment.
- This study focuses on optimizing conditions for bAuNP production, such as growth phase, temperature, pH, and incubation time, and uses DCIP as a redox indicator.
- Results show that bAuNPs produced under specific conditions (9 h/OD600 = 1, pH 9.0, 24 h at 58 °C) are smaller and less aggregated, displaying little toxicity to healthy cells but significantly reducing viability and migration in cancer cells.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted daily life, impacting relationships, work, and education. This has led to increased stress, anxiety, and depression, along with altered sleep patterns and eating behaviors. Quarantine and isolation have worsened mental health, especially in children and the elderly, due to the loss of activities and physical contact.
