Cytotoxicity and Antibacterial Characteristics of Graphene-Oxide Nanosheets Toward Human Pathogens.

Nanomaterials show great opportunities in the development of electronics, biosensors, chemical and industrial applications. In this article, we are reporting the cytotoxicity and antibacterial characteristics of graphene-oxide (GO) nanosheets toward selected human pathogens. GO is prepared by using modified Hummers method.

NF-κB activation and proinflammatory cytokines mediated protective effect of Indigofera caerulea Roxb. on CCl4 induced liver damage in rats.

Indigofera caerulea Roxb. is a well known shrub among native medical practitioners in folk medicine used for the treatment of jaundice, epilepsy, night blindness and snake bites. It is also reported to have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.
