An Assessment of the Effect of Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles Using Sage Leaves ( L.) on Germinated Plants of Maize ( L.).

AgNPs have attracted considerable attention in many applications including industrial use, and their antibacterial properties have been widely investigated. Due to the green synthesis process employed, the nanoparticle surface can be coated with molecules with biologically important characteristics. It has been reported that increased use of nanoparticles elevates the risk of their release into the environment.

Nanoparticle-Modified Apoferritin Nanotransfer for Targeted Cytostatic Transport.

Background: Ferritin is a globular intracellular protein that acts as the main reservoir for iron. Malignancies are associated with increased plasma ferritin concentrations. A number of studies show that tumor cells express high levels of transferrin receptors (TfR).
