Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignancy among women globally and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Consequently, there is an urgent need for new, effective treatment strategies for breast cancer. Research has shown that the enzyme nudix hydrolase 5 (NUDT5) plays a critical role in promoting breast cancer aggressiveness and serves as a key regulator of oncogenic pathways.

The current research is concerned with the synthesis of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles (NPs) from L. bark extract via the green chemistry method. The synthesized MgO NPs was confirmed by using several characterization methods like XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and UV-visible analysis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTriple-negative breast cancer is the most potent metastatic type of breast cancer that can spread to other body parts. Chemotherapy and surgical intervention are the sole treatments for TNBC, owing to the scarcity of therapeutic targets. Manipulation of the membranes as per the desired targets of exosomes has recently gained much attention as a drug delivery method.

The MTT assay was used to examine the cytotoxicity activity against lung epithelial and breast cell lines, and the IC value was determined. The presence of ZnO nanoparticles, which range in size from 200 to 800 nm, was confirmed by the absorption peak at 350 nm.

The present study reported an biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous leaf extract. On this basis, the aqueous leaf extract of acted as a reducing agent and stabilizing agent to synthesize highly stable AgNPs at ambient temperature.
