Emerging applications of nanoparticles for lung cancer diagnosis and therapy

Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, most of them being active tobacco smokers. Non small cell lung cancer accounts for around 85% to 90% of deaths, whereas the rest is contributed by small cell lung cancer. The extreme lethality of lung cancer arises due to lack of suitable dia...

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of hierarchical three dimensional metal oxide@ CuO nanostructures to

Widening the light harvesting range and suppressing the fast recombination of excited electrons and holes are of paramount significance in the area of photocatalysis. In the present study, we report a two-step method for the synthesis of metal oxide (ZnO and Fe3O4) deposited on CuO nanowire arrays over 3D copper foam us...

A novel one-step synthesis of PEG passivated multicolour fluorescent carbon dots for potential biolab

Poly(ethylene glycol) passivated multicolour fluorescent carbon dots (CPs) were synthesised by a novel one-step method and their biolabeling mechanism was studied using S. aureus and recombinant green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing E. coli as model systems. The mechanism of formation of fluorescent carbon nanorods...

Perturbation of cellular mechanistic system by silver nanoparticle toxicity: Cytotoxic, genotoxic and

Currently the applications of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are gaining overwhelming response due to the advancement of nanotechnology. However, only limited information is available with regard to their toxicity mechanism in different species. It is very essential to understand the complete molecular mechanism to explo...

Antibacterial activity and mechanism of Ag–ZnO nanocomposite on S. aureus and GFP-expressing antibi

Emergence of multi-resistant organisms (MROs) leads to ineffective treatment with the currently available medications which pose a great threat to public health and food technology sectors. In this regard, there is an urgent need to strengthen the present therapies or to look over for other potential alternatives like u...
