Biomedical behaviors of CuO/ γ-alumina/chitosan nanocomposites: Scolicidal and apoptotic effects on hydatid cysts protoscolices

In conclusion, this study suggests that the phytosynthesized CuO/γ-Al2O3 NC and the CuO NPs could be potential candidates for treating echinococcosis by killing the PSCs through apoptosis. Further studies are needed to verify the in vivo efficacy and toxicity of these NMs and to optimize their delivery and targeting systems.PMID:38423424 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130515
