Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles and miR34a mimics mediated activation of death receptor in MCF-7 human breast cancer cell lines
In this study, green-derived silver nanoparticles were synthesized by using leaf extract ofLitchi chinensis. Characterization of biosynthesized silver nanoparticles was performed by using UV –Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, EDS, and SEM analysis. The clinical application of green-drive nanoparticles was investigated by using MCF-7 cancer cell lines. MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines were analyzed against three different treatments. (i) Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), (ii) miR34a mimics and (i ii) Co-delivery of AgNPs and miR34a mimics. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay and, extraction of mRNA and cDNA synthesis were per...

AuNPs and 2D functional nanomaterial-assisted SPR development for the cancer detection: a critical review
AbstractCancer ranks as a leading cause of death and a huge obstacle to rising life expectancy. If cancers are spotted early there's a high chance of survival. The conventional methods relying on the phenotypic features of the tumor are not powerful to the early screening of cancer. Cancer biomarkers are capable of indicating specific cancer states. Current biochemical assay suffers from time and reagents consuming and discontinuous monitoring. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR)  technology, a refractive index-based optical biosensor, has significant promise in biomarker detection because of its outstanding features of label...

Using green biosynthesized kaempferol-coated sliver nanoparticles to inhibit cancer cells growth: an in vitro study using hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2)
AbstractThe ongoing loss of human life owing to various forms of cancer necessitates the development of a more effective/honorable therapeutic approach. Moreover, finding a novel green-synthesized anti-cancer therapy is vital because of the induced drug resistance against the commonly used drugs. Collecting the advantage of the nanometer size of nanoparticles with the biosafety of plant-based substances might potentiate the anticancer effect with minimal toxic effect. In the current study, we aimed to green-synthesize using kaempferol (flavonoid) as a coating the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and investigated their anti-can...

Small tumour microparticle enhances drug delivery efficiency and therapeutic antitumour efficacy
ConclusionsThe present data demonstrate that the SMPs had a higher cumulative concentration in tumour tissue, and the tumour suppressive effect was also significantly better than that of LMPs. It provides important process parameters for the drug-loaded vesicle delivery system. Future works will aim to expand production scale and improve the separation and purification process of the microparticles. Although the research and application of drug-loaded vesicles derived from tumour cells is still in its infancy, it has broad prospects for tumour therapy. (Source: Cancer Nanotechnology)
