Christos G. Athanassiou,Nickolas G. Kavallieratos,Giovanni Benelli,Giovanni Benelli,Dusan Losic,P. Usha Rani,Nicolas Desneux +6 more
TL;DR: Several types of NPs are produced by natural resource-based substances, which make them promising “green” alternatives to the use of traditional pest control agents, and some NPs can be used successfully as insecticides alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofabrication of zinc oxide nanoparticles using fruit extract of Rosa canina and their toxic potential against bacteria: A mechanistic approach
TL;DR: The antibacterial activity of as-prepared ZnONPs was investigated against several bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and more.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green synthesized nanoparticles in the fight against mosquito-borne diseases and cancer-a brief review.
TL;DR: The current knowledge available about green synthesized nanoparticles with efficacy against mosquito-borne diseases and cancer is focused on, with special reference to the chemical standardization of the botanical extracts used for nanosynthesis and the potential effects on green fabricated nanoparticles on non-target organisms.

Rapid colorimetric assay for cellular growth and survival: Application to proliferation and cytotoxicity assays
TL;DR: A tetrazolium salt has been used to develop a quantitative colorimetric assay for mammalian cell survival and proliferation and is used to measure proliferative lymphokines, mitogen stimulations and complement-mediated lysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method of computing the effectiveness of an insecticide
TL;DR: In order to make experimental studies comparable and statistically meaningful, the article recommends the following formula: per cent control = 100(X - Y)/X, which eliminates errors due to deaths in the control sample which were not due to the insecticide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer nanotechnology: opportunities and challenges.
TL;DR: Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field, which covers a vast and diverse array of devices derived from engineering, biology, physics and chemistry that can provide essential breakthroughs in the fight against cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Plasmon Spectroscopy of Nanosized Metal Particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of optical measurements to monitor electrochemical changes on the surface of nanosized metal particles is discussed within the Drude model, and the absorption spectrum of a metal sol in water is shown to be strongly affected by cathodic or anodic polarization, chemisorption, metal adatom deposition, and alloying.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytotoxicity and Genotoxicity of Silver Nanoparticles in Human Cells
TL;DR: A possible mechanism of toxicity is proposed which involves disruption of the mitochondrial respiratory chain by Ag-np leading to production of ROS and interruption of ATP synthesis, which in turn cause DNA damage.
