Comparative in situ ROS mediated killing of bacteria with bulk analogue, Eucalyptus leaf extract (ELE)-capped and bare surface copper oxide nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The greater attachment and internalization of ELE-CuONPs in Gram-positive and -negative biofilm producing clinical bacterial isolates validated the hypothesis that terpenoids encapsulated CuONPs are more stable and effective antibacterial and antibiofilm agent vis-à-vis commercially available nano and micro sized analogues.

Synthesis and characterization of CuO-montmorillonite nanocomposite by thermal decomposition method and antibacterial activity of nanocomposite.

TL;DR: It was found that decrease in the particle size of CuO nanoparticles due to quantum size effect was found, and the antibacterial activity ofCuO-MMT nanocomposite showed efficient bactericidal effect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zinc oxide nanoparticles induce renal toxicity through reactive oxygen species

TL;DR: It could be concluded that ZnO NPs present toxic effect on podocytes and Wistar rats, which was related with oxidative stress.

Probing the Cytotoxicity Of Semiconductor Quantum Dots.

TL;DR: This work found that CdSe-core QDs were indeed acutely toxic under certain conditions and modulated by processing parameters during synthesis, exposure to ultraviolet light, and surface coatings, and suggests that cytotoxicity correlates with the liberation of free Cd2+ ions due to deterioration of the Cd Se lattice.
