متن کاملMolecular toxicity mechanism of nanosilver.
Silver is an ancient antibiotic that has found many new uses due to its unique properties on the nanoscale. Due to its presence in many consumer products, the toxicity of nanosilver has become a hot topic. This review summarizes recent advances, particularly the molecular mechanism of nanosilver toxicity. The surface of nanosilver can easily be oxidized by O(2) and other molecules in the enviro...
متن کاملNovel microfilaricidal activity of nanosilver
PURPOSE The currently available drug repertoire against lymphatic filariasis, a major health hazard in the developing world, is inadequate and is fraught with serious limitations. Thus, the development of an effective antifilarial strategy has become a global research thrust mandated by the World Health Organization. Nanoparticles of silver endowed with antibacterial potency are known to induce...
متن کاملPlasmonic biosensors with biocompatible nanosilver
The plasmonic properties of noble metal nanoparticles facilitate their use in novel in-vivo bio-applications such as targeted drug delivery and cancer cell therapy. Nanosilver is best suited for such applications as it has the lowest plasmonic losses among all such materials in the UVvisible spectrum. Its toxicity, however, can destroy the surrounding healthy tissue and thus, hinders its safe e...
متن کاملNanosilver: Weighing the Risks and Benefits
Silver nanoparticles are added to a variety of textiles and home goods as an antimicrobial. Although silver has been used safely for centuries, some question whether the rapid expansion of new exposure sources to nanosilver could have adverse consequences.
