Novel gold nanoparticles of drought tolerance enabler GYY4137
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Different nanoparticles have the ability to improve plant tolerance to drought stress. In the study we report for the first time novel morpholin-4-ium 4-methoxyphenyl (morpholino) phosphinodithioate capped- gold nanoparticles ...
Antimicrobial, anticancer and catalytic activities of green synthesized Avocado seed extract-gold nanoparticles
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Nature through billions of years of trial and error has produced an immeasurable amount of
natural systems like plants, birds and animals. The intelligence of nature is hidden in these
natural systems and researchers are ...
Peptide functionalised gold nanorods for the selective eradication of target cells using photothermal therapy
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death, worldwide. Mortality tolls are estimated to reach approximately 13.1 million in 2030. These statistics suggest that current therapeutic strategies are not effective. This is ...
Biogenic synthesis of gold nanoparticles using red and green pear fruit extracts
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
There has been a growing interest in the design of biocompatible and environmentally affable nanoparticles (NPs) among scientists to develop novel and safe biomaterials for use in various biomedical applications. This can ...
