The development of functionalized metallic nanoparticles for the treatment of brain cancer
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Cancers of the nervous system often result from abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells in nervous tissue. Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) and neuroblastoma (NB) are among the most common nervous system-associated cancers ...
The assessment of the bactericidal effect of green synthesized silver nanoparticles against a panel of infectious microorganisms
(University of the Western Cape, 2016)
The emergence of multiple drug resistant microorganisms poses a major threat to human life. These microorganisms have made the currently used antibiotics ineffective and therefore continue to thrive. Therefore, there is a ...
Screening of natural products and alkylating agents for antineoplastic activity
(2007)
Apoptosis is a process in which a cell programmes its own death. It is a highly organized physiological mechanism in which injured or damaged cells are destroyed. Apart from physiological stimuli however, exogenous factors ...
