Molecular application of aptamers in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and communicable diseases
(MDPI, 2018)
Cancer and infectious diseases such as Ebola, HIV, tuberculosis, Zika, hepatitis, measles
and human schistosomiasis are serious global health hazards. The increasing annual morbidities
and mortalities of these diseases ...
Inhibition of bacteria associated with wound infection by biocompatible green synthesized gold nanoparticles from South African plant extracts
(MDPI, 2017)
Unlike conventional physical and chemical methods, the biogenic synthesis of gold
nanoparticles (GNPs) is considered a green and non-toxic approach to produce biocompatible
GNPs that can be utilized in various biomedical ...
One-pot synthesis and characterization of InP/ZnSe semiconductor nanocrystals
(Elsevier, 2013)
We report on the one-pot synthesis of InP/ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) using a precursor-based colloidal synthesis in a noncoordinating solvent environment. The structural and optical studies were carried out on the as-prepared ...
Large Scale Screening of Southern African Plant Extracts for the Green Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using Microtitre-Plate Method
(Molecules, 2016-11)
The preparation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) involves a variety of chemical and physical methods. These methods use toxic and environmentally harmful chemicals. Consequently, the synthesis of AuNPs using green chemistry ...
