Silver Nanoparticles: Mechanism of Action and Probable Bio-Application

J Funct Biomater. 2020 Nov 26;11(4):84. doi: 10.3390/jfb11040084.

Abstract

This review is devoted to the medical application of silver nanoparticles produced as a result of "green" synthesis using various living organisms (bacteria, fungi, plants). The proposed mechanisms of AgNPs synthesis and the action mechanisms on target cells are highlighted.

Keywords: AgNPs; bio-application; green synthesis; silver nanoparticles.
