Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles and Their Roles in the Biomedical Field: A Review
Abstract
Developing novel antibiotics, traditional pharmaceuticals, and chemically altered drugs addresses medical concerns and underscores the need for sustained and productive implementation of metallic nanotechnology across various domains. Nanoparticles (NPs) present a range of advantages over bulk particles due to their targeting capabilities, wound repair characteristics, capacity for biocomposite preparation, and potential as a gene and drug delivery system. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have garnered significant interest among researchers as a result of their exceptional conductivity, chemical stability, catalytic behavior, and antimicrobial properties compared with other metal NPs. This study aims to provide a basic understanding of AgNPs and their functions in biomedical research.
