An overview of anticancer roles of nanoparticles synthesized by microbes

Abstract

Nanomedicine offers innovative solutions for healthcare, particularly in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Among these, nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by microbes have gained attention for their unique properties and potential applications. This review explores the methods for microbial nanoparticle (NP) synthesis, their physicochemical characteristics, and their role in cancer therapies, such as targeted drug delivery and imaging. By analyzing their advantages, limitations, and biological interactions, we highlight the impact of biologically derived NPs in advancing cancer treatment and discuss their future prospects in nanomedicine.
