Abstract
Background: Cancer is a widespread fatal disease associated with the abnormal growth of cells in the body.
Objectives: This article represents applications of biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles and their mode of action in cancer therapy.
Methods: Nanomedicines have been proved to be an effective therapy in the treatment of the disease because of a wide range of applications. Due to the small shape and size, these nanoparticles are emerging to be of novel importance. They are abundantly found in various resources with easy extraction.
Results: Biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles are safe for humans as well as for the environment. They may replace the harmful therapies like chemotherapy, etc. used in cancer treatment due to the severe side effects associated with it. Sometimes patient may die because of the side effects.
Conclusion: These green nanoparticles have great potential to treat and diagnose different cancers. This article laid a research opportunity for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Keywords: Medicinal plants, silver nanoparticles, anticancerous activity, cancer causes, gene therapy, thermal therapy, immunotherapy.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
Role of natural compounds as anti anti-cancer agents
Cancer is considered the leading cause of worldwide mortality, accounting for nearly 10 million deaths in 2022. Cancer outcome can be improved through an appropriate screening and early detection and through an efficient clinical treatment. Chemotherapy remains an important approach in treatment o f several types of cancers, even though ...read more
