Development of nanoparticles derived from corn as mass producible bionanoparticles with anticancer activity

Abstract Recent studies showed that plant-derived nanoparticles (NPs) can be easily produced in high yields and have potential applications as therapeutic agents or delivery carriers for bioactive molecules. In this study, we selected corn as it is inexpensive to grow and mass-produced globally. Sup...
