Green-synthesized silver nanoparticles with aqueous extract of green algae Chaetomorpha ligustica and its anticancer potential

Marine green algae are rich in various bioactive components with known anticancer activity. Some anticancer drugs present in green algae are in clinical trials nowadays. Algae-mediated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been of a great interest in cancer treatment due to their unique physico-chemical...
