Green synthesis of selenium nanoparticles using <i>Cordia myxa</i> extract and assessment of their cytotoxic and antioxidant properties.
The findings indicate that Se-NPs exhibit anticancer activity against Huh-7 cells, as evidenced by the upregulation of <i>Bax, p53, and Caspase3 gene</i> expression. Therefore, it can be asserted that Se-NPs have the potential to eliminate cancer cells, while simultaneously providing a protective effect on normal cells.
