Potential of Marine Algae (Seaweeds) in the Biosynthesis of Nanoparticles and their Biomedical Applications
Keywords:
Marine algae, Antimicrobial Activities, Anticancer, BionanoparticlesAbstract
Since 3000 BC, seaweeds have played an important role in human life due to their nutritional and therapeutic properties. In recent years the ability of seaweeds to biosynthesize nanoparticles has increased their potential in a variety of industrial, agricultural, and medical applications. In this review, we attempted to shed some light on the various traditional applications of seaweeds and the potential of biosynthesized nanoparticles, with a focus on the wide medical applications of biosynthesized nanoparticles in modern life.
