Facile synthesis of highly uniform selenium nanoparticles using glucose as the reductant and surface decorator to induce cancer cell apoptosis

Abstract

Herein, we demonstrated a new and facial synthesis of highly uniformed SeNPs using glucose as the reductant and surface decorator. Glu–SeNPs induced cancer cell apoptosisviainduction of apoptosis by triggering intracellular ROS overproduction and mitochondrial dysfunction.
