Change in arginase activity (A,D), the quantity of nitrite ions (B,E), and malondialdehyde (C,F) in A549 and Hela cells under the influence of silver nanoparticles and royal jelly. Each condition was added to five different passages in triplicate (n = 5, *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001, **** p ≤ 0.0001).

... Metal nanoparticles have become integral to advancements in nanotechnology, driven by their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties [1]. Among these, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are particularly renowned for their potent antibacterial and antifungal activities, making them highly valuable in various applications [2]. Metals such as gold, silver, copper, and zinc are commonly used to synthesize nanoparticles. ...
... The cytotoxicity is possibly due to the ability of Ag-NPs to induce oxidative stress, thus leading to apoptosis through mitochondrial damage and the activation of apoptotic pathways. The anticancer potential of green-synthesized Ag-NPs was also shown in other studies [2]. ...
... Among all noble metal NPs, Ag-NPs occupy a special place due to their unique properties, such as chemical stability, good conductivity, catalytic potential, and, most importantly, remarkable antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities. Hence, our findings align with previous reports which highlighted the dual antimicrobial and anticancer properties of green-synthesized Ag-NPs [2,21,22]. ...

This study focuses on a simple, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly method for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Dicranum scoparium moss extract. It includes the characterization of the biosynthesized nanoparticles and an evaluation of their antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activities. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses confirmed that the biosynthesized silver nanoparticles were within the nanoscale range (50–100 nm) and exhibited an irregular morphology. The biogenic nanoparticles demonstrate antibacterial activity against bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus mesentericus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The results indicate a pronounced antibacterial activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa compared to the tested Gram-positive bacteria, which is attributed to differences in the bacterial cell wall structure. Additionally, the green synthesized silver nanoparticles inhibited the growth of Mucor plumber, Geotrichum candidum, Cladosporium herbarum, and Aspergillus flavus mold fungi. Additionally, they expressed considerable cytotoxic properties against cancer cells.
