Mesembryanthemum crystallinum -guided green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles with selective anticancer activity via ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction

Findings establish M. crystallinum as an ecologically sustainable nanofactory whose stress-adapted metabolome directs the formation of selectively cytotoxic ZnO-NPs acting through ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction, a paradigm for designing plant-guided nanotherapeutics with defined molecular mechanisms.
