A Represents that the mitochondrial membrane permeability of Cordyceps militaris extract synthesized Au NPs, B effect of Au NPs from C. militaris induces apoptotic morphological changes in HepG2 cells. Green fluorescence labeling revealed that apoptosis had not occurred in the untreated cells. Orange fluorescence staining in HepG2 cells at 10 mg and 12.5 µg/mL shows that the Au NPs treatment dramatically boosted the apoptotic cells. C anticancer activity of various concentrations of synthesized Ag NPs synthesized using Punica granatum leaves against the liver cancer cell line—HepG2, and D cytotoxic effects of biosynthesized ZnO NPs using Artemisia scoparia leaf extract against Huh-7 liver cancer cells (under copyright (CC BY) from Taylor and Francis online)
