Description
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are gaining widespread interest from various corners of the biology community. Of note, they have shown potent antimicrobial and anticancer properties independent of how they are synthesized. The various syntheses for SeNPs, however, are poorly understood and thus the particles themselves are not well characterized. There are two primary concerns: dispersity of the particles in suspensions, and the uniformity of their sizes. Here, we present increasing data that a novel synthesis may solve both issues.
