Iraqiresearchers have co-authored a new international study examining how zinc oxidenanoparticles could be applied in cancer treatment and other medical uses,according to the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals on Tuesday.
Titled “Theanticancer, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties of zinc oxidenanoparticles: A comprehensive review,” the study was conducted by the Ibnal-Bitar Research Center under the Iraqi Industrial Research and DevelopmentAuthority. It appeared in TransMed, a journal published by KeAi and indexed inScopus in the second quartile (Q2).
Researchersexplored synthesis and analytical methods used for zinc oxide nanoparticles,focusing on their distinct physical and chemical properties that strengthentheir relevance in nanomedicine. The paper also points to particle size andshape as key factors shaping biological behavior and therapeutic performance,indicating possible applications in cancer research, oxidative stressmanagement, and infection control.
‘’Thepublication is part of broader efforts to expand applied scientific researchand deepen cooperation with international academic institutions,’’ theAuthority added, noting that the findings carry “significant implications” forboth industrial development and health-related applications.
