A scientific seminar titled “Biochemical Characteristics of the Effects of Plant-Derived Nanoparticles on Living Systems” was held at the Faculty of Biology of Baku State University (BSU).

During the seminar, Associate Professor Sabina Omarova presented research on the production of plant-derived nanoparticles using green synthesis methods, as well as studies examining their properties and mechanisms of action in various living systems.

The presentation highlighted the findings of experimental studies conducted on unicellular algae, wheat embryos, and fish. The results demonstrated that nanoparticles can exert different effects on the enzymatic components of oxidative stress defense systems in living organisms.

Sabina Omarova also shared the results of research on the effects of silver nanoparticles synthesized from thyme extract on the antioxidant defense mechanisms of different biological systems. She emphasized the significance of these studies from an ecotoxicological perspective and their potential contribution to understanding the environmental impacts of nanomaterials.

The seminar concluded with a question-and-answer session, followed by discussions on future research directions and the practical applications of the findings.
