ChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 11, Issue 6, December 2024.When it comes to finding novel ways to battle newly developing pathogenic strains and illnesses, nanoparticles are the first line of defense. Plant‐based nanoparticles are showing more significance over chemically or physically synthesized nanoparticles. Several plant species and their constituent parts have found several applications in medicine. They
