Overall, the work supports Agave americana-derived silver nanoparticles as a promising platform for antimicrobial and anticancer applications, while future studies should focus on mechanistic con rmation, biosafety, and translational evaluation. However, the study is limited by the absence of direct reactive oxygen species quanti cation, apoptosis-marker analysis, and in vivo validation, so the proposed mechanisms should be interpreted as preliminary.
