A PEG-Fmoc conjugate as a nanocarrier for paclitaxel

synthesis and characterization of linear-dendritic of peg and citric acid as a nanocarrier for tamoxifen

A Simple Method for Synthesis of γ-Aluminum Oxide Nanostructure Using PEG as a Neutral Surfactant

Nano-sized γ-Al2O3 was synthesized successfully by a simple method using Al2(SO4)3·18H2O as aluminium source and in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG 2000). FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of synthesized powder. The results showed that PEG playe...

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles as a Nanocarrier for Delivery of Vitamin C

Background: In the last decades, mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) are improved for drug delivery, imaging, and biomedical applications due to their special properties such as large surface area, high drug loading capacity, tunable pore size, and modification of surface area by functional groups. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate MSNs as carriers for oral colon-specific and...

An immunostimulatory dual-functional nanocarrier that improves cancer immunochemotherapy

Immunochemotherapy combines a chemotherapeutic agent with an immune-modulating agent and represents an attractive approach to improve cancer therapy. However, the success of immunochemotherapy is hampered by the lack of a strategy to effectively co-deliver the two therapeutics to the tumours. Here we report the development of a dual-functional, immunostimulatory nanomicellar carrier that is bas...
