Exosomes as nanocarriers for siRNA delivery: paradigms and challenges
Exosomes are nano-sized vesicles that facilitate intercellular communications through carrying genetic materials and functional biomolecules. Owing to their unique size and structure, exosomes have emerged as a useful tool to overcome the limitations of siRNA delivery. The use of exosomes as siRNA delivery vehicles lacks certain disadvantages of the existing foreign delivery systems such as vir...
متن کاملChitosan and Its Derivatives for Drug Delivery Perspective
Biopolymers are promising materials in the delivery of protein drugs due to their compatibility, degradation behavior, and nontoxic nature on administration. On suitable chemical modification, these polymers can provide better materials for drug delivery systems. Nanostructured drug carriers allow the delivery of not only small-molecule drugs but also of nucleic acids and proteins. The use of b...
متن کاملThiol-functionalized mesoporous silica as nanocarriers for anticancer drug delivery
The present study deals with the synthesis andfunctionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles as drug delivery platforms. SBA-15 nanorods with high surface area (1010 m2g-1) were functionalized by post grafting method using 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane (MPTS). The parent and thiol-functionalized SBA-15 nanorods were used as nanocarriers for an anticancer drug (gemcitabine). The charac...

متن کاملNanocarriers for siRNA Therapy
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) therapy has opened exceptional advantageous opportunity for the treatment of diseases. Usually naked siRNA are subjected to internal harsh environment and rapidly degraded by RNases after administration. To overcome this issue various nanodelivery platforms have been developed and utilized in drug delivery due to narrowed size distribution, improved bioavailabili...
