Controlled cellular uptake and drug efficacy of nanotherapeutics
Cellular uptake pathway of nanoparticle (NP) is different from that of free drugs. Therefore, NP-mediated nanotherapeutics can be designed to overcome the adverse effects of free drugs. However, synthetic NPs are typically trapped in the endosome and have difficulty to reach the cytosol because of the characteristic endocytosis, where the endosomal membranes wrap-up the introduced NPs. In this ...
متن کاملCellular Uptake of Drug Nanocrystals
Systemic toxicity and poor solubility of existing chemotherapeutic drugs piqued an interest in the use of nanocrystals for chemotherapy. To increase cytotoxicity, surface coating of nanocrystals is of interest to enhance tumor targeting and reduce treatment toxicity. As such, we tested in this project various coated paclitaxel nanocrystals on cancer cells for determining the efficacy of surface...
متن کاملNanotherapeutics in angiogenesis: synthesis and in vivo assessment of drug efficacy and biocompatibility in zebrafish embryos
BACKGROUND Carbon nanotubes have shown broad potential in biomedical applications, given their unique mechanical, optical, and chemical properties. In this pilot study, carbon nanotubes have been explored as multimodal drug delivery vectors that facilitate antiangiogenic therapy in zebrafish embryos. METHODS Three different agents, ie, an antiangiogenic binding site (cyclic arginine-glycin-ea...
متن کاملHeterogeneous cellular drug uptake in chemotherapy
Cells are the building blocks of life. As an individual, cells behavior variedly in the population. Cellular drug uptake is heterogeneous and cells respond differently to treatment for cancer and other diseases. It’s significant to recognize and detect heterogeneous drug uptake and interpret its effects on chemotherapy or other diseases treatment. In this brief review, we discuss the current pr...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
