An Efficient 3D Cell Culture Method on Biomimetic Nanostructured Grids
Current techniques of in vitro cell cultures are able to mimic the in vivo environment only to a limited extent, as they enable cells to grow only in two dimensions. Therefore cell culture approaches should rely on scaffolds that provide support comparable to the extracellular matrix. Here we demonstrate the advantages of novel nanostructured three-dimensional grids fabricated using electro-spi...
متن کاملPolymeric nanocarrier systems for photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging treatment modality that involves the combined action of photosensitizers (PSs) and light for treatment of solid tumor and other diseases. Although this therapeutic method has been considered as an alternative to classical cancer treatments, clinical PDT requires further advances in selectivity and therapeutic efficacy to overcome numerous shortages rela...
متن کاملPolymeric photosensitizer prodrugs for photodynamic therapy.
A targeting strategy based on the selective enzyme-mediated activation of polymeric photosensitizer prodrugs (PPP) within pathological tissue has led to the development of agents with the dual ability to detect and treat cancer. Herein, a detailed study of a simple model system for these prodrugs is described. We prepared "first-generation" PPP by directly tethering the photosensitizer (PS) phe...
متن کاملCell Death Pathways and Phthalocyanine as an Efficient Agent for Photodynamic Cancer Therapy
The mechanisms of cell death can be predetermined (programmed) or not and categorized into apoptotic, autophagic and necrotic pathways. The process of Hayflick limits completes the execution of death-related mechanisms. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are associated with oxidative stress and subsequent cytodamage by oxidizing and degrading cell components. ROS are also involved in immune response...
متن کاملA facile strategy to generate polymeric nanoparticles for synergistic chemo-photodynamic therapy.
Synergistic therapy is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. A nanoparticle with chemo-photodynamic properties was fabricated via π-π stacking interactions between the drug and photosensitizer. It exhibited efficient anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo.
