Design, challenge, and promise of stimuli-responsive nanoantibiotics
Over the past few years, there have been calls for novel antimicrobials to combat the rise of drug-resistant bacteria. While some promising new discoveries have met this call, it is not nearly enough. The major problem is that although these new promising antimicrobials serve as a short-term solution, they lack the potential to provide a long-term solution. The conventional method of creating n...
متن کاملChallenge and promise
We are witnessing an unprecedented and rapid expansion in the elderly populations of the developed and developing worlds. The effects of age-related frailty, disability, and disease combine to present an immense and growing cost to society in terms of health and social service expenditure, impaired quality of life, and physical and emotional suffering. Research that can lead to novel interventi...
متن کاملStimuli-responsive Biosynthesis of Gold Nanoparticles: Optimization, Kinetics, and Thermodynamics of Biosorption
Green nanotechnology with the goal of producing sustainable nanomaterials in an eco-friendly approach is becoming an increasing necessity for nanomanufacturing industries. In this regards, biosynthesis is well adopted as a viable method for producing benign nanoparticles for biomedical application. The present study aimed at optimization and study of the effects of external stimuli pH and gold ...
متن کاملState of the art of stimuli-responsive liposomes for cancer therapy
Specific delivery of therapeutic agents to solid tumors and their bioavailability at the target site are the most clinically important and challenging goals in cancer therapy. Liposomes are promising nanocarriers and have been well investigated for cancer therapy. In spite of preferred accumulation in tumors via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, inefficient drug release at t...
متن کاملStimuli-responsive smart gels realized via modular protein design.
Smart gels have a variety of applications, including tissue engineering and controlled drug delivery. Here we present a modular, bottom-up approach that permits the creation of protein-based smart gels with encoded morphology, functionality, and responsiveness to external stimuli. The properties of these gels are encoded by the proteins from which they are synthesized. In particular, the streng...
