Ellipsoidal Polyaspartamide Polymersomes with Enhanced Cell-Targeting Ability.
Nano-sized polymersomes functionalized with peptides or proteins are being increasingly studied for targeted delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic molecules. Earlier computational studies have suggested that ellipsoidal nanoparticles, compared to spherical ones, display enhanced binding efficiency with target cells, but this has not yet been experimentally validated. We hypothesize that hydrop...
متن کاملPaclitaxel-Loaded Polymersomes for Enhanced Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis is present in more than 60% of gastric cancer, 40% of ovarian cancer, and 35% of colon cancer patients. It is the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality, with a median survival of 1 to 3 months. Cytoreductive surgery combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy is the current clinical treatment, but achieving curative drug accumulation and penetration in pe...
متن کاملEnhanced Forward Scattering of Ellipsoidal Dielectric Nanoparticles
Dielectric nanoparticles can demonstrate a strong forward scattering at visible and near-infrared wavelengths due to the interaction of optically induced electric and magnetic dipolar resonances. For a spherical nanoparticle, the first Kerker's condition within dipole approximation can be realized, where backward scattering can reach zero. However, for this type of dielectric sphere, maximum fo...
متن کاملmiR-542-3p overexpression is associated with enhanced osteosarcoma cell proliferation and migration ability by targeting Van Gogh-like 2
Osteosarcoma is the most common histological form of primary bone cancer, which arises from osteoid tissue. It occurs predominantly in infants and adolescents, with an incidence of 4‑5 cases/100,000,000. The 5-year survival rate of patients with osteosarcoma has significantly improved over time; however, there remains a significant proportion of patients that respond poorly to chemotherapy. An ...
متن کاملPolymersomes.
Polymersomes are self-assembled polymer shells composed of block copolymer amphiphiles. These synthetic amphiphiles have amphiphilicity similar to lipids, but they have much larger molecular weights, so for this reason--along with others reviewed here--comparisons of polymersomes with viral capsids composed of large polypeptide chains are highly appropriate. We summarize the wide range of polym...
