متن کاملTumor Vasculature Targeted Photodynamic Therapy for Enhanced Delivery of Nanoparticles
Delivery of nanoparticle drugs to tumors relies heavily on the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. While many consider the effect to be equally effective on all tumors, it varies drastically among the tumors' origins, stages, and organs, owing much to differences in vessel leakiness. Suboptimal EPR effect represents a major problem in the translation of nanomedicine to the clinic....
متن کاملEGFR-targeted photodynamic therapy by curcumin-encapsulated chitosan/TPP nanoparticles
Background Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective therapy for cancers and is a minimally invasive therapy with low dark toxicity and limited side effects. PDT employs the combination of photosensitizers with a specific light source to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) to damage tumor cells. Methods We fabricated nanoparticles encapsulating curcumin through crosslinking chitosan and tr...
متن کاملTruncated Hepatitis B virus like nanoparticles: A novel drug delivery platform for cancer therapy
Nowadays, Nano-sized drug delivery systems have been studied extensively for theirpotential in cancer therapy. Various drug nanocarriers are being developed including liposomes, micelles, and Virus like nanoparticles (VLNPs). VLNPs offer many advantages for developing smart drug delivery systems due to their precise and repeated structures and relatively large cargo capacities. Truncated ...
متن کاملVirus‐like particles: Next‐generation nanoparticles for targeted therapeutic delivery
Most drug therapies distribute the agents throughout the entire body, even though the drugs are typically only needed at specific tissues. This often limits dosage and causes discomfort and harmful side-effects. Significant research has examined nanoparticles (NPs) for use as targeted delivery vehicles for therapeutic cargo, however, major clinical success has been limited. Current work focuses...
