Nano-sized Polymeric Carriers for Cancer Diagnostics and Therapy
Drugs administered to treat cancers typically distribute randomly throughout the body, resulting in a lower concentration of the drug at the tumor and some severe side effects due to the lack of specificity of the anticancer agent. Targeted drug delivery systems have the potential to offer more effective treatment with significantly reduced adverse effects through specific interactions with the...
متن کاملNano- or submicron-sized liposomes as carriers for drug delivery.
Liposomes are tiny spheres ranging in diameters from 50 nm to several microns. The scope of this mini review is to introduce the concept of liposomes and to describe some aspects and mechanisms of stimulating topical and injectable products with liposomes. Two examples discussed in this article are topical delivery across skin and injectable formulations for anticancer drugs. Classic liposomes ...
متن کاملBarriers and recent advances in non-viral vectors targeting the lungs for cystic fibrosis gene therapy
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in CFTR genes that affect chloride ion channel. The CF is a good nominee for gene therapy as the asymptomatic carriers are phenotypically normal, and the desired cells are accessible for vector delivery. Gene therapy shows promising effects involving the correction of gene or replacement of the mutant gene with the func...
متن کاملDesigning an Engineered Construct Gene Sensitive to Carbohydrate In-vitro and Candidate for Human Insulin Gene Therapy In-vivo
Background and Aim: Diabetes is a common disorder worldwide, and exhaustive efforts have been made to cure this disease. Gene therapy has considered as a potential curative method that has more stability in comparison with the other pharmaceutical methods. However, the application of gene therapy as a definitive treatment demands further investigation. This study aim is to prepare a suitable hi...
