چکیده
The advancement of next-generation nanocarriers as drug delivery platforms will require the incorporation of these useful properties, through which adverse side effects of chemotherapy drugs can be avoided and overall treatment and diagnosis improved. As such, a variety of nanoparticle-based delivery systems have already been widely investigated and provided interesting avenues of research for improving cancer treatments through therapy and targeted delivery.

Liposomal drug carriers are nano-scale, spherical particles with a phospholipid bilayer surrounding an aqueous core and are commonly used for chemotherapeutic delivery. Chemotherapy efficacy is limited by toxicity and tumor drug resistance; however, with increased circulation and improved tumor deposition due to the enhanced permeability and retention effect, liposomes increase treatment effica...
متن کاملNanocarrier-mediated co-delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs and gene agents for cancer treatment
The efficacy of chemotherapeutic drug in cancer treatment is often hampered by drug resistance of tumor cells, which is usually caused by abnormal gene expression. RNA interference mediated by siRNA and miRNA can selectively knock down the carcinogenic genes by targeting specific mRNAs. Therefore, combining chemotherapeutic drugs with gene agents could be a promising strategy for cancer therapy...

Multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are good candidates for multimodal applications in drug delivery, bioimaging, and cell targeting. In particular, controlled release of drugs from MSN pores constitutes one of the superior features of MSNs. In this study, a novel drug delivery carrier based on MSNs, which encapsulated highly sensitive F magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contr...
