A surface-adaptive nanocarrier to prolong circulation time and enhance cellular uptake.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on the protonation/deprotonation of poly(β-amino ester) (PAE), mixed-shell micelles (MSMs) with adaptive surfaces could rapidly and reversibly change surface properties to prolong circulation time in blood (pH 7.4) and enhance cellular uptake at tumor sites (pH 6.5).

Matrix metalloprotease 2-responsive multifunctional liposomal nanocarrier for enhanced tumor targeting.
A novel "smart" multifunctional drug delivery system was successfully developed to respond to the up-regulated matrix metalloprotease 2 (MMP2) in the tumor microenvironment and improve cancer cell-specific delivery of loaded drugs. The system represents a surface-functionalized liposomal nanocarrier, for which two functional polyethylene glycol (PEG)-lipid conjugates were synthesized and charac...

Design, synthesis, and conjugation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with biomolecules is a matter of growing interest to enhance selective uptake of contrast agents like gadolinium (Gd3+) by cancer cells. Here, by targeting xc-cystine/glutamate antiporter system in breast cancer cells, conjugation of MSN-Gd3+ with cysteine is used to enhance cancer cellular uptake of Gd3+. Reactions de...
متن کاملThe Study of Collagen Immobilization on a Novel Nanocomposite to Enhance Cell Adhesion and Growth
Background: Surface properties of a biomaterial could be critical in determining biomaterial’s biocompatibility due to the fact that the first interactions between the biological environment and artificial materials are most likely occurred at material’s surface. In this study, the surface properties of a new nanocomposite (NC) polymeric material were modified by combining plasma treatment and...
متن کاملExpert Review Poly(ethylene glycol)-modified Nanocarriers for Tumor-targeted and Intracellular Delivery
The success of anti-cancer therapies largely depends on the ability of the therapeutics to reach their designated cellular and intracellular target sites, while minimizing accumulation and action at nonspecific sites. Surface modification of nanoparticulate carriers with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)/ poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) has emerged as a strategy to enhance solubility of hydrophobic drugs,...
متن کاملPluronic as nano-carier for drug delivery systems
A common approach for building a drug delivery system is to incorporate the drug within the nanocarrier that results in increased solubility, metabolic stability, and improved circulation time. However, recent developments indicate that selection of polymer nanomaterials can implement more than only inert carrier functions by being biological response modifiers. One representative of such mater...
