nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale which may exert a revolutionary impact on cancer diagnosis and therapy. nanotechnology is being applied to cancer in two broad areas: i) the development of nanovectors such as nanoparticles which can be loaded with drugs or imaging agents and then targeted to tumours, and ii) high-throughput nanosensor devices for de...

Objective(s): Early diagnosis of cancer using noninvasive imaging techniques has been discussed in several recent studies. The present study aimed to assess the synergistic effects of iodixanol-conjugated polyethylene glycol (PEG)-citrate (anionic linear globular) dendrimer G2 on MCF-7 breast cancer cells and human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells. Materials and Methods: PEG-citrate de...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world and developing countries. Diseases affecting the cardiovascular system are expected to be the main cause of death globally within the next 20 years. This is due to the rising prevalence of CVD in the eastern parts of Europe, developing countries and an increasing incidence of obesity and diabe...
