Background: Creating a new berberine liposome with high encapsulation efficiency and slow release formulation in the treatment of cancer is a new issue. Therefore, the aim of current study was to develop slow release berberine-containing nanoliposome for delivery to bone cancer cells Saos2. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, after synthesis nanoliposomal formulation, physical p...

Objective(s): Nanocarriers are drug delivery vehicles, which have attracted the attention of researchers in recent years, particularly in cancer treatment. The encapsulation of anticancer drugs using protein nanocages is considered to be an optimal approach to reducing drug side-effects and increasing the bioavailability of anticancer drugs. Epirubicin (EPR) is an active chemotherapeutic medica...

Despite diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic advances, growing incidence of cancer and high rate of mortality among patients affected by specific cancer types indicate current clinical measures are not ideally useful in eradicating cancer. Chemoresistance and subsequent disease relapse are believed to be mainly driven by the cell-molecular heterogeneity of human tumors that necessitates perso...

introduction: pathophysiology of cancer is based on genetic instabilities. this can explain recent important role of genetic studies in such diseases. defects can be large (on molecular scale) at the level of chromosomal or small in nucleotide level, which eventually causes to irreversible change in the cell. conventional technical methods in cancer genetics are generally based on molecular or ...

background: determining the optimal and effective scheme for administrating the chemotherapy agents in breast cancer is the main goal of this scientific research. the most important issue here is the amount of drug or radiation administrated in chemotherapy and radiotherapy for increasing patient's survival. this is because in these cases, the therapy not only kills the tumor cells, but also ki...

introduction: for thousands of years, plants have been used as the main source of drug worldwide. recently, it has been found out that the plant artemisia annua and especially its derivatives such as artemether have anticancer properties. methods: in this study, the anticancer effect of artemether on mcf-7 breast cancer cell line was examined. mtt assay was used to assess the viability of cance...
