Due to its severity and increasing epidemiology, arthritis needs no description. There are various forms of arthritis most of which are disabling, very painful, and common. In spite of breakthroughs in the field of drug discovery, there is no cure for arthritis that can eliminate the disease permanently and ease the pain. The present review focuses on some of the most successful drugs in arthri...

Volume 5(4) 142-143 (2013) 142 J Cancer Sci Ther ISSN:1948-5956 JCST, an open access journal There is emerging and convincing data that certain cells, administered systemically, have a natural propensity to migrate to cancerous tissues in preclinical models. Examples of such cells include neural stem cells [1], bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells [2], umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly stem cells [3...

BACKGROUND Graphene and graphene-based nanocomposites are used in various research areas including sensing, energy storage, and catalysis. The mechanical, thermal, electrical, and biological properties render graphene-based nanocomposites of metallic nanoparticles useful for several biomedical applications. Epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the fifth most deadly cancer in women; most tumors initi...

Nanotechnology permits the design of therapeutic devices with defined structure and molecular composition. Modular designs employing surface-bound ligands provide specific homing devices for loaded cargo, and biocompatible and biodegradable constructs provide surrogate temporary microenvironments. We first present a case for developing 'smart' modular constructs as immunogenic vaccines to prime...

The scientific community has made great efforts in advancing magnetic hyperthermia for the last two decades after going through a sizeable research lapse from its establishment. All progress various topics ranging nanoparticle synthesis to biocompatibilization and vivo testing have been seeking push forefront towards some new clinical trials. As many, they did not go at expected pace. Today, fr...
