To overcome the problems of gene and drug delivery, nanotechnology has gained interest in recent years. Nanosystems with different compositions and biological properties have been extensively investigated for drug and gene delivery applications. Nanotechnology in drug delivery has been manifested into nanoparticles that can have unique properties both in vitro and in vivo, especially in targete...

recently, specific attention has been paid to aptamers, short dna or rna, as a tool for cancer diagnosis and therapy. in the present study mcs nanogels were prepared by myristate: chitosan at 1:9 ratio and were characterized by several techniques. a selected ssdna aptamer(apt) capable of detecting lncap cells was linked to myristilated chitosan nanogels (apt-mcs) by glutaraldehyde and loaded wi...

pluronic based nano-particulate systems are innovative platforms for delivery of anti-cancer agents. these systems due to their pharmacological properties and suitable physicochemical characteristics are great opportunity for development cancer therapeutics. this mini-review tries to provide a more detailed overview on the currently available pluronic based drug delivery systems. in the section...
