Doxorubicin Loaded DNA Aptamer Linked Myristilated Chitosan Nanogel for Targeted Drug Delivery to Prostate Cancer

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...

Alginate Polymers for Drug Delivery

Acknowledgements We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who advised and assisted with our research throughout our time at ENSIC. We sincerely appreciate their time and efforts. Abstract The goal of this project was to investigate the properties of alginate stabilized emulsions and their potential role for drug delivery. The polymer acts as a barrier between phases in oil-in-water em...
