Multifunctional micellar nanomedicine for cancer therapy.
Polymeric micelles are supramolecular, core-shell nanoparticles that offer considerable advantages for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Their relatively small size (10-100 nm), ability to solubilize hydrophobic drugs as well as imaging agents, and improved pharmacokinetics provide a useful bioengineering platform for cancer applications. Several polymeric micelle formulations are currently undergo...
متن کاملNeuropeptide Y GERALD
NEUROPEPTIDE Y (NPY) was identified as a neuropeptide that is colocalized and coreleased with the neurotransmitter norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve terminals. In this regard, a large body of research on NPY focused on its role in autonomic physiology and pharmacology as a potentiator of the postsynaptic actions of norepinephrine. However, with the increased understanding of the genes and t...

متن کاملNeuropeptide Y in the Adult and Fetal Human Pineal Gland
Neuropeptide Y was isolated from the porcine brain in 1982 and shown to be colocalized with noradrenaline in sympathetic nerve terminals. The peptide has been demonstrated to be present in sympathetic nerve fibers innervating the pineal gland in many mammalian species. In this investigation, we show by use of immunohistochemistry that neuropeptide Y is present in nerve fibers of the adult human...
متن کاملNeuropeptide Y: History and Overview
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino acid peptide with structural similarities to peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). NPY, one of the most abundant neuropeptides known, is widely distributed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, while PYY and PP are predominantly distributed in the endocrine cells of the intestine and pancreas, respectively. Five NPY receptor subtyp...
