Nano drug delivery systems: Targeted and site specific tool for therapeutic management

Pluronic as nano-carier for drug delivery systems

A common approach for building a drug delivery system is to incorporate the drug within the nanocarrier that results in increased solubility, metabolic stability, and improved circulation time. However, recent developments indicate that selection of polymer nanomaterials can implement more than only inert carrier functions by being biological response modifiers. One representative of such mater...

Advances in Targeted Drug Delivery

From systemic shotgun to site-specific nanoparticle-targeted delivery: a new paradigm for drug delivery.

Since the introduction of percutaneous techniques for the relief of symptomatic obstructive atherosclerotic coronary artery disease in the late 1970s, the major Achilles heel was restenosis. After nearly 3 decades of study, the cellular and molecular biology of this complex response to injury is now far better understood and includes the role of thrombosis, cellular proliferation, inflammation,...

Nano-gels: A versatile nano -carrier platform for drug delivery systems: A mini review

Nowadays the application of nanotechnology in different biomedical fields such as drug delivery is increasing due to its unique advantages. With this in mind, it is widely believed that nanogels as the nanometer-sized networked polymeric particles have a considerable impact on drug delivery systems as biocompatible nanocarriers due to their unique characteristics such as high loading capacity, ...
