Recent developments in the nanostructured materials functionalized with ruthenium complexes for targeted drug delivery to tumors

In recent years, the field of metal-based drugs has been dominated by other existing precious metal drugs, and many researchers have focused their attention on the synthesis of various ruthenium (Ru) complexes due to their potential medical and pharmaceutical applications. The beneficial properties of Ru, which make it a highly promising therapeutic agent, include its variable oxidation states,...

Nanostructured porous Si-based nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery

One of the backbones in nanomedicine is to deliver drugs specifically to unhealthy cells. Drug nanocarriers can cross physiological barriers and access different tissues, which after proper surface biofunctionalization can enhance cell specificity for cancer therapy. Recent developments have highlighted the potential of mesoporous silica (PSiO(2)) and silicon (PSi) nanoparticles for targeted dr...
