Using viruses as nanomedicines.
The field of nanomedicine involves the design and fabrication of novel nanocarriers for the intracellular delivery of therapeutic cargo or for use in molecular diagnostics. Although traditionally recognized for their ability to invade and infect host cells, viruses and bacteriophages have been engineered over the past decade as highly promising molecular platforms for the targeted delivery and ...
متن کاملDesigning polymer conjugates as lysosomotropic nanomedicines.
Marriage of cell biology (the concept of 'lysosomotropic drug delivery') and the realization that water-soluble synthetic polymers might provide an ideal platform for targeted drug delivery led to the first synthetic polymer-drug conjugates that entered clinical trials as anticancer agents. Conceptually, polymer conjugates share many features with other macromolecular drugs, but they have the a...
متن کاملNanomedicines as cancer therapeutics: current status.
As of 21st century, cancer is arguably the most complex and challenging disease known to mankind and an inevitable public health concern of this millennium. Nanotechnology, suitably amalgamated with cancer research, has ushered an era of highly personalized and safer medicines which can improve cancer diagnosis and therapy. A wide variety of nanomedicines are currently under investigation, incl...
متن کاملEngineering nanomedicines using stimuli-responsive biomaterials.
The ability to engineer particles has the potential to shift the paradigm in the creation of new medicines and diagnostics. Complete control over particle characteristics, such as size, shape, mechanical property, and surface chemistry, can enable rapid translation and facilitate the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of particle technologies for the treatment of cancer, infectious ...
متن کاملThe nanomedicines alliance: an industry perspective on nanomedicines.
UNLABELLED The field of nanomedicines has expanded significantly in recent years in the breadth of compounds under development as well as in the types of technology that are being applied to generate nanomedicines. The pathway to licensure of new nanomedicines is sufficiently well defined by existing regulations and guidance. The future of nanomedicines requires collaboration between industry a...
