A supramolecular nanovehicle (denoted as SNV) was fabricated by encapsulating zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and doxorubicin (DOX) into a copolymer (PVP-b-PAA-g-FA), so as to achieve systematic and synergistic chemotherapy-photodynamic therapy (PDT), targeted tumor imaging and therapy. The sophisticated copolymer designed in this work can load the PDT photosensitizer (ZnPc) and chemotherapy drug (D...

the problem of designing a set of routes with minimum cost to serve a collection of customers with a fleet of vehicles is a fundamental challenge when the number of customers to be dropped or picked up is not known during the planning horizon. the purpose of this paper is to develop a vehicle routing problem (vrp) model that addresses stochastic simultaneous pickup and delivery in the urban pub...

Advance protein based nanobiotechnology are now, known for its advanced approach to synthesize various nanomaterials using various newly developed chemical and green technologies to carry out their applications in various fields of life sciences. Now these days, Bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs) are very popular as non vehicle systems for drug delivery used in number of therapeutic s...

Gene therapy is a technique that currently under expansion and development. Recent advances in genetic medicine have paved the way for broader range of therapies laid groundwork next-generation technologies. A terminally substituted difluorene-diester Schiff Base calix[4]arene has been studied this work as possible nanovector to be used gene therapy. Changes luminescent behavior calixarene macr...

background: dendritic cells (dcs) are ideal accessory cells in the field of gene therapy. delivery of dna and sirna into mammalian cells is a useful technique in treating various diseases caused by single gene defects. selective gene silencing by small interfering rnas (sirnas) and antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (odn)s is an efficient method for the manipulation of cellular functions. an effic...

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can selectively induce apoptosis in a variety of tumor cells, but not most normal cells. Nevertheless, its therapeutic potential is limited due to the frequent occurrence of resistance in tumor cells, especially hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. Therefore, we investigated the reversal effect of STAT3-decoy oligonucleotides (ODNs...
