Introduction: Photothermal therapy (PTT) is a nanotechnology-assisted cancer hyperthermia approach in which the interaction between laser light and plasmonic nanoparticles generates a localized heating for thermoablation of the tumor. Recent efforts in the area of PTT follow two important aims: (i) exploitation of targeting strategies for preferential accumulation of plasmonic ...

A new microsphere consisting of inorganic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) and organic alginate (denoted as MSN@Alg) was successfully synthesized by air-dynamic atomization and applied to the intracellular drug delivery systems (DDS) of liver cancer cells with sustained release and specific targeting properties. MSN@Alg microspheres have the advantages of MSN and alginate, where MSN provi...

Please cite this article in press as: Yokoya Diagnosis of Solid Tumors, Journal of Exper Polymeric micelles are assemblies of synthetic polymers and have been studied and developed as drug carriers for targeting solid tumors. Physicochemical characters and medical advantages of the polymeric micelle carrier systems are summarized, followed by an explanation of their recent application for contr...

Protein nanoparticles are potentially valuable carriers for drug delivery, because they can be easily designed to perform various functions such as targeting specific cells and penetration of tissues.

Efficient intracellular targeting of drugs and drug delivery systems (DDSs) is a major challenge that should be overcome to enhance the therapeutic efficiency of biopharmaceuticals and other intracellularly-acting drugs. Studies that quantitatively assess the mechanisms, barriers, and efficiency of intracellular drug delivery are required to determine the therapeutic potential of intracellular ...

The present review discusses the potential use of solid lipid nanoparticles for brain drug targeting purposes. The state of the art on surfactant-coated poly(alkylcyanoacrylate) nanoparticles specifically designed for brain targeting is given by emphasizing the transfer of this technology to solid lipid matrices. The available literature on solid lipid nanoparticles and related carriers for bra...

Osteosarcoma, the most common bone cancer, leads to a poor survival rate of patients. Drug targeting employing hydroxyapatite (HAp)-based nanocarriers represents fascinating choice for non-invasive treatment osteosarcoma.

This paper proposes a novel type of multifunctional envelope-type mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) to achieve cancer cell targeting and drug-controlled release. In this system, MSNs were first modified by active targeting moiety hyaluronic acid (HA) for breast cancer cell targeting and hyaluronidases (Hyal)-induced intracellular drug release. Then gelatin, a proteinaceous biopolymer, was gr...

Abstract Background and Aims Single-loaded nanocarrier that can improve targeting capability drug toxicity compared with free drugs demonstrates a promising strategy for disease treatment. Due to the heterogeneity of injured cells during progression, dose-induced resistance, instability nanocarriers in blood circulation, it is challenging achieve dual different cell subsets as well reducing dos...
