Introduction: Recently, nanographene oxide (NGO) is proven to be as a great candidate for drug delivery, and phototherapies cancer. Photothermal sensitivity of NGO and its optical absorption in the NIR region lead to photothermal ablation of tumors. Nevertheless, the major drawback of GO is its toxicity in biological systems, To overcome this problem, nanoscale GO prepare with...

Particles that have the potential to deliver imaging agents and drugs to cells and tissue now have many different shapes and sizes. This diversity in particle shape could provide new options for potential treatments of diseases because geometry affects biodistribution. However, the myriad of particle shapes now available increases the number of variables or parameters that must be taken into co...

Identification of bioactive molecules and their targets impedes the process of drug development. In a recent paper, a genetically tractable organism, the Caenorhabditis elegans worm, is shown to be a viable screening system in which the drug target and the pathway it activates can be readily identified.

A recent study in BMC Pharmacology presents a network of drugs and the therapies in which they are used. Network approaches open new ways of predicting novel drug targets and overcoming the cellular robustness that can prevent drugs from working.

Effective delivery of drugs via liposomes in the treatment or prevention of disease is the aim of numerous researchers worldwide.[...].
