This review presents an overview of the recent advances in development stimuli-responsive nanobubbles and their novel biomedical applications including bio-imaging, drug delivery ablation tumor tissues.

The chemical structure of CyssTP and its self-assembly into a glutathione-activated carrier-free nanodrug triptolide (CyssTPN) as trackable drug delivery system for tumor therapy.

BACKGROUND The computational methods provide condition for investigation related to the process of drug delivery, such as convection and diffusion of drug in extracellular matrices, drug extravasation from microvessels or to lymphatic vessels. The information of this process clarifies the mechanisms of drug delivery from the injection site to absorption by a solid tumor. In this study, an advan...

Despite the application of aggressive surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in clinics, brain tumors are still a difficult health challenge due to their fast development and poor prognosis. Brain tumor-targeted drug delivery systems, which increase drug accumulation in the tumor region and reduce toxicity in normal brain and peripheral tissue, are a promising new approach to brain tumor treatm...

in this work we synthesized nano hydroxyapatite (hap)  by sol-gel method, then we functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticle by use of  3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (aptms) , to improve the loading and control release of sulfasalazine drug bonded to aptms. the drug release patterns from sulfasalazine loaded hap nanoparticles at ph value 8 for 6h, sulfasalazine loaded functionalized hap nanopa...

Combination of RGD cell adhesion peptide with GHK modulator synergistically improves targeting tumor cells. Amphiphilic peptides can be effectively displayed on liposomal surface for screening and drug delivery applications.

microparticles offer various significant advantages as drug delivery systems, including: (i) an effective protection of the encapsulated active agent against (e.g. enzymatic) degradation, (ii) the possibility to accurately control the release rate of the incorporated drug over periods of hours to months, (iii) an easy administration (compared to alternative parenteral controlled release dosage ...

the objective of present research was to design, evaluate and compare drug release from two different dosage forms in pulsatile drug delivery system (dds) for metoprolol tartarate (mt) as tablet and capsule. pulsatile systems are gaining a lot of interest as they deliver the drug at the right site of action at the right time and in the right amount, thus providing spatial and temporal delivery ...

to improve drug selectivity toward target cells, one interesting approach for drug delivery is to use polymer nanoparticles. a two-layered oniom becke3- lyp: uff calculation was carried out to study the structural and thermodynamic properties of the interaction between acetamide derivatives and the pca-peg-pca copolymers. the interaction enthalpies and the gibbs free energies between acetamide ...
