Liposome Formulation of Fullerene-Based Molecular Diagnostic and Therapeutic AgentsPharmaceutics - Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 525-541
Zhiguo Zhou
Fullerene medicine is a new but rapidly growing research subject. Fullerene has a number of desired structural, physical and chemical properties to be adapted for biological use including antioxidants, anti-aging, anti-inflammation, photodynamic therapy, drug delivery, and magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. Chemical functionalization of fullerenes has led to several interesting co...... hiện toàn bộ
The Physicochemical, Biopharmaceutical, and In Vitro Efficacy Properties of Freeze-Dried Dexamethasone-Loaded LipomersPharmaceutics - Tập 13 Số 8 - Trang 1322
Eloy Pena-Rodríguez, Aida Mata-Ventosa, Laura García‐Vega, Sandra Pérez‐Torras, Francisco Fernández-Campos
Dexamethasone-loaded polymer hybrid nanoparticles were developed as a potential tool to treat alopecia areata due to their follicular targeting ability. Freeze drying (FD) is a common technique used to improve nanoparticle stability; however, there are few studies focused on its effect on ethyl cellulose lipid-core nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were lyophilized with different cryoprotectant...... hiện toàn bộ

Peptide-Based Strategies for Targeted Tumor Treatment and ImagingPharmaceutics - Tập 13 Số 4 - Trang 481
Abiodun Ayo, Pirjo Laakkonen
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The development of cancer-specific diagnostic agents and anticancer toxins would improve patient survival. The current and standard types of medical care for cancer patients, including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, are not able to treat all cancers. A new treatment strategy utilizing tumor targeting peptides to selectively ...... hiện toàn bộ
A Role for Nanoparticles in Treating Traumatic Brain InjuryPharmaceutics - Tập 11 Số 9 - Trang 473
Badrul Alam Bony, Forrest M. Kievit
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the main causes of disability in children and young adults, as well as a significant concern for elderly individuals. Depending on the severity, TBI can have a long-term impact on the quality of life for survivors of all ages. The primary brain injury can result in severe disability or fatality, and secondary brain damage can increase the complexities...... hiện toàn bộ
Protein-Based Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery SystemsPharmaceutics - Tập 12 Số 7 - Trang 604
Seyoung Hong, Dong Wook Choi, Hong Nam Kim, Chun Gwon Park, Wonhwa Lee, Hee Ho Park
Nanoparticles have been extensively used as carriers for the delivery of chemicals and biomolecular drugs, such as anticancer drugs and therapeutic proteins. Natural biomolecules, such as proteins, are an attractive alternative to synthetic polymers commonly used in nanoparticle formulation because of their safety. In general, protein nanoparticles offer many advantages, such as biocompati...... hiện toàn bộ
Natural Diatom Biosilica as Microshuttles in Drug Delivery SystemsPharmaceutics - Tập 11 Số 10 - Trang 537
Joachim Delasoie, Fabio Zobi
Unicellular diatom microalgae are a promising natural resource of porous biosilica. These microorganisms produce around their membrane a highly porous and extremely structured silica shell called frustule. Once harvested from living algae or from fossil sediments of diatomaceous earth, this biocompatible and non-toxic material offers an exceptional potential in the field of micro/nano-devi...... hiện toàn bộ
