Dual-Targeting and Stimuli-Triggered Liposomal Drug Delivery in Cancer Treatment
(American Chemical Society, 2021)
The delivery of chemotherapeutics to solid tumors using smart drug delivery systems (SDDSs) takes advantage of the unique physiology of tumors (i.e., disordered structure, leaky vasculature, abnormal extracellular matrix ...
Thermosensitive Polymers and Thermo-Responsive Liposomal Drug Delivery Systems
(MDPI, 2022)
Temperature excursions within a biological milieu can be effectively used to induce drug release from thermosensitive drug-encapsulating nanoparticles. Oncological hyperthermia is of particular interest, as it is proven ...
pH-Responsive Nanocarriers in Cancer Therapy
(MDPI, 2022)
A number of promising nano-sized particles (nanoparticles) have been developed to conquer the limitations of conventional chemotherapy. One of the most promising methods is stimuli-responsive nanoparticles because they ...
Photo-Induced Drug Release from Polymeric Micelles and Liposomes: Phototriggering Mechanisms in Drug-Delivery Systems
(MDPI, 2022)
Chemotherapeutic drugs are highly effective in treating cancer. However, the side effects associated with this treatment lower the quality of life of cancer patients. Smart nanocarriers are able to encapsulate these drugs ...
The Kinetics of Calcein Release from Mixed Targeted Liposomes Using Ultrasound
(American Scientific Publishers, 2022)
Site-specific delivery of chemotherapeutics using actively targeted-stimuli-responsive liposomes is a promising approach to enhance the therapeutic efficiency of anti-cancer drugs while reducing the associated undesirable ...
Liposomes for the Treatment of Brain Cancer — A Review
(MDPI, 2023-06-25)
Due to their biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and surface-conjugation capabilities, liposomes are effective nanocarriers that can encapsulate chemotherapeutic drugs and facilitate targeted delivery across the blood–brain ...
A Review on Membrane Fouling Prediction Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)
(MDPI, 2023-07-24)
Membrane fouling is a major hurdle to effective pressure-driven membrane processes, such as microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO). Fouling refers to the accumulation of ...
Transferrin-Targeted Liposomes in Glioblastoma Therapy: A Review
(MDPI, 2026-08-26)
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive brain tumor, and its treatment is further complicated by the high selectivity of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). The scientific community is urgently seeking innovative and effective ...
Recent Breakthroughs in Using Quantum Dots for Cancer Imaging and Drug Delivery Purposes
(MDPI, 2023)
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Because each person’s cancer may be unique, diagnosing and treating cancer is challenging. Advances in nanomedicine have made it possible to detect tumors and quickly ...
Incorporating nanoparticles in 3D printed scaffolds for bone cancer therapy
(Elsevier, 2023)
The low occurrence rate of bone cancer contributes to delayed diagnosis and treatment; in addition, the surgical resection of bone tumors can cause significant bone defects, further hindering the effective treatment of the ...
