Renal Clearable Noble Metal Nanoparticles
Metal nanoparticles have demonstrated broad and promising biomedical applications in research laboratories, but to fulfill their potential in the clinic demands extensive effort to minimize their non‐specific accumulation in the body.
Targeted Chemotherapy with Nicotinylated Liposomes
Liposomal formulations of two novel nicotinylated amphiphiles for targeting potent chemotherapeutics to mouse glioblastoma.
Does Nicotine Affect “Recycling” of Cellular Components?
Using a proteomics approach, Drs. Paulo and Gygi from the Harvard Medical School provide evidence that nicotine exposure changes the abundance of membrane proteins implicated in signal transduction and autophagy.
Tumor-Targeted Nanotherapeutics for Glioblastoma
In an effort to overcome barriers to the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), targeted nanotherapeutics have emerged as promising drug delivery systems with the potential to improve pharmacokinetic profiles and therapeutic efficacy.
Magnetic Stem Cells for Gene Engineering
Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University have obtained magnetic stem cells with low toxicity and enough stable for gene engineering applications.
The Immune System Matters
Silver nanoparticles are a more effective cancer treatment in immune competent mice.
Melanin-Based Nanoparticles for Imaging of Tumor Vasculature
