The present study was designed to investigate whether poly-ion complex hollow vesicles (polymersomes), based on chemically modified chitosan, are appropriate for passive tumour targeting in the context of their application as drug carriers. The experiments were performed on colon...

Molecular-Thermodynamic Modeling of Mixed Cationic/Anionic Vesicles.

Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids

Yuet PK, Blankschtein D.
PMID: 27682332
Langmuir. 1996 Aug 07;12(16):3802-3818. doi: 10.1021/la9600513.

Vesicles are widely used as model cells in biology and medicine and are also potentially useful as drug carriers and other industrial encapsulating devices. To facilitate the practical implementation of vesicles, as well as to gain a fundamental understanding...

Anticancer activity of drug-loaded calcium phosphate nanocomposites against human osteosarcoma.

Biomaterials research

Son KD, Kim YJ.
PMID: 28652927
Biomater Res. 2017 Jun 24;21:13. doi: 10.1186/s40824-017-0099-1. eCollection 2017.

BACKGROUND: Calcium phosphate (CaP) based nanoparticles are considered to be ideal drug carriers for delivery of anticancer drugs because of their excellent biocompatibility and pH responsiveness. However, CaP nanoparticles have the problems of limited drug load capacity, initial burst...

One of the fourteen Grand Challenges for Engineering articulated by the US National Academy of Engineering is 'Engineer Better Medicines'. Although there are many ways that better medicines could be engineered, one of the most promising ideas is to...

Hybrid Nanostructures Containing Sulfadiazine Modified Chitosan as Antimicrobial Drug Carriers.

Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland)

Munteanu BS, Dumitriu RP, Profire L, Sacarescu L, Hitruc GE, Stoleru E, Dobromir M, Matricala AL, Vasile C.
PMID: 28335334
Nanomaterials (Basel). 2016 Nov 10;6(11). doi: 10.3390/nano6110207.

Chitosan (CH) nanofibrous structures containing sulfadiazine (SDZ) or sulfadiazine modified chitosan (SCH) in the form of functional nanoparticles attached to nanofibers (hybrid nanostructures) were obtained by mono-axial and coaxial electrospinning. The mono-axial design consisted of a SDZ/CH mixture solution...
