Journal ArticleDOI
Injectable and biodegradable hydrogels: gelation, biodegradation and biomedical applications
TL;DR: The review includes the novel naturally based hydrogels with high potential for biomedical applications developed in the past five years which integrate the excellent biocompatibility of natural polymers/synthetic polypeptides with structural controllability via chemical modification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox-responsive alginate nanogels with enhanced anticancer cytotoxicity.
Dina Maciel,Priscilla Figueira,Shili Xiao,Dengmai Hu,Xiangyang Shi,Xiangyang Shi,João Rodrigues,Helena Tomás,Yulin Li +8 more
TL;DR: An easy process for the preparation of redox-sensitive nanogels that were shown to be highly efficient in the intracellular delivery of Dox and can be used as a tool to overcome the problem ofDox resistance in anticancer treatments and possibly be used for the delivery of other cationic drugs in applications beyond cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH-sensitive Laponite®/doxorubicin/alginate nanohybrids with improved anticancer efficacy
Mara Gonçalves,Priscilla Figueira,Dina Maciel,João Rodrigues,Xue Qu,Changsheng Liu,Helena Tomás,Yulin Li +7 more
TL;DR: The preparation and in vitro evaluation of a new type of nanohybrid for anticancer drug delivery which is capable of carrying a high load of the cationic Dox through the cell membrane and can be effectively internalized by CAL-72 cells, and exhibit a remarkable higher cytotoxicity to cancer cells than the free Dox.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH sensitive Laponite/alginate hybrid hydrogels: swelling behaviour and release mechanism
TL;DR: LP/AG hybrid gels show a greater encapsulation efficiency of MB, a better sustained release and higher pH sensitivity in MB release and are good candidates for the controlled delivery of cationic drugs under acidic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendrimer-Assisted Formation of Fluorescent Nanogels for Drug Delivery and Intracellular Imaging
Mara Gonçalves,Dina Maciel,Débora Capelo,Shili Xiao,Wenjie Sun,Xiangyang Shi,Xiangyang Shi,João Rodrigues,Helena Tomás,Yulin Li +9 more
TL;DR: In vitro studies show that the AG/G5-Dox NGs were effectively taken up by CAL-72 cells and maintain the anticancer cytotoxicity levels of free Dox, demonstrating that AG/ G5 nanogels may serve as a general platform for therapeutic delivery and/or cell imaging.
