MicroRNA therapeutics: towards a new era for the management of cancer and other diseases

TL;DR: Recent advances in the understanding of miRNAs in cancer and in other diseases are described and the challenge of identifying the most efficacious therapeutic candidates is discussed and a perspective on achieving safe and targeted delivery of miRNA therapeutics is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug delivery and nanoparticles:applications and hazards

TL;DR: An overview on some of the currently used systems for drug delivery, varying from biological substances like albumin, gelatine and phospholipids for liposomes, and more substances of a chemical nature like various polymers and solid metal containing nanoparticles is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermo- and pH-responsive polymers in drug delivery.

TL;DR: The majority of examples, discussed in this paper, deal with pH-responsive drug delivery system, and Thermo-responsive polymer is also covered to a large extent, as well as double-responsive system.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of particle design on cellular internalization pathways

TL;DR: These findings suggest that HeLa cells readily internalize nonspherical particles with dimensions as large as 3 μm by using several different mechanisms of endocytosis, and it was found that rod-like particles enjoy an appreciable advantage when it comes to internalization rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymer conjugates as anticancer nanomedicines

TL;DR: There is growing optimism that ever more sophisticated polymer-based vectors will be a signficant addition to the armoury currently used for cancer therapy.

Mechanism of enhancement effect of dendrimer on transdermal drug permeation through polyhydroxyalkanoate matrix.

TL;DR: X-ray analyses were performed to investigate the mechanism of the enhancement effect of a dendrimer on the tamsulosin TDDS, and found that drug crystallization in PHA was promoted, which is very important for exploiting high-performance PHA-based TDDSs.
