Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Fe 3 O 4 Nanoparticles Embedded in Living Magnetotactic Bacteria for Potential Use as Carriers for In Vivo Applications

TL;DR: It is shown that the magnetosomes embedded in each MTB can be used to track the displacement of these bacteria using an MRI system and MTB affect much more the T2-relaxation than T1- Relaxation rate and can be though as a negative contrast agent.

Combined strategies of apomorphine diester prodrugs and nanostructured lipid carriers for efficient brain targeting.

TL;DR: Results of a bioimaging study in mice showed that P-NLCs largely accumulated in the brain, showing the synergistic effect of integrating strategies of prodrugs and NLCs, with the longer carbon chain showing the slower release.

A phototherapeutic fluorescent β-cyclodextrin branched polymer delivering nitric oxide.

TL;DR: A novel water-soluble β-cyclodextrin-branched polymer covalently integrating a fluorescein moiety and a nitric oxide (NO) photodonor within its macromolecular skeleton is reported, internalizes in squamous carcinoma cancer cells in vitro, and induces cell mortality as result of the NO photo-decaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Target nanoparticles: An appealing drug delivery platform

TL;DR: Targeted liposome’s, micelles, carbon nanotubes and dendrimers incorporated with therapeutic molecules have displayed impressive anticancer effects in animal studies, and these nanomaterials are considered to be close to clinical translation due to their biocompatibility.
