PEG-based micelles as carriers of contrast agents for different imaging modalities
TL;DR: Brief analysis of the micellization process and micelle properties shows that micelles made of amphiphilic co-polymers seem to be the most attractive for practical application.

TL;DR: A review of nanoscience related definitions applied to pharmaceuticals, all 43 currently approved drug formulations which are publicized as nanopharmaceuticals, are discussed, and clinical aspects of selected drug formulations are analyzed.

Lipid-based nanotherapeutics for siRNA delivery
TL;DR: The size of the carrier is important as carriers <100 nm in diameter have been reported to have higher accumulation levels in tumours, hepatocytes and inflamed tissue, whereas larger particles tend to be taken up by Kupffer cells or other components of the reticuloendothelial system (RES).

Geometry and surface characteristics of gold nanoparticles influence their biodistribution and uptake by macrophages.
TL;DR: Gold nanorods were taken up to a lesser extent by the liver, had longer circulation time in the blood, and higher accumulation in the tumors, compared with their spherical counterparts.

A New Concept for Macromolecular Therapeutics in Cancer Chemotherapy: Mechanism of Tumoritropic Accumulation of Proteins and the Antitumor Agent Smancs
Yasuhiro Matsumura,Hiroshi Maeda +1 more
TL;DR: It is speculated that the tumoritropic accumulation of smancs and other proteins resulted because of the hypervasculature, an enhanced permeability to even macromolecules, and little recovery through either blood vessels or lymphatic vessels in tumors of tumor-bearing mice.

Vascular endothelial growth factor is a secreted angiogenic mitogen
TL;DR: DNA sequencing suggests the existence of several molecular species of VEGF, a heparin-binding growth factor specific for vascular endothelial cells that is able to induce angiogenesis in vivo.

Tumor cells secrete a vascular permeability factor that promotes accumulation of ascites fluid.

TL;DR: Tumor ascites fluids from guinea pigs, hamsters, and mice contain activity that rapidly increases microvascular permeability, and this activity is secreted by these tumor cells and a variety of other tumor cell lines in vitro.

Vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor, microvascular hyperpermeability, and angiogenesis.
TL;DR: T tumors have "borrowed" fundamental mechanisms that developed in multicellular organisms for purposes of tissue defense, renewal, and repair and taught us something new about angiogenesis, namely, that vascular hyperpermeability and consequent plasma protein extravasation are important, perhaps essential, elements in its generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitric oxide production contributes to the angiogenic properties of vascular endothelial growth factor in human endothelial cells.
TL;DR: Both short- and long-term exposure of human EC to VEGF stimulates the release of biologically active NO, suggesting that NO mediates aspects of V EGF signaling required for EC proliferation and organization in vitro.
