Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most serious health disorders with increasing prevalence and high morbidity and mortality. Although diagnosis and treatment of CVD have achieved huge breakthrough in recent years, it still needs additional e...
This in vitro study aimed to investigate the synergistic antibacterial activity of polymyxin B in combination with 2 nm silver nanoparticles (NPs) against Gram-negative pathogens commonly isolated from the cystic fibrosis (CF) lung. The in vitro syne...
With the rapid development of nanotherapy, concerns surrounding the possible use of nanomaterials-mediated immunomodulation are growing. Thus, evaluating the effects of novel materials for potential application in nanotherapy is essential. Herein, we...
IR-780 iodide, a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent heptamethine dye, has attracted wide attention in the biomedical community. However, hydrophobicity and toxicity severely limit its further biomedical application. Although many successful efforts have...
Cerium dioxide nanoparticles (nanoceria), currently used as catalysts including additives to diesel fuel, also present potential as a novel therapeutic agent for disorders involving oxidative stress. However, little is known about the effects of nano...
A disulfide bond containing deoxycholic acid-grafted dextran (Dex-SSDCA) was successfully prepared for drug delivery. The Dex-SSDCA polymers can self-assemble into nanomicelles at concentrations below 56 g/mL and encapsulate doxorubicin (DOX) effecti...
