This study was performed to optimize the formulation of polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (PLN) for the delivery of an ionic water-soluble drug, verapamil hydrochloride (VRP) and to investigate the roles of formulation factors. Modeling and optimiza...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are secreted by various cell types, hold significant potential for cancer therapy. However, there are several challenges and difficulties that limit their application in clinical settings. This review, which integr...
Carbon dots (CDs) are emerging as next-generation bioimaging agents due to their strong fluorescence, photobleaching resistance, and biocompatibility. However, their small size often limits efficient cell internalization, leading to unspecified cellu...
Electrospun drug-loaded polymeric nanofibers can improve the efficacy of therapeutics for a variety of implications. By design, these biomaterial platforms can enhance drug bioavailability and site-specific delivery while reducing off-target toxiciti...
BACKGROUND: Dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological disorder. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative condition that predominantly impacts the elderly population, although it can also manifest in younger people through the i...
