Nanoparticle size, surface charge and material composition are known to affect the uptake of
nanoparticles by cells. However, whether nanoparticle shape affects transport across …

With the rapid development of nanotechnologies, nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly
produced and used in many commercial products, which could lead to the contact of human …

Shape of particulate drug carries has been identified as a key parameter in determining their
biological outcome. In this review, we analyze the field of particle shape as it shifts from …

The low-efficiency cellular uptake property of current nanoparticles greatly restricts their
application in the biomedical field. Herein, we demonstrate that novel virus-like mesoporous …

Stimuli responsive hydrogels (SRHs) are attractive bioscaffolds for tissue engineering. The
structural similarity of SRHs to the extracellular matrix (ECM) of many tissues offers great …

The immune system has evolved to recognize and respond to a wide variety of pathogens
and produce distinct immune responses against diverse pathogenic structures. Despite …

While the blood vessel is seldom the target tissue, almost all nanomedicine will interact with
blood vessels and blood at some point of time along its life cycle in the human body …

Designer nanoparticles with controlled shapes and sizes are increasingly popular vehicles
for therapeutic delivery due to their enhanced cell-delivery performance. However, our …

In the field of targeted drug delivery, the effects of size and morphology of drug nanocarriers
are of great importance and need to be discussed in depth. To be concise, among all the …

Oral administration has been the most common therapeutic regimen in various diseases
because of its high safety, convenience, lower costs, and high compliance of patients …
