Tumor hypoxia is correlated with increased resistance to chemotherapy and poor overall
prognoses across a number of cancer types. We present here a cancer cell-selective and …

The development of natural phospholipids for nanostructured drug delivery systems has
attracted much attention in the past decades. Lecithin that was derived from naturally …

Conventional cancer chemotherapy heavily relies on the use of cytotoxic agents, which
typically do not preferentially localize at the tumor site and cause toxicity to normal organs …

Rare-earth up-converting nanophosphors (UCNPs) have great potential to become a new
generation of biological luminescent labels, but their use has been limited by difficulties in …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is highly prevalent and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Despite
the global burden of OA, diagnostic tests and treatments for the molecular or early …

Phototherapies involve the irradiation of target tissues with light. To further enhance
selectivity and potency, numerous molecularly targeted photosensitizers and photoactive …

Beneficial features of biocompatible high-capacity UiO-66 nanoparticles, mesoporous SiO2,
and folate-conjugated pluronic F127 were combined to prepare the core–shell UiO-66 …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging noninvasive therapy modality for treating
cancer diseases. However, conventional PDT suffers from poor stability of organic …

Nanocarriers have attracted broad attention in cancer therapy because of their ability to
carry drugs preferentially into cancer tissue, but their application is still limited due to the …

Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide and its treatment remains very
challenging. The effectiveness of cancer therapy significantly depends upon tumour-specific …
