Survival improves when cancer is detected early. However,~ 50% of cancers are at an
advanced stage when diagnosed. Early detection of cancer or precancerous change allows …

The first matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) was discovered in 1962 from the tail of a tadpole by
its ability to degrade collagen. As their name suggests, matrix metalloproteinases are …

Decades have passed since the first nanoparticles-base medicine was approved for human
cancer treatment, and the research and development of nanoparticles for drug delivery are …

The manufacture of bionic materials to simulate the natural counterparts has attracted
extensive attention. As one of the subcategories of biomimetic materials, the development of …

Inorganic nanomaterials that have inherently exceptional physicochemical properties (eg,
catalytic, optical, thermal, electrical, or magnetic performance) that can provide desirable …

Optical imaging in disease diagnosis and treatment benefits from high spatiotemporal
resolution and the availability of numerous optical agents. However, many optical imaging …

Nanotechnology has become a trending area in science and has made great advances with
