Biomolecule-based nanostructures are inherently multifunctional and harbour diverse
biological activities, which can be explored for cancer nanomedicine. The supramolecular …

The use of nanomedicine for cancer treatment takes advantage of its preferential
accumulation in tumors owing to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. The …

The development of biodegradable polymers represents a revolution in medicine spanning
over 50 years and leading to significant biotechnological advancements in drug delivery …

In patients with glioblastoma, resistance to the chemotherapeutic temozolomide (TMZ) limits
any survival benefits conferred by the drug. Here we show that the convection-enhanced …

Passive targeting is the foremost mechanism by which nanocarriers and drug-bearing
macromolecules deliver their payload selectively to solid tumors. An important driver of …

Polysaccharides are natural biological molecules that have numerous advantages for
theranostics, the integrated approach of therapeutics and diagnostics. Their derivable …

The non-invasive photodynamic therapy has been limited to treat superficial tumours,
primarily ascribed to poor tissue penetration of light as the energy source. Herein, we …

The polysaccharide-based advanced drug delivery system owing to their biocompatibility,
ability to encapsulate the drug molecules in their interspaces, and ability to achieve a …

The conventional chemotherapeutic agents, used for cancer chemotherapy, have major
limitations including non-specificity, ubiquitous biodistribution, low concentration in tumor …

In recent years, nanoparticles (NPs) derived from the self-assembly of natural
polysaccharides have shown great potential in the biomedical field. Here, we described …
