This review summarizes the latest advancements in phytochemicals as functional antiviral
agents. We focused on flavonoids, like apigenin, vitexin, quercetin, rutin and naringenin …

Over the past few decades, there has been a considerable research interest in drug
nanocrystal system as a pharmaceutical approach for poorly soluble drugs. At the beginning …

Drug delivery has been greatly improved over the years by means of chemical and physical
agents that increase bioavailability, improve pharmacokinetic and reduce toxicities. At the …

Attachment of nanoparticles (NPs) to the surface of carrier red blood cells (RBCs) profoundly
alters their interactions with the host organism, decelerating NP clearance from the …

Red blood cells (RBCs) can be used for vascular delivery of encapsulated or surface-bound
drugs and carriers. Coupling to RBC prolongs circulation of nanoparticles (NP, 200 nm …

Multidisciplinary research efforts in the field of drug delivery have led to the development of
a variety of drug delivery systems (DDS) designed for site-specific delivery of diagnostic and …

The use of a physiological carrier to deliver therapeutics throughout the body to both
improve their efficacy while minimising inevitable adverse side effects, is an extremely …

Blood and the linings of blood vessels may be regarded as a fifth tissue type. The human
body contains 5× 10 9 red blood cells (RBCs) per ml, a total of 2.5× 10 13 cells in the 5 l of …

The application of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) in drug delivery,
magnetic resonance imaging, cell tracking, and hyperthermia has been long exploited …

Aim: Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is highly promising for biomedical applications, but
optimal tracers for MPI, namely superparamagnetic iron oxide-based contrast agents, are …
