Background: Serious side effects caused by paclitaxel formulation, containing toxic
solubilizer Cremophor® EL, and its nonspecific accumulation greatly limit clinical paclitaxel …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) in oncology is characterized by low invasiveness, minimal side
effects, and little tissue scarring. Increasing the selectivity of PDT agents toward a cellular …

Currently, molecular dynamics simulation is being widely applied to predict drug–polymer
interaction, and to optimize drug delivery systems. Our study describes a combination of in …

Background Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) nanoparticles are of potential
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for tumor diagnosis. However, ultrasmall …

Exendin-4 (Ex-4) is an incretin mimetic agent approved for diabetes treatment and neuronal
protection. However, the required frequent injections restrict its clinical application. We …

The conventional targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic and diagnostic agents utilizing
nanocarriers is a promising approach for cancer theranostics. Unfortunately, this approach …

Electrospinning of biomimetic materials is of particular interest due to the possibility of
producing flexible layers with highly developed surfaces from a wide range of polymers …

In this study, we described physico-chemical properties of novel nanoformulation of
photosensitizer-pyropheophorbide α 17-diethylene glycol ester (XL)(chlorophyll α …

The aggregation behavior of a novel amphiphilic photosensitizer-pyropheophorbide-a 17-
diethylene glycol ester 1 was studied in aqueous and aqueous-organic mixtures by means …

The calcium-carbonate-induced mineralization of multilayer shells of emulsion capsules,
formed using layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolytes, has been investigated. Optimal …
