Tumoricidal photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) therapies harness light to
eliminate cancer cells with spatiotemporal precision by either generating reactive oxygen …

The tumor accumulation of nanomedicines relies on the enhanced permeability and
retention (EPR) effect. In the last 5–10 years, it has been increasingly recognized that there …

An effective nanotherapeutic transport from the vasculature to the tumour is crucial for
cancer treatment with minimal side effects. Here we demonstrate that, in addition to the …

Nanotechnology offers new solutions for the development of cancer therapeutics that display
improved efficacy and safety. Although several nanotherapeutics have received clinical …

The intrinsic limits of conventional cancer therapies prompted the development and
application of various nanotechnologies for more effective and safer cancer treatment …

The effectiveness of anticancer drugs in treating a solid tumour is dependent on delivery of
the drug to virtually all cancer cells in the tumour. The distribution of drug in tumour tissue …

Liposomes and polymersomes are colloidal vesicles that are self-assembled from lipids and
amphiphilic polymers, respectively. Because of their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic …

Tumor targeting by nanomedicine-based therapeutics has emerged as a promising
approach to overcome the lack of specificity of conventional chemotherapeutic agents and to …

Nanotechnology offers several attractive design features that have prompted its exploration
for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Nanosized drugs have a large loading capacity, the …

Nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems (NBDDS) are widely used to improve the safety
and therapeutic efficacy of encapsulated drugs due to their unique physicochemical and …
