The synthesis and structure of an azobenzene functionalized isoreticular metal–organic
framework (azo-IRMOF-74-III)[Mg2 (C26H16O6N2)] are described and the ability to …

A long-standing goal of nanomedicine is to improve a drug's benefit by loading it into a
nanocarrier that homes solely to a specific target cell and organ. Unfortunately, nanocarriers …

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 …

Drug delivery using natural biological carriers, especially erythrocytes, is a rapidly
developing field. Such erythrocytes can act as carriers that prolong the drug's action due to …

Erythrocytes are potential biocompatible vectors for different bioactive substances, including
drugs. These can be used successfully as biological carriers of drugs, enzymes and …

Carrier erythrocytes, resealed erythrocytes loaded by a drug or other therapeutic agents,
have been exploited extensively in recent years for both temporally and spatially controlled …
