Metallic nanoparticles: technology overview & drug delivery applications in oncology

Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery
Mohammad Zaki AhmadRoop Krishen Khar

Abstract

The targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to tumour cells is a challenge because most of the chemotherapeutic agents distribute to the whole body, which results in general toxicity and poor acceptance by patients and sometimes discontinuation of the treatment. Metallic nanoparticles have been used for a huge number of applications in various areas of medical treatment. Metallic nanoparticles are emerging as new carrier and contrast agents in cancer treatment. These metallic nanoparticles have been used for imaging of tumour cells by means of active and passive targeting. Recent advances have opened the way to site-specific targeting and drug delivery by these nanoparticles. This review summarizes the mechanisms of passive and active targeted drug delivery by metallic nanoparticles and their potential use in cancer theranostics. The reader will gain information on the development of tumour cells, advantages of modern methods of cancer treatment over the traditional method, targeted delivery of anticancer agents using nanoparticles, influence of nanotechnology on the quality and expectancy of life, and challenges, implications and future prospects of metallic nanoparticles as probes in cancer treatment. The development of metal...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
