Abstract

Efficient and controlled delivery of therapeutics to tumor cells is one of the important issues in cancer therapy. In the present work, a series of pH- and temperature-responsive polymer grafted iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by simple coupling of aminated iron oxide nanoparticle with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-ran-poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate)-block-poly(acrylic acid) (P(NIPA-r-PEGMEA)-b-PAA). For this, three water soluble block polymers were prepared via reversible addition fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization technique. At first, three different block copolymers were prepared by polymerizing mixture of NIPA and PEGMEA (with varying mole ratio) in presence of poly(tert-butyl acrylate) (PtBA) macro chain transfer agent. Subsequently, P(NIPA-r-PEGMEA)-b-PAA copolymers were synthesized by hydrolyzing tert-butyl acrylate groups of the P(NIPA-r-PEGMEA)-b-PtBA copolymers. The resulting polymers were then grafted to iron oxide nanoparticles, and these functionalized nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), zeta potential measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), vibrating sa...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
