Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology to discipline medicine: use nanoscale materials for diagnosis, monitoring, control, prevention, and treatment disease. holds tremendous promise revolutionize medicine across disciplines specialties, but this has yet be fully realized. Beyond typical complications associated with drug development, fundamentally different novel physical chemical properties some nanomaterials compared on a larger scale (i.e., their bulk counterparts) can create...
In the present study, we evaluated polyethylenimine (PEI) of different molecular weights (MWs) as a DNA complexing agent for its efficiency in transfecting nondifferentiated COS-1 (green monkey fibroblasts) and well-differentiated human submucosal airway epithelial cells (Calu-3). Studying effect particle size, zeta potential, presence serum proteins or chloroquine, it appeared that transfection depends on experimental conditions not MW PEI used. Comparing efficiencies both cell lines, found...
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been known to play an important role in wound healing process. However, the effect of molecular weight (MW) exogenously administered HA on process not fully understood. In this study, we investigated with different MWs using human epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts. Cell proliferation migration ability were assessed by water soluble tetrazolium (WST) assay scratch assay. We examined addition a full-thickness model mice gene expression related healing....
Nanoparticles (NPs) assumed an important role in the area of drug delivery. Despite number studies including NPs are growing over last years, their side effects on immune system often ignored or omitted. One most studied polymers nano based delivery field is chitosan (Chit). In scientific literature, although physicochemical properties [molecular weight (MW) deacetylation degree (DDA)] chitosan, endotoxin contamination and appropriate testing controls rarely reported, they can strongly...
The therapeutic efficacy and adverse impacts of nanoparticles (NPs) are strongly dependent on their systemic circulation time. corona proteins adsorbed the NPs determine plasma half-lives, hence, it is crucial to identify shortening or extending In this work, in vivo time composition superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIONs) with different surface charges/chemistries were analyzed over SPIONs neutral positive charges showed longest shortest times, respectively. most striking observation was that...
Solid tumors such as glioblastoma (GBM) exhibit hypoxic zones that are associated with poor prognosis and immunosuppression through multiple cell intrinsic mechanisms. However, release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) has the potential to transmit molecular cargos between cells. If cancer cells use EVs suppress functions macrophages under adequate oxygenation, this could be an important underlying mechanism contributing immunosuppressive immunologically cold tumor microenvironment GBM.
