We report on the development of a new curcumin-loaded nanoemulsion (CUR-NEM) that is highly effective in preventing post-surgery tumor reincidence and metastasis.
Here we report the incorporation of gold nanostructures (nanospheres or nanorods, functionalized with carboxylate-end PEG) and curcumin oil-in-water (O/W) nanoemulsions (CurNem) into alginate microgels using dripping technique. While are promising nanomaterials for photothermal therapy applications, CurNem possess important pharmacological activities as reported here. In this sense, evaluated effect on cell viability both cancerous non-cancerous lines (AGS HEK293T, respectively),...
Here we report on the design and characterization of calcium-alginate microgels (MGs) containing positively charged iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) negatively oil-in-water (O/W) nanocarriers (NCs). To provide ionic compatibility IONPs with NCs alginate in MGs, they were coated anionic polysaccharides alginate, carrageenan or sulfobutyl-β-cyclodextrin. The mixing both nanostructures (coated-IONPs O/W NCs) solutions homogeneous dispersions able to form spherical hydrogels different sizes...
