Abstract Therapeutic antibodies (e.g., trastuzumab, TRA) against human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)‐positive breast cancers have shown benefits in controlling primary tumors, yet are ineffective brain metastases due to their inability cross the blood‐brain barrier (BBB). A novel hybrid nanoconstruct system is designed deliver trastuzumab metastasis of HER2‐positive cancer via a two‐step sequential targeting approach. Self‐assembly polysorbate 80 (PS 80)‐containing polymer,...

Chitosans are naturally occurring biologically safe and non-toxic polymer of polysaccharides. In the present study, Chitosan [(1-4) 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucan] was extracted from exoskeleton Black Tiger (Penaeus monodon) shrimp shells by alkaline deacetylation chitin. Three different chitosan extracts, coded as Chito A (3.33% w/w), B (4.01% w/w) C (3.45% were using 3%, 4% 5% w/v concentrations HCl decalcifiers respectively. Physicochemical properties such appearance, odor, insolubility pH...
