Liposomes and polymers are widely used drug carriers for controlled release since they offer many advantages like increased treatment effectiveness, reduced toxicity of biodegradable nature. In this work, anticancer drug-loaded PLGA-lecithin-PEG nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized functionalized with AS1411 anti-nucleolin aptamers site-specific targeting against tumor cells which over expresses nucleolin receptors. The particles characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM) X-ray...

Nanomedicine utilizes engineered nanodevices and nanostructures for monitoring, repair, construction control of human biological systems at the molecular level. In this study, we investigated feasibility potential zein nanofiber as a delivery vehicle curcumin in biomedical applications. By optimizing electrospinning parameters, ultrafine fluorescence nanofibers containing were developed with interconnected fibrous networks. We found that these show an increase due to incorporation curcumin....
