Abstract Enzymotherapy based on DNase I or RNase A has often been suggested as an optional strategy for cancer treatment. The efficacy of such procedures is limited e.g. by a short half-time the enzymes low rate their internalization. use nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), helps to overcome these limits. Specifically, biologically produced AuNPs represent interesting variant here due naturally occurring capping agents (CA) surface. composition CA depends producing microorganism. CAs...
Abstract The enormous therapeutic potential of selective ribonucleic acid (RNA) interference has recently been manifested by the approval several small interfering RNA (siRNA)‐based drugs. However, efficacy siRNA delivery is still limited, and an extensive search for alternative highly effective approaches ongoing. With this aim, three generations non‐viral vectors based on modified nanodiamonds (NDs) have gradually developed in past decade. They show great promise due to negligible toxicity...
Abstract The biologically produced gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are novel carriers with promising use in targeted tumor therapy.
