SECM Investigation on the Effect of ZnO Nanoparticles on Nasopharyngeal Cancer Cell Respiration

Prasanth R., Gopinath D., Pondicherry Central University, IN

In recent years, there is an overwhelming interest in using nanoparticle for cancer therapy. Many reports show selective cytotoxicity of nanoparticles over cancer cells. However, the mechanism of such behavior is yet to be discovered. [...]

Cancer cell targeting of lipid gene vectors by protein corona

Caracciolo G., Pozzi D., Capriotti A.L., Cavaliere C., Cardarelli F., Bifone A., Laganà A., Sapienza University of Rome, IT

We investigated the compositional evolution of the protein corona of 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium propane (DOTAP) cationic liposomes (CLs) that efficiently deliver DNA in a wide variety of cell lines as a function of increasing human plasma (HP) [...]
