Surfactants Nanocarriers to Enhanced oil Recovery (EOR)

The use organic surfactant nanocarriers as interfacial tension reducing agents is proposed in this work. These particles are able to permeate into the pores of the reservoir and release the surfactant by solubilization of the [...]

Nanocarriers for Cancer Therapy

Vergaro V., Zheng X., Zheng Z., Zheng X., Zheng Z., Lvov Y.M., Giovinazzo G., Santino A., Cingolani R., Rinaldi R., Leporatti S., National Nanotechnology Laboratory (NNL) of CNR-INFM, IT

Drug nano-colloids encapsulated by combination of layer by layer (LbL) techniques and ultrasonication, phytochemical encapsulated-artificial oleosomes and drug-loading clay nanotubes have been uptaken by neoplastic cells. Morpho- mechanical changes induced by such nanocarriers in living [...]

Modified glycol chitosan nanocarriers carry hydrophobic materials into tumours

Raza A., de-la Fuente M., Uchegbu I.F., Schätzlein A., Nuclear Medicines Oncology & Radiotherapy Institute, PK

Etoposide is a potent anticancer drug commonly used in a variety of malignancies. High protein binding, requirement of fairly high doses of drugs to achieve sustained plasma levels and hypersensitivty issues are related to its [...]

Use of PBMC Partitioning to Predict RES-Uptake of a Nanoemulsion in a Colon Cancer Xenograft

Devalapally H., Clogston J.D., Amiji M.M., McNeil S., Stern S.T., SAIC-Frederick, National Cancer Institute at Frederick, US

Nanotechnology platforms have emerged as versatile carrier systems for delivery of active molecules to tumors. Nanoparticle-based formulations have demonstrated enhanced efficacy and decreased toxicity in comparison to conventional drugs. These carrier systems often encounter rapid [...]
