Abstract:Infectious and cancerous diseases are tedious to manage. The problem of drug resistance is often associated with anti-microbial and anti-cancer agents and is one of the most significant challenges that restrict their activity. Therefore, it is necessary to increase doses or drug combinations. However, introducing drugs in this way is often ineffective due to poor solubility, low bioavailability, reduced stability, and different drug pharmacokinetic parameters. Vesicular nanocarriers are considered promising fo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
