Abstract:Tumor metastasis is a complex process that is controlled at the molecular level by numerous cytokines.
Primary breast and prostate tumors most commonly metastasize to bone, and the development of increasingly
accurate targeted nanocarrier systems has become a research focus for more effective anti-bone metastasis
therapy. This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms of bone metastasis and the principles and
methods for designing bone-targeted nanocarriers and then provides an in-depth review of bone-targete… Show more
