Harnessing inhaled nanoparticles to overcome the pulmonary barrier for respiratory disease therapy

A biomimetic camouflaged metal organic framework for enhanced siRNA delivery in the tumor environment

“…Harnessing the potential of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), researchers have embarked on a novel approach to siRNA delivery by camouflaging MOFs with cancer cell membranes. 119 MOFs coated with cancer cell membranes are rendered inherently ''familiar'' to the tumor microenvironment. 120 This camouflaging not only aids in evading the body's immune defenses but also enhances the targeted delivery of siRNA directly to tumor sites.…”

Semiconducting polymer dots for multifunctional integrated nanomedicine carriers

“…Nanomedicine, an innovative and rapidly advancing field at the nexus of nanotechnology and medical science, shows immense potential in transforming healthcare [ 388 , [478] , [479] , [480] ]. Pdots have notably risen as a multifaceted nanomaterial platform, finding applications in drug delivery, medical imaging, and various therapeutic interventions [ 455 , [118] , [144] , [481] , [482] ].…”

Rutin-Loaded Carbon Dots for Management of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Lung Infection

“…One potential solution to this problem is the use of inhaled nanomedicines that have the capacity for localized and precise drug delivery to the lungs to treat pulmonary infections. The respiratory route of administration hold tremendous promise for treatment of MRSA-induced lung infections …”

“…The respiratory route of administration hold tremendous promise for treatment of MRSA-induced lung infections. 4 Carbon dots (CDs) are carbon-based nanoparticles with diameters of 2−10 nm that possess functionalized surfaces. 5−8 CDs have numerous advantages over other nanoparticle classes because of their easy preparation, stable fluorescence, and good water stability and biocompatibility.…”
