Recent advances of nanocrystals in cancer theranostics

Abstract

Emerging cancer cases across the globe and treating them with conventional therapies with multiple limitations have been challenging for decades. Novel drug delivery systems and alternative theranostics are required for...

Theoretical and modelling investigation of pendant groups effect on quantum interference for single-molecule junctions

“…These results may introduce OPE-5 molecule as a promise candidate for the encryption and medical applications. 67,68 One of the most important parameters in optoelectronics applications is the emission oscillator strength ( f em ). 69 Theoretically, for a given PL material, f em is directly proportional to the emission cross section ( σ em ) and it is given by: 70 where e is the electron charge, ε 0 is the vacuum permittivity, m e is the mass of electron, c 0 is the speed of light, n F is the refractive index of the gain material, ν is the frequency of the corresponding emission, and g ( ν ) is the normalized line shape function with ∫ g ( ν )d ν = 1.…”

Nanomedicines: Emerging Platforms in Smart Chemotherapy Treatment—A Recent Review

“…For example, cellulose nanocrystals loaded with 5-fluorouracil, and salinomycin nanocrystals showed promising results in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Another study demonstrated the efficacy of albumin-coated carfilzomib nanocrystals in breast cancer therapy [ 92 ].…”

Nano-scale drug delivery systems for luteolin: advancements and applications

“…Nanocrystals offer advantages in drug delivery due to their high drug-loading capacity, simplified preparation process, and improved bioavailability. 130,131 In a study, the surface of Lu nanocrystals was modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), resulting in remarkable stability in the liquid state within 30 days (Table 5). 127 Furthermore, the SDS modification facilitated the opening of tight junctions between caco-2 cells, thereby promoting the transmembrane transport of Lu.…”
