Nano-carriers and their drug release
One of the hottest fields in biomedicine research is to encapsulate drugs and release them in particular organs by using nano-platform.Because nanoparticles can enter most cancer cells easily and accumulate inside the cells,drug-loaded nanoparticles with targeting modification can help to increase t...

| Summary: | One of the hottest fields in biomedicine research is to encapsulate drugs and release them in particular organs by using nano-platform.Because nanoparticles can enter most cancer cells easily and accumulate inside the cells,drug-loaded nanoparticles with targeting modification can help to increase the drug concentration in lesion position,enhancing the drug effects and reducing the toxicity.In general,drug-loaded nanoparticles release drugs by diffusion or erosion.There are many ways to stimulate the release of drugs from nanoparticles,including pH,enzyme,light,magnetism,and ultrasound responses.This article reviews the principle and recent advances of drug-loaded nanoparticles. |
