The reaction between carbon dioxide and epoxides is an attractive pathway for CO2-
utilisation as it can lead to the formation of two different, yet valuable, products: cyclic and …

A cycloparaphenylene can be thought of as the shortest possible cross section of an
armchair carbon nanotube. Although envisioned decades ago, these molecules—also …

Aliphatic polycarbonates have drawn attention as biodegradable polymers that can be
applied to a broad range of resorbable medical devices. In particular, poly (trimethylene …

Multicellular tumor spheroid models (MCTS) are often coined as 3D in vitro models that can
mimic the microenvironment of tissues. MCTS have gained increasing interest in the nano …

Despite that great progression has been made in nanoparticulate drug delivery systems
(nano-DDS), multiple drug delivery dilemmas still impair the delivery efficiency of …

The application of nanotechnology to medicine, usually termed nanomedicine, has given a
crucial impulse to the design of various drug-loaded nanocarriers driven by the aim to …

The treatment of glioma is a great challenge because of the existence of the blood-brain
barrier (BBB). In order to reduce toxicity to the normal brain tissue and achieve efficient …

Based on the facilitative glucose transporter (GLUT) over-expression on both blood–brain
barrier (BBB) and glioma cells, 2-deoxy-d-glucose modified poly (ethylene glycol)-co-poly …

The binding site barrier (BSB) was originally proposed to describe the binding behavior of
antibodies to cells peripheral to blood vessels, preventing their further penetration into the …

Over the past few decades, nanoengineered particles have gained increasing interest for
applications in the biomedical realm, including diagnosis, imaging, and therapy. When …
