Nanomedicine is an advanced version of Paul Ehrlich's “magic bullet” concept. Targeted
drug delivery is a system of specifying the drug moiety directly into its targeted body area …

Nanotechnology has been actively integrated as drug carriers over the last few years to treat
various cancers. The main hurdle in the clinical management of cancer is the development …

Infectious diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with viruses in particular
making global impact on healthcare and socioeconomic development. In addition, the rapid …

Poly (lactic‐co‐glycolic acid)(PLGA) copolymers have been broadly used in controlled drug
release applications. Because these polymers are biodegradable, they provide an attractive …

Starch, as a widely available renewable resource, has the potential to be used in the
production of controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) that support sustainable agriculture …

The effectiveness of anticancer agents may be hindered by low solubility in water, poor
permeability, and high efflux from cells. Nanomaterials have been used to enable drug …

The first part of this review looks at the fundamental properties of hydroxyapatite (HAP), the
basic mineral constituent of mammalian hard tissues, including the physicochemical …

Polymers were first introduced three decades ago as bioresorbable surgical devices. Since
then, polymer-based nanoparticles have been extensively studied in a variety of fields …

Pharmaceutical nano-fibers have attracted widespread attention from researchers for
reasons such as adaptability of the electro-spinning process and ease of production. As a …

Background Controlled release and targeted delivery of the drug payload are the two most
fascinating applications of nanoparticle-based systems explored in the recent past. The …
