Inflammation plays an important role in the response to danger signals arising from damage
to our body and in restoring homeostasis. Dysregulated inflammatory responses occur in …

Over the past three decades, the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect has
been considered the basis of tumor-targeted drug delivery. Various cancer nanomedicines …

An inconvenient hurdle in the practice of nanomedicine is the protein corona, a spontaneous
collection of biomolecular species by nanoparticles in living systems. The protein corona is …

Nanomaterial (NM) delivery to solid tumors has been the focus of intense research for over a
decade. Classically, scientists have tried to improve NM delivery by employing passive or …

Nanoparticles are often engineered as a scaffolding system to combine targeting, imaging
and/or therapeutic moieties into a unitary agent. However, mostly overlooked, the …

Skin cancer is a global threat to the healthcare system and is estimated to incline
tremendously in the next 20 years, if not diagnosed at an early stage. Even though it is …

Photothermal therapy (PTT) has attracted extensive research attention as a noninvasive and
selective treatment strategy for numerous cancers. PTT functions via photothermal effects …

Delivering cancer therapeutics to tumors necessitates their escape from the surrounding
blood vessels. Tumor vasculatures are not always sufficiently leaky. Herein, we engineer …

The nonradiative conversion of light energy into heat (photothermal therapy, PTT) or sound
energy (photoacoustic imaging, PAI) has been intensively investigated for the treatment and …

Noncancerous diseases include a wide plethora of medical conditions beyond cancer and
are a major cause of mortality around the world. Despite progresses in clinical research …
