Malignant transformation and growth of the tumor mass tend to induce changes in the
surrounding microenvironment. Abnormality of the tumor microenvironment provides a …

Carvacrol is a monoterpenic phenol produced by an abundant number of aromatic plants,
including thyme and oregano. Presently, carvacrol is used in low concentrations as a food …

Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) is one of the most used polymers for drug delivery systems
(DDSs). It shows excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and allows spatio-temporal …

Many multicellular systems problems can only be understood by studying how cells move,
grow, divide, interact, and die. Tissue-scale dynamics emerge from systems of many …

Background: Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a synthetic chemical ubiquitous in the serum
of US residents. It causes liver, testicular, and pancreatic tumors in rats. Human studies are …

Targeted drug delivery to tumor sites is one of the ultimate goals in drug delivery. Recent
progress in nanoparticle engineering has certainly improved drug targeting, but the results …

Abstract Quantum dots (QDs), nano-carriers for drugs, can help realize the targeting of
drugs, and improve the bioavailability of drugs in biological fields. And, a QD nano-carrier …

The delivery of therapeutic molecules to the brain remains an unsolved problem to the
researchers due to the existence of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), which halts the entry of …

Nanomedical approaches are a major transforming factor in medical diagnosis and
therapies. Based on important earlier work in the field of liposomal drug delivery and …

For decades tumors have been recognized as “wounds that do not heal.” Besides the
commonalities that tumors and wounded tissues share, the process of wound healing also …
