  1. 1. Carbon nanotubes in nanomedicine

    Författare :Ramy El-Sayed; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The development of nanomedicine is based primarily on the development of smart and multifunctional nanomaterials that can serve under the different clusters including drug delivery systems, diagnostics, and regenerative medicine. Recently, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have received enormous attention due to their extraordinary properties. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Engineering Nanotherapeutic Strategies for Osteoarthritis Treatment

    Författare :Ula von Mentzer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; nanoparticles; nanomedicine; cartilage; osteoarthritis;

    Sammanfattning : Osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent joint disorder, is characterized by the degeneration of cartilage tissue leading to pain, stiffness, and impaired mobility. Primarily affecting the elderly, OA can also impact athletes, postmenopausal women, and individuals with conditions like diabetes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. In vitro characterization of nanodrugs at model lipid membranes

    Författare :Rickard Frost; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; in vitro screening; nanomedicine; drug delivery; drug carrier; supported lipid bilayer; QCM-D; nanoparticle; cell membrane;

    Sammanfattning : The use of nano-sized drug carriers to improve the efficiency of drug delivery has become well established during the past decades. New nanoparticle (NP) formulations for the administration of biopharmaceuticals (e.g. proteins and peptides) emerge at an increasing rate and the need for methods to evaluate their properties is expanding.
