Enhancement of gemcitabine against pancreatic cancer by loading in mesoporous silica vesicles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Gemcitabine (Gem) is currently the first-line chemotherapeutic drug in management of pancreatic cancer, however the therapeutic efficacy of Gem is limited due to its short half-life and poor cell membrane permeability. ...
Magnetic mesoporous nanospheres anchored with LyP-1 as an efficient pancreatic cancer probe
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Immobilization of a ligand that selectively interacts with cancer cells to nanomaterials can enhance their diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency. In this study, we firstly demonstrate the high expression of receptor for ...
Cellulose nanofibers to assist the release of healing agents in epoxy coatings
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Epoxy monomer and amine curing agents were immobilized on cellulose nanofibers (CNF). Obtained epoxy immobilized CNF (EiCNF) and amine curing agent immobilized CNF (AiCNF) were characterized using Fourier transform infrared ...
