Development of advanced osteoinductive stimuli-responsive core/shell nanocarriers for use in bone tissue regeneration. Hasselt University
NEED - Bioresponsive nanocarriers as a therapy for cancer and wound healing. Hasselt University
Evaluation of small interfering RNA delivery via nano-particle-laden cells tumoritrope Ghent University
The project proposes a novel delivery strategy to maximize in vivo delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) loaded nanocarriers to tumor tissue. Hybrid core-shell nanoparticles are envisioned, consisting of a siRNA loaded matrix core that is surrounded by a functionalized lipid bilayer. The resulting nanoparticles will be characterized in depth with regard to their physicochemical properties and intracellular siRNA delivery potential. In a ...
DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF MULTILAYER MIXED-ACTION NANOPARTICLES KU Leuven
The use of nanotechnology in cancer therapy has attracted growing attention over the past decade. Many drug nanocarriers offering considerable advantages over conventional chemotherapy have been developed. Some nanomedicines are already in use in the clinics (eg.Abraxane and Doxil). Although chemotherapy is fatal for almost all cells in a tumour, a small percentage of cells can appear resistant. It has been shown that overexpression of drug ...
