Cancer
Report summarizes cancer study findings from T. Betancourt and co-researchers
March 19th, 2009
According to recent research from the United States, "Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems are considered promising for the delivery of imaging agents and drugs for the detection and treatment of illnesses, including cancer. Investigation of nanoparticle interactions with the diseased cells can lead to better designs." "In this work, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles loaded with rhodamine 6G were prepared by nanoprecipitation with high encapsulation efficiency. In vitro release studies demonstrated that rhodamine escaped from the nanoparticles at a very slow rate at physiological pH, thus making it ideal for imaging studies. At acidic pH this agent was...
