Precision nanoparticles for drug delivery, cell therapy tracking, and theranostics by Felder-Flesch, Delphine, Talamini, Laura, Muller, Sylviane

“…Smart design and building of nanoparticles through appropriate surface chemistry and functionalization provide a material that possesses multifunctional capabilities, able to specifically interact with a selected target, release a compound in a controlled and sustained way, and overcome, if desired, biological barriers such as the blood–brain barrier or lung barriers of interest. Unique constructions have thus opened up original and innovative possibilities in biotechnological and biomedical fields such as imaging, biosensors, rapid diagnostics, drug delivery, medical implants, and tissue engineering. …”

Dysregulation of Metabolic Peptides Precedes Hyperinsulinemia and Inflammation Following Exposure to Rotenone in Rats by Vandana Zaman, Denise Matzelle, Naren L. Banik, Azizul Haque
