Surface engineered nano architectonics: An evolving paradigm for tackling Alzheimer's disease.

As per the World Health Organization (WHO) estimation, Alzheimer's disease (AD) will affect 100 million population across the globe by 2050. AD is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that remains a mystery for neurologists owing to its complex pathophysiology. Currently, available therapeutic regimens will only cause symptomatic relief by improving the cognitive and behavioral functions of AD.

Unravelling the role of tumor microenvironment responsive nanobiomaterials in spatiotemporal controlled drug delivery for lung cancer therapy.

Design and development of efficient drug delivery technologies that impart site-specificity is the need of the hour for the effective treatment of lung cancer. The emergence of materials science and nanotechnology partially helped drug delivery scientists to achieve this objective. Various stimuli-responsive materials that undergo degradation at the pathological tumor microenvironment (TME) have been developed and explored for drug delivery applications using nanotechnological approaches.

Amelioration of breast cancer therapies through normalization of tumor vessels and microenvironment: paradigm shift to improve drug perfusion and nanocarrier permeation.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. Chemo-, immune- and photothermal therapies are employed to manage BC. However, the tumor microenvironment (TME) prevents free drugs and nanocarriers (NCs) from entering the tumor premises.

Exploration of Abiraterone acetate loaded Nanostructured lipid carriers for bioavailability improvement and circumvention of fast-fed variability.

Abiraterone acetate (ABA), a biopharmaceutical class IV drug suffers from solubility and permeability pitfalls resulting in limited oral bioavailability and positive food effect, i.e. multi-fold enhancement in drug absorption in the presence of food.

Quality by design empowered preparation of itraconazole albumin nanoparticles for prostate cancer.

The current advent explores the potential of itraconazole (ITR) in prostate cancer (PCa), by its incorporation into albumin nanoparticles (NP). ITR as a repurposed moiety has displayed tremendous potential in various cancers. However, poor aqueous solubility poses hurdles towards its clinical translation.
