Article Synopsis
- Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are promising for biomedical uses, including targeted drug delivery and molecular imaging, due to their low cost, biocompatibility, and ability to improve ultrasound contrast.* -
- The study focuses on creating a SiNPs-based system that targets hepatocellular carcinoma cells by attaching a special peptide that binds to a protein called glypican-3 (GPC-3).* -
- Experimental results demonstrate that the GPC-3-functionalized SiNPs enhance ultrasound imaging contrast and are absorbed by cancer cells without harming their viability.*
Pharmaco-economic issues in the treatment of severe osteoporosis.

January 2010
Introduction: clinical guidelines recommend to identify and treat people at high risk of fracture.
Methods: we have carried out a simulation concerning pharmaco-economic issues in the treatment of severe osteoporosis and particularly those people with previous femoral fragility fractures, assuming that only 13.1% of hip fractured patients had started a proper antifracture therapy, as shown by the analysis of the Tuscany regional database.
