Objectives: Lipid nanoparticles, as a nucleic acid delivery system, have been used as an alternative to treat ocular diseases, since they can cross the ocular barrier and efficiently transfecting nucleic acids to various cells of the eye. The size influences the transfection of genes, biological distribution, diffusion, and cellular uptake. It is therefore important to establish a relationship between size, formulation, and encapsulation percentage.

Article Synopsis
  • - Pancreatic cancer has a high mortality rate, and the standard first-line treatment is a combination of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine, but more effective therapies are needed to improve patient outcomes.
  • - A review analyzed seven studies investigating the combination of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine with other agents like ibrutinib and cisplatin to determine their efficacy and safety for treating pancreatic cancer.
  • - The review suggests that while these combinations show promise, further research is necessary to assess the safety and effectiveness of these triple regimens for patients with untreated metastatic pancreatic cancer.
