Ferri-Liposomes: Preformulation and Selective Cytotoxicity against A549 Lung Cancer Cells.

Liposomes have become successful nanostructured systems used in clinical practices. These vesicles are able to carry important drug loadings with noteworthy stability. The aim of this work was to develop iron oxide-loaded stealth liposomes as a prospective alternative for the treatment of lung cancer.

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles: preparation, characterization, and evaluation of their potential use in bone targeting: an animal study.

Objective: Hydroxyapatite is used as a drug-delivery system for bone therapy applications because of its biocompatibility, bioactivity, and osteoconductive properties. In addition, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HApN) might be used as a theranostic probe. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize hydroxyapatite mesoporous nanoparticles, and radiolabel these nanoparticles with technetium-99m (Tc).
