Sustainable microalgal biomass as a potential functional food and its applications in food industry: a comprehensive review.

Microalgae (MA) are the most abundant seaweeds with high nutritional properties. They are accepted as potential biocatalysts for the bioremediation of wastewater. They are widely used in food, feed, and biofuel industries and can potentially be food for future generations.

MUC1 aptamer-tethered H40-TEPA-PEG nanoconjugates for targeted siRNA-delivery and gene silencing in breast cancer cells.

With a prevalence of 12.5% of all new cancer cases annually, breast cancer stands as the most common form of cancer worldwide. The current therapies utilized for breast cancer are constrained and ineffective in addressing the condition.

Lipid polymer hybrid nanoparticles: a custom-tailored next-generation approach for cancer therapeutics.

Lipid-based polymeric nanoparticles are the highly popular carrier systems for cancer drug therapy. But presently, detailed investigations have revealed their flaws as drug delivery carriers. Lipid polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPHNPs) are advanced core-shell nanoconstructs with a polymeric core region enclosed by a lipidic layer, presumed to be derived from both liposomes and polymeric nanounits.

GLUT1 transporter-facilitated solid lipid nanoparticles loaded with anti-cancer therapeutics for ovarian cancer targeting.

The therapeutics available for cancer treatment have the major hurdle of site-specific delivery of anti-cancer drugs to the tumor site and non-target specific side effects. The standard therapy for ovarian cancer still poses numerous pitfalls due to the irrational use of drugs affecting healthy cells. As an appealing approach, nanomedicine could revamp the therapeutic profile of anti-cancer agents.

Targeted silencing of the MCL-1 gene using multi-layered dendrimer-based nanoconstructs achieves efficient tumor regression in xenografted mice models.

The setback in the practical clinical use of RNA interference (RNAi)-based cancer treatment stems from the lack of targeted small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery. Here, we show that luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone(LHRH) analog-tethered multi-layered polyamidoamine (PAMAM) nanoconstructs silence the anti-apoptotic MCL-1 gene in LHRH receptor overexpressing human breast (MCF-7) and prostate cancer (LNCaP) cells with 70.91 % and 74.
