The increasing prevalence of cancer drug resistance not only critically limits the efficiency of traditional therapies but also causes relapses or recurrences of cancer. Consequently, there remains an urgent need to address the intricate landscape of drug resistance beyond traditional cancer therapies. Recently, nanotechnology has played an important role in the field of various drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer, especially therapy-resistant cancer. Among advanced nanomedicine technologies, lipid-based nanomaterials have emerged as effective drug carriers for cancer treatment, significantly improving therapeutic effects. Due to their biocompatibility, simplicity of preparation, and potential for functionalization, lipid-based nanomaterials are considered powerful competitors for resistant cancer. In this review, an overview of lipid-based nanomaterials for addressing cancer resistance is discussed. We summarize the recent progress in overcoming drug resistance in cancer by these lipid-based nanomaterials, and highlight their potential in future applications to reverse cancer resistance.

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) improves the quality of life for those living with the human immunodeficiency virus type one (HIV-1). However, poor compliance reduces ART effectiveness and leads to immune compromise, viral mutations, and disease co-morbidities. Here we develop a drug formulation in which a lipid-based nanoparticle (LBNP) carrying rilpivirine (RPV) is decorated with the C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) targeting peptide.

mRNA-based vaccines against the COVID-19 pandemic have propelled the use of nucleic acids for drug delivery. Conventional lipid-based carriers, such as liposomes and nanolipogels, effectively encapsulate and deliver RNA but are hindered by issues such as premature burst release and immunogenicity. To address these challenges, cell membrane-coated nanoparticles offer a promising alternative.

Cancer is a deadly disease with complex pathophysiological nature and is the leading cause of death worldwide. Traditional diagnosis methods often detect cancer at a considerably critical stage and the conventional methods of treatment like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy have several limitations, multidrug resistance, cytotoxicity, and lack of specificity are a few examples. These pose substantial challenge for effective and favourable cancer treatment.

Wound healing is a dynamic, multi-phase process that includes haemostasis, tissue regeneration, cellular proliferation, and matrix modification. Traditional wound care procedures frequently encounter complications such as delayed healing and infection, demanding new therapeutic approaches. In this context, nanomaterial-based devices provide considerable benefits due to their capacity to improve medication delivery and tissue healing.

Transdermal insulin delivery is a promising method for diabetes management, providing the potential for controlled, sustained release and prolonged insulin effectiveness. However, the large molecular weight of insulin hinders its passive absorption through the stratum corneum (SC) of the skin, and high doses of insulin are required, which limits the commercial viability. We developed ethosome (ET) and -ethosome (TET) nanovesicle formulations containing a biocompatible lipid-based ionic liquid, [EDMPC][Lin], dissolved in 35% ethanol.
