Patient noncompliance to current tuberculosis (TB) therapy owing to multidrug administration daily leads to treatment failure and emergence of multidrug resistant and extensively drug resistant TB. To avoid the daily dosing, application of nanotechnology is the only viable solution by virtue of sustained release of drugs. Other potential advantages of the system include the possibility […]
This review discusses recent developments in the field of nanosized biomaterials and their use in tissue regeneration approaches. The aim is to provide an overview of the research focused on nanoparticle-based strategies to stimulate regeneration. In particular, nanoparticles improve the regenerative capabilities of biomaterials offering ways to control surface and mechanical properties. Moreover, incorporation of […]
Cancer prevails to be one of the main reasons of death across the globe. A large group of drugs and other therapies exist in the market for cancer treatment, yet, these conventional therapies have huge drawbacks such as low-specificity, off-target toxicity, and multidrug resistance that impact the standard of living of the patients. The concept […]
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an approved minimum-invasive therapeutic approach authorized for the clinical treatment of various types of cancer and antibiotic-resistant microbial disorders. During PDT, a photosensitizing compound known as a photosensitizer (PS) deliberately accumulates in tissues. The PS is activated when exposed to a specific wavelength of visible light, generating reactive oxygen species and […]
