Abstract
Thyroid cancer, the most prevalent cancer of the endocrine system and cervical region, has experienced a significant increase in incidence over recent decades. Nanomedicine has fundamentally revolutionized cancer treatment, particularly through the development of multifunctional nano-therapeutics. The progress in this field has been facilitated by the distinctive properties of nanomaterials, such as their capacity to perform several functions, be modified, and offer various detection methods. These features allow for non-invasive and practical diagnostic techniques through versatile imaging. Surface engineering plays a pivotal role in the design of multifunctional nano-systems for localized drug delivery against thyroid cancer. Nano-systems can be customized via surface modification techniques, such as functionalization with targeting ligands and inclusion of therapeutic drugs. This customization allows the nano-systems to specifically target cancer cells while reducing the impact on non-target cells. As a result, bovine serum albumin-coated nanostructures have emerged as powerful diagnostic and targeting nanosystems for thyroid cancer. This targeted strategy enhances the effectiveness of cancer treatment while reducing overall body toxicity. This comprehensive review aims to provide an extensive overview of the latest advancements in surface-engineered nanoparticle-based approaches for both diagnosing and treating thyroid cancer. It highlights the promising research endeavors aimed at creating novel and effective multifunctional nanomedicine for localized delivery to thyroid cancer sites. The review examines different nanomedicines that have been developed for cancer treatment and diagnosis. It also analyzes the current trends, future possibilities, and obstacles in this rapidly advancing sector. By synthesizing the current state of knowledge on surface-engineered multifunctional nano-systems, this review contributes to a better understanding of their potential applications in thyroid cancer treatment and paves the way for future research directions in this promising field of nanomedicine.

Hybrid green bionanocomposites based on chitosan/starch/gelatin and metallic nanoparticles for biological applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127571. [PMID: 37875185 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
Multicomponent composites based on natural biopolymers: chitosan, starch and gelatin in two different ratios (0.5:1:1 and 1:1:1) were in situ crosslinked by intermolecular interactions and used as matrices for zinc oxide and magnetite fillers. The bionanocomposite films have been evaluated by spectral and microscopy methods: Fourier-Transform Infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) confirming the electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions between the components of the polymeric matrices and the inorganic fillers and the crosslinking process. AFM and SEM images showed a compact, non-porous and homogenous morphology of the hybrid films, proving a good miscibility of the blends. At lower concentrations of embedded filler, the composites were less hardened and more ductile due to the interaction with the polymeric matrix. Increased amounts of inorganic NPs led to the reduced mechanical properties of the prepared materials and increased thermal stability. The bionanocomposites revealed a similar behavior of the dielectric constant with frequency and increased values at higher temperatures. The wettability of the films' surface and the values of the water sorption capacity revealed a slight hydrophilicity of the bionanocomposites as compared with the initial matrices. The biocompatibility, evaluated by means of the surface free energy components and the interfacial tension with blood, and the hemolysis analysis demonstrated that the bionanocomposites possess a low risk of thrombosis, being promising materials for in vivo biomedical applications.
