Abstract
Targeted imaging is playing an increasingly important role in the early detection and precise diagnosis of cancer. This need has motivated research into sensory nanomaterials that can be constructed into imaging agents to serve as biosensors. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as a valuable nanoprobe show great potential for use in two-photon biological imaging. However, most as-prepared GQDs exhibit a low two-photon absorption cross-section, narrow spectral coverage, and "one-to-one" signal conversion mode, which greatly hamper their wide application in sensitive early-stage cancer detection. Herein, a versatile strategy has been employed to fabricate an aptamer Sgc8c-functionalized hybrid as a proof-of-concept of the signal amplification strategy for targeted cancer imaging. In this study, GQDs with two-photon imaging performance, and silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) as nanocarriers to provide amplified recognition events by high loading of GQD signal tags, were adopted to construct a two-photon hybrid-based signal amplification strategy. Thus, the obtained hybrid (denoted SiO2@GQDs) enabled extremely strong fluorescence with a quantum yield up to 0.49, excellent photostability and biocompatibility, and enhanced bright two-photon fluorescence up to 2.7 times that of bare GQDs (excitation at 760 nm; emission at 512 nm). Moreover, further modification with aptamer Sgc8c showed little disruption to the structure of the SiO2@GQDs-hybrid and the corresponding two-photon emission. Hence, SiO2@GQDs-Sgc8c showed specific responses to target cells. Moreover, it could be used as a signal-amplifying two-photon nanoprobe for targeted cancer imaging with high specificity and great efficiency, which exhibits a distinct green fluorescence compared to that of GQDs-Sgc8c or SiO2@GQDs. This signal amplification strategy holds great potential for the accurate early diagnosis of tumors and offers new tools for the detection a wide variety of analytes in clinical application.

Abstract
We designed targeted drug delivery systems containing folate (FOL), the functionalized carbon nanotube (f-CNT) and doxorubicin (DOX), and studied the targeting properties of folate, f-CNT-FOL and DOX/f-CNT-FOL to folate receptor α (FRα). Folate was actively targeted to FRα in molecular dynamics simulations, and the dynamic process, effect of folate receptor evolution, and characteristics were analyzed. On this basis, the f-CNT-FOL and DOX/f-CNT-FOL nano-drug-carrier systems were designed, and the drug delivery process targeted to FRα was studied by 4 times MD simulations. The system evolution and detailed interactions of f-CNT-FOL and DOX/f-CNT-FOL with FRα residues were examined. We found that though the connection of CNT with the FOL could decrease the insertion depth of the pterin of FOL into the pocket of FRα, the loading of drug molecules could reduce this effect. Representative snapshots from the MD simulations were analyzed, showing that the location of DOX on the surface of CNT was constantly changed during the MD simulation, but the surface of the four rings of DOX were almost always parallel to the surface of CNT. The RMSD and RMSF were used to further analyze. The results may provide new insights for the design of novel targeted nano-drug-delivery systems.

Abstract
The time interval between the diagnosis of tumor in a patient and the initiation of treatment plays a key role in determining the survival rates. Consequently, theranostics, which is a combination of diagnosis and treatment, can be expected to improve survival rates. Early detection and immediate treatment initiation are particularly important in the management of melanoma, where survival rates decrease considerably after metastasis. The present work reports for the first time the application of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-tagged epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-functionalized ceria nanoparticles, which exhibit intrinsic reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated anticancer effects, for the EGFR-targeted diagnosis and treatment of melanoma. The theranostic activity was demonstrated using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) models of parental and metastatic melanoma. Confocal imaging studies confirm the diagnostic activity of the system. The therapeutic efficiency was evaluated using cell viability studies and ROS measurements. The ROS elevation levels are compared across the 2D and 3D models. Significant enhancement in the generation of cellular ROS and absence in mitochondrial ROS are observed in the 2D models. In contrast, significant elevations in both ROS types are observed for the 3D models, which are significantly higher for the metastatic spheroids than the parental spheroids, thus indicating the suitability of this nanoformulation for the treatment of metastatic melanoma.

Abstract
Integrated polyurethane (PU)-based foams modified with PEGylated graphene oxide and folic acid (PU@GO-PEG-FA) were developed with the goal of capturing and detecting tumor cells with precision. The detection of the modified PU@GO-PEG surface through FA against folate receptor-overexpressed tumor cells is the basis for tumor cell capture. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were applied to study the strength of FA interactions with the folate receptor. Based on the obtained results, the folate receptor has intense interactions with FA, which leads to the reduction in the FA interactions with PEG, and so decreases the fluorescence intensity of the biosensor. The synergistic interactions offer the FA-modified foams a high efficiency for capturing the tumor cell. Using a turn-off fluorescence technique based on the complicated interaction of FA-folate receptor generated by target recognition, the enhanced capture tumor cells could be directly read out at excitation-emission wavelengths of 380-450 nm. The working range is between 1×10 2 to 2×10 4 cells mL -1 with a detection limit of 25 cells mL -1 and good reproducibility with relative standard deviation of 2.35%. Overall, findings demonstrate that the fluorescence-based biosensor has a significant advantage for early tumor cell diagnosis.

Abstract
Polymersomes (or polymer vesicles) have attracted much attention for biomedical applications in recent years because their lumen can be used for drug delivery and their coronas and membrane can be modified with a variety of functional groups. Thus, polymersomes are very suitable for improved antibacterial and anticancer therapy. This review mainly highlighted recent advances in the synthetic protocols and design principles of intelligent antibacterial and anticancer polymersomes. Antibacterial polymersomes are divided into three categories: polymersomes as antibiotic nanocarriers, intrinsically antibacterial polymersomes, and antibacterial polymersomes with supplementary means including photothermal and photodynamic therapy. Similarly, the anticancer polymersomes are divided into two categories: polymersomes-based delivery systems and anticancer polymersomes with supplementary means. In addition, the bilateral relationship between bacteria and cancer is addressed, since more and more evidences show that bacteria may cause cancer or promote cancer progression. Finally, prospective on next-generation antibacterial and anticancer polymersomes are discussed. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Biology-Inspired Nanomaterials > Lipid-Based Structures.

Abstract
In chemodynamic therapy (CDT), the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production plays an important role for evaluating the therapeutic efficacy. However, the high levels of glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells consume the ROS, directly reducing the therapeutic efficiency. Herein, we synthesized carbon-based nanoparticle (Cu-cys CBNPs) using one-pot strategy, which consume GSH via redox reactions to produce Cu+ that catalyze H2 O2 to produce . OH, thus the ROS level was observably increased through this synergistic effect. In vivo experiments further revealed that Cu-cys CBNPs could effectively inhibit tumor growth. Additionally, Cu-cys CBNPs can affect the activity of some protein sulfhydryl groups in cells, which was assessed by rdTOP-ABPP assay. In general, this study not only provides a potential CDT drug, but also provides a strategy for one-pot synthesis of multifunctional nanomaterials.

Abstract
Background Development of new long-circulating contrast agents for computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of different biological systems still remains a great challenge. Here, we report the synthesis of folic acid (FA)-targeted CuFeSe2 nano-contrast agent for CT and MRI imaging in vitro and in vivo. Methods and Results In our study, CuFeSe2 was fabricated through a facile and green aqueous reaction and then further aminated through silanization. The amine-functionalized CuFeSe2-NH2 nanoparticles enable the covalent conjugation of folate-conjugated polyethylene glycol (FA-PEG-COOH) as a targeting ligand onto their surface, which could improve the dispersion and endue the targetability of nanoparticles, respectively. The formed multifunctional CuFeSe2-PEG-FA nanoparticles were characterized via different techniques, which exhibited outstanding dispersion, good biocompatibility and excellent FA-targeted capability. Meanwhile, the nanoparticles were quite safe in the given concentration range as confirmed by in vitro and in vivo toxicity assay. Importantly, CuFeSe2-PEG-FA nanoparticles were successfully applied in CT/MRI dual-modality imaging in vitro and in vivo, which showed a better imaging performance and targeted capability. Conclusion Therefore, the constructed CuFeSe2-PEG-FA nanoparticles have a great potential as an efficient contrast agent for dual-modality imaging of different biological systems.

Abstract
In the present study, a proficient way for targeted bioimaging of folate receptor (FR)-positive cancer cells using free folic acid (FA)- and MoS2 QD-based nanoprobes is discussed along with its advantages over the preparation of orthodox direct FA-nanoprobe bioconjugates for the imaging. The water-soluble MoS2 QDs of size 4-5 nm with cysteine functionalization are synthesized by a simplistic bottom-up hydrothermal method. The as-prepared MoS2 QDs exhibit the blue emission with the highest emission intensity at 444 nm upon excitation of 370 nm. The MoS2 QDs are too sensitive toward FA to produce an effective and stable nanofiber structure through supramolecular interaction, which demonstrates ∼97% quenching of fluorescence. Moreover, the high selectivity and sensitivity of MoS2 QDs toward FA make the MoS2 QD-based nanoprobe an appropriate candidate for FA-targeted "turn-off" imaging probes for in vivo study of FA-pretreated FR-overexpressed cancer cells. It is obvious from the confocal microscopy images that the FA-pretreated B16F10 cancer cells show higher population of dimmed fluorescence compared to untreated cancer cells and HEK-293 normal cells. The flow cytometry study quantitatively reveals the significant difference of the geometric mean of fluorescence between FA-pretreated and untreated B16F10 cancer cells. Hence, these MoS2 QD-based nanoprobes can be applied as potential nanoprobes for the prediagnosis of cancer through targeted bioimaging.

Abstract
Fluorescent nanomaterials have been widely used in biological imaging due to their selectivity, sensitivity, and noninvasive nature. These characteristics make the materials suitable for real-time and in situ imaging. However, further development of highly biocompatible nanosystems with long-lasting fluorescent intensity and photostability is needed for advanced bioimaging. We have used electrospraying to generate gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based fluorescent nanoparticles (NPs) with chemically conjugated rhodamine B (RB). The extent of conjugation can be controlled by varying the mass ratio of RB and GelMA precursors to obtain RB-conjugated GelMA (RB-GelMA) NPs with optimal fluorescent properties and particle size. These NPs exhibited superior biocompatibility when compared with pure RB in in vitro cell viability and proliferation assays using multiple cell types. Moreover, RB-GelMA NPs showed enhanced cell internalization and improved brightness compared with unconjugated RB. Our experiments demonstrate that engineered RB-GelMA NPs can be used as a biocompatible fluorescent label for bioimaging.

Abstract
Background Direct 3-bromopyruvate chemotherapy often causes side effects. We thus aimed to construct and evaluate folic acid-modified 3-bromopyruvate liquid crystalline nanoparticles (3BP-LCNP-FA) and assess their targeted antitumor effects in tumor-bearing nude mice. Material/Methods A liquid crystalline nanoparticle formulation was screened, and the structure was characterized using polarizing light- and transmission electron microscopy. The folate target was then synthesized and characterized using differential scanning calorimetry and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. In vitro, human CNE-2Z and MDA-MB-231 tumor cells were used to evaluate 3BP-LCNP-FA effects on tumor cell morphology and proliferation. Different drug formulations were administered to tumor-bearing nude mice to observe the treatment effects. Hepatic and renal toxicities were assessed using hematoxylin and eosin-stained liver, kidney, and lung sections along with serological analysis of liver and kidney injury markers (e.g., aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine). Tumor tissue was observed for changes using proliferating cell nuclear antigen immunohistochemistry and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay. Results We successfully prepared 3BP-LCNP-FA of spherical shape with uniform size using the aforementioned techniques; drug loading did not alter crystal morphology. These cubosomes exhibited more potent antitumor activity than 3-bromopyruvate alone or non-folic acid-conjugated 3-bromopyruvate liquid crystalline nanoparticles in vitro and in vivo without obvious toxic side effects. Conclusions It is possible to successfully construct 3BP-LCNP-FA as a drug delivery vehicle that is more efficacious than 3-bromopyruvate and has no obvious toxic effects. Thus, folic acid-modified cubosomes can be used as effective carriers for targeted drug administration.

Abstract
Background Targeting radiosensitizer-incorporated nanoparticles to a tumor could allow for less normal tissue toxicity with more efficient drug release, thus improving the efficacy and safety of radiation treatment. The aim of this study was to improve tumor-specific delivery and bioavailability of a nanoparticle-mediated radiosensitizer in mouse brain tumor models. Methods A pH-sensitive nanoparticle, chitoPEGAcHIS, was conjugated to recombinant peptide HVGGSSV that could bind to tax-interaction protein 1 (TIP-1) as a radiation-inducible receptor. Then the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor, SP600125 was incorporated into this copolymer to fabricate a HVGGSSV-chitoPEGAcHIS-SP600125 (HVSP-NP) nanoradiosensitizer. In vitro and in vivo radiation treatment were performed using a Gamma Knife unit. The tumor targetability of HVSP-NP was estimated by optical bioluminescence. Synergistic therapeutic effects of radiation treatment and HVSP-NP were investigated in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cell-bearing mouse brain tumor models. Results The SP600125 JNK inhibitor effectively reduced DNA damage repair to irradiated LLC cells. A pH sensitivity assay indicated that HVSP-NP swelled at acidic pH and increased in diameter, and its release rate gradually increased. Optical bioluminescence assay showed that radiation induced TIP-1 expression in mouse brain tumor and that the nanoradiosensitizer selectively targeted irradiated tumors. Radiation treatment with HVSP-NP induced greater apoptosis and significantly inhibited tumor growth compared to radiation alone. Conclusion As a novel nanoradiosensitizer, HVSP-NP was found to be able to selectively target irradiated tumors and significantly increase tumor growth delay in LLC-bearing mouse brain tumor models. This research shows that delivering a pH-sensitive nanoradiosensitizer to a brain tumor in which TIP-1 is induced by radiation can result in improved radiosensitizer-release in an acidic microenvironment of tumor tissue and in created synergistic effects in radiation treatment.

Abstract
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer and severely threatens human health. Since the prognosis of advanced HCC remains poor, there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic approaches. Porphyrin metal-organic frameworks are a class of porous organic-inorganic hybrid functional materials with good biocompatibility. Methods Gadolinium-porphyrin metal-organic frameworks were used as a skeleton for folic acid (FA) conjugation to synthesize a novel type of nanoparticle, denoted as folic acid-nanoscale gadolinium-porphyrin metal-organic frameworks (FA-NPMOFs). The FA-NPMOFs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis. The biotoxicity and imaging capability of the FA-NPMOFs were determined using HepG2 cells and embryonic and larval zebrafish. The delivery and photodynamic therapeutic effect of FA-NPMOFs were explored in transgenic zebrafish with doxycycline-induced HCC. Results FA-NPMOFs were spherical in structure with good dispersion and water solubility. They showed low biotoxicity, emitted bright red fluorescence, and exhibited an excellent magnetic resonance imaging capability, both in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, the FA-NPMOFs exhibited a strong affinity for folate receptor (FR)-expressing cells and were delivered to the tumor site in a targeted manner. Moreover, HCC tumor cells were eliminated following laser irradiation. Conclusion FA-NPMOFs can be used for dual-modality imaging and photodynamic therapy in HCC and show promise for use as a carrier in new therapies for HCC and other FR-positive tumors.

Abstract
Herein, a tumor-targeted multifunctional theranostic agent was synthetized using a facile method, combining four clinically approved materials: artesunate (Arte), human serum albumin (HSA), folic acid (FA), and indocyanine green (ICG). The obtained nanocomposites (FA-IHA NPs) showed an excellent photo- and physiological stability. The ICG in the FA-IHA NPs was used not only for near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging, but also for photothermal and photodynamic (PTT-PDT) therapy under a single NIR irradiation. In addition, the NIR irradiation (808 nm, 1 W/cm2) could trigger Arte release that showed enhanced chemotherapeutic effect. Through fluorescence imaging, the cell uptake and tumor accumulation of FA-IHA NPs were observed in vitro and in vivo, analyzed by confocal microscopy and NIR fluorescence imaging in tumor xenograft mice. Based on the diagnostic results, FA-IHA NPs at 24 h post injection and combined with NIR irradiation (808 nm, 1 W/cm2) could efficiently suppress tumor growth through a photo-chemo combination therapy, with no tumor recurrence in vitro and in vivo. The obtained results suggested that FA-IHA NPs are promising photo-chemo theranostic agents for future clinical translation.

Abstract
Nine novel fluorescent antifolates, 1-9, were designed and docked with FRα and FRβ. The binding energies of the bound complexes were determined by molecular docking and MM-PBSA studies. The structural properties of the complexes FR-FOL, FR-7, FR-8 and FR-9 were analyzed in detail via molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies. We further calculated the root mean square displacement and root mean square fluctuation of the bound complexes using molecular dynamics simulations. Since compounds 7, 8 and 9 are promising candidate in distinguishing FRα from FRβ, the hydrogen bond properties of complexes FRα-7, FRα-8 and FRα-9 were studied by a dispersion complemented density functional tight-binding method. The purpose of this study is to provide a rationale for the design of novel fluorescent antifolates targeted with FRα and FRβ.

Abstract
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. Folate receptor 1 (Folr1) was abundantly expressed in some epithelial malignancies. However the expression profile and the role of clinicopathological significance and therapeutic target potential in medulloblastoma still remain elusive. Currently we detected the expression of Folr1 in medulloblastoma and identified the diagnostic application by evaluating the clinical, pathological and neuroimaging values. Then we developed a target therapeutic compound with Folr1, which exhibited promising efficiency in treatment of medulloblastoma. Folr1 expression was up-regulated in medulloblastoma and positively correlated with percentage of Ki-67 and MMP9 labeling, pathological subtypes, serum Folr1 levels and CSF spreading on MRI. The level of serum Folr1 showed rational sensitivity and specificity in predicting histological subgroups. Strong Folr1 expression was recommended as the independent value regarding the prognosis of patients with medulloblastoma. Folr1 targeted therapy attenuated the tumor growth and metastasis with down-regulation of MMPs proteins and activation of apoptosis. Immunostaining analysis in the xenograft samples showed the decreased Ki-67 and MMP9 index providing the strong evidences that Folr1 targeted application can suppress the proliferation and invasion. Our findings uncovered in Folr1 a predictive candidate and therapeutic target for medulloblastoma.

Abstract
Bacterial drug resistance has emerged as a serious global threat mandating the development of novel methodologies that allow facile modulation of antimicrobial action in a controlled fashion. Conjugating antibiotics to nanoparticles helps to meet this goal by increasing the drug’s overall avidity, bioavailability and easier internalisation into mammalian cells, targeting bacteria that otherwise escape antibacterial action by host cell-localisation. We used polymyxin B sulfate (PMB) and sushi peptide as model drugs against Gram-negative bacteria and established their enhanced antimicrobial activity on Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells after conjugation to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The efficacy of the bioconjugates was also tested on Salmonella typhi (S. typhi) bacteria infected into cervical cancer cells (HeLa) and further improved through specific targeting via folate receptors. Our results demonstrate significantly lower inhibitory concentration values for sushi-NP assemblies as compared to free drug, especially at optimal drug loading levels. No major cytotoxicity was observed in mammalian cells alone.

Abstract
A rapid, simple, and novel method for folate receptor α (FRα) determination is reported here. A probe of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) modified with anti-FRα antibody was synthesized under the optimized conditions first. The antibody-modified Au NPs would aggregate when FRα was added to the probe for the specific interaction between antibody and antigen, resulting in the enhancement of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) intensity. There is a linear relationship between the change of RRS intensity (ΔIRRS) and the concentration of FRα, with the detecting range of 0.50–37.50 ng·mL−1 and the limit of determination of 0.05 ng·mL−1. The determination of FRα in serum samples was realized with the advantages of high selectivity, high sensitivity, and easy operation.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to develop a novel Poloxamer-based drug delivery system featuring a tumor-targeting folate moiety, which was expected to provide better targeting properties and therapeutic effects compared with the traditional cubosomes (Cubs). Material/Methods Both folate-modified Cubs containing etoposide (ETP-Cubs-FA) and normal cubic nanoparticles loaded with etoposide (ETP-Cubs) were prepared through the fragmentation of bulk gels under the homogenization condition of 1500 bar, and a mean particle size of around 180 nm was obtained with a narrow size distribution. The cubosomes were further characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Polarized light microscopy (PLM). The release of ETP in vitro from these nanoparticles was found to be 82.5% at 36 h, showing a sustained release property compared with the free drug administration. Results Folate-modified cubosomes exhibited best anti-proliferative activity followed by normal cubosomes and the free drug. A further cell uptake study of Rhodamine B-loaded Cubs-FA (Rh-B-Cubs-FA) showed a marked increase of cellular accumulation compared with free Rh-B and Rh-B-loaded Cubs (Rh-B-Cubs). In vivo Rh-B-based tumor imaging demonstrated that Cubs-FA specifically targeted the tumor tissue. Conclusions The folate-modified cubosomes containing ETP may be a promising drug candidate for antitumor treatment.

Abstract
The development of cost-effective targeted drug delivery systems for cancer chemotherapy still remains a great challenging task. Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of multifunctional polyethylenimine (PEI) as an effective vehicle to load an anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) for in vivo targeted cancer therapy. In this study, PEI was sequentially conjugated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) monomethyl ether, PEGylated folic acid (FA), and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FI). This was followed by the acetylation of the remaining PEI surface amines. The formed FA-targeted multifunctional PEI (FA-mPEI) was used as a vehicle to encapsulate DOX. We show that the formed FA-mPEI/DOX complexes with each PEI encapsulating 6.9 DOX molecules are water dispersible and can sustainably release DOX in a pH-dependent manner, showing a higher release rate under acidic pH conditions than under physiological pH conditions. Furthermore, the complexes display specific therapeutic efficacy to cancer cells in vitro and a subcutaneous tumor model in vivo, and have good organ compatibility. The designed multifunctional PEI may be used as an effective vehicle for targeted cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
A structure-determined silver nanocluster of [Ag10 (Eth)4 (CF3 COO)6 (CH3 OH)3 ]·3C-H3 OH (Eth = ethisterone) (1), is firstly demonstrated by self-assembly of silver salt and ethisterone. Due to the thiophilicity of silver(I) ions, complex 1 shows reactivity with glutathione (GSH) molecules in solution and induces the fluorescence quenching behavior. Thus, complex 1 can be used as a fluorescent sensor for GSH. In consideration of the higher level of GSH in cancerous cells, complex 1 presents significant tumor suppression reactivity toward the human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells with IC50 value of 165 × 10-9 m. Especially, complex 1 displays 3.4-fold higher in vitro cytotoxicity to HepG2 cells than that of the normal CCC-HEL-1 cells, which makes complex 1 a potential targeting suppression agent for cancerous cells. The molecular design of complex 1 not only generates a new medicine-silver(I) cluster family, but also opens a new avenue to the targeting anticancer organosilver(I) materials.

Abstract
Multivalent mannose-functionalized nanoparticles self-assembled from amphiphilic β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) facilitate the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to specific cancer cells. Doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded nanoparticles equipped with multivalent mannose target units were efficiently taken up via receptor-mediated endocytosis by MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells that overexpress the mannose receptor. Upon entering the cell, the intracellular pH causes the release of DOX, which triggers apoptosis. Targeting by multivalent mannose significantly improved the capability of DOX-loaded nanoparticles to inhibit the growth of MDA-MB-231 cancer cells with minimal side effects in vivo. This targeted and controlled drug delivery system holds promise as a nanotherapeutic for cancer treatment.
