Nanocarriers to targeted terapy: a goal for biomedical applications.
2011
The reasons for the growing interest in biomaterials for application in the biomedical field are related to need to find alternative and more effective than conventional procedures used in drug treatment of several diseases. The traditional methods of drug delivery has limitations due to the drug’s toxicity in the body. The development of nanocarriers, which can be functionalized and loaded with drugs or genetic material and can be released into the body with a controlled mechanism, was a real goal in the field of biomedical applications. Synthetic hydrogels have found many applications especially in tissue-engineering scaffolds, as carriers for implantable and drug delivery devices. Hydrog…

Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents the most common cause of dementia worldwide. The early symptom is usually a short-term memory loss, followed by symptoms including problems with language, disorientation, mood swings, loss of motivation, not managing self-care, and behavioral issues, until loss of body functions and, ultimately, death. The cause of AD is poorly understood and the diagnosis is complex. One of the main AD hallmarks is the extracellular deposition in brain tissue of proteinaceous amyloid plaques, composed by well-ordered fibrillary aggregates of the amyloid β-peptide (Aβ). The Aβ aggregation process follows typical nucleation-polymerization kinetics, characterized by structu…

La salute delle strutture molli e dure del cavo orale è essenziale non solo per preservare le funzioni ad esse direttamente associate, ma anche per promuovere la salute generale dell’organismo. Tra le problematiche di maggiore interesse clinico a carico della cavità orale ritroviamo: i) le complicazioni post-operatorie che possono verificarsi a seguito di comuni avulsioni dentali che, se non trattate tempestivamente, possono sfociare in gravi parodontiti; ii) i fenomeni di osteonecrosi a carico di mascella e mandibola associate a trattamenti farmacologici nonché alla radioterapia; iii) il carcinoma orale a cellule squamose (OSCC) che è tra i più aggressivi tumori del collo e della testa, ca…
