Mycobacterium smegmatis (Ms) is a nonpathogenic mycobacteria of rapid growth, which shares many characteristics with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the major causative agent of tuberculosis. MTB has several cell wall glycolipids in common with Ms, which play an important role in

The application of boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) following liposomal delivery of a (10)B-enriched polyhedral borane and a carborane against mouse mammary adenocarcinoma solid tumors was investigated. Unilamellar liposomes with a mean diameter of 134 nm or less, composed of

Ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) was one of the most promising strategies to enhance drug delivery in cancer therapy. Microbubbles (MBs) serve as a vehicle to carry anti-tumor drugs and locally release them when exposed to therapeutic ultrasound, resulting in

Nanoparticulate drug carriers such as liposomal drug delivery systems are of considerable interest in cancer therapy because of their ability to passively accumulate in solid tumors. For liposomes to have practical utility for antitumor therapy in patients, however, optimization of

Drug delivery systems consisting of liposomes displaying a cell surface receptor-targeting peptide are being developed to specifically deliver chemotherapeutic drugs to tumors overexpressing a target receptor. This study addresses novel liposome composition approaches to specifically target tissues overexpressing bombesin (BN)
