Active Targeting Strategies Using Biological Ligands for Nanoparticle Drug Delivery Systems
Targeting nanoparticle (NP) carriers to sites of disease is critical for their successful use as drug delivery systems. Along with optimization of physicochemical properties, researchers have focused on surface modification of NPs with biological ligands.

Role of PPAR Receptor and Ligands in the Pathogenesis and Therapy of Hematologic Malignancies
The Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) play vital roles in regulating cellular differentiation, proliferation, and caspase-mediated cell death pathways. They are regarded as promising targets for anti-tumor drug development, particularly

Thermodynamically Optimized Machine-learned Reaction Coordinates for Hydrophobic Ligand Dissociation [PDF]
Ligand unbinding is mediated by the free energy change, which has intertwined contributions from both energy and entropy. It is important but not easy to quantify their individual contributions. We model hydrophobic ligand unbinding for two systems, a methane particle and a C60 fullerene, both unbinding from hydrophobic pockets in all-atom water.

Towards Water Soluble Mitochondria-Targeting Theranostic Osmium(II) Triazole-Based Complexes
The complex [Os(btzpy)2][PF6]2 (1, btzpy = 2,6-bis(1-phenyl-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)pyridine) has been prepared and characterised. Complex 1 exhibits phosphorescence (λem = 595 nm, τ = 937 ns, φem = 9.3% in degassed acetonitrile) in contrast to its known ...
