Polysaccharide-based nanoparticles for theranostic nanomedicine. [PDF]
Adv Drug Deliv Rev, 2016 Polysaccharides are natural biological molecules that have numerous advantages for theranostics, the integrated approach of therapeutics and diagnostics. Their derivable reactive groups can be leveraged for functionalization with a nanoparticle-enabling conjugate, therapeutics (small molecules, proteins, peptides, photosensitizers) and/or diagnostic ...

Theranostic nanomedicine for cancer detection and treatment. [PDF]
J Food Drug Anal, 2014 Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the USA according to the American Cancer Society. In the past 5 years, "theranostic nanomedicine", for both therapeutics and imaging, has shown to be "the right drug for the right patient at the right moment" to manage deadly cancers.

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles as Theranostic Antitumoral Nanomedicines [PDF]
Pharmaceutics, 2020 Nanoparticles have become a powerful tool in oncology not only as carrier of the highly toxic chemotherapeutic drugs but also as imaging contrast agents that provide valuable information about the state of the disease and its progression. The enhanced permeation and retention effect for loaded nanocarriers in tumors allow substantial improvement of ...
