A review on pH and temperature responsive gels and other less explored drug delivery systems

Recent progress in the syntheses and applications of multishelled hollow nanostructures

“…The goal of any drug delivery system is to provide and maintain the therapeutic concentrations of drug at the target biological site. 251,252 Multishelled hollow nanostructures with tunable pore and shell structures have been widely employed for drug delivery. For drug delivery systems, three important parameters are the most significant: loading capacity, good targeting, and sustained drug release.…”

Employing hydrogels in tissue engineering approaches to boost conventional cancer-based research and therapies

“…According to the particle size, hydrogels can be divided into microgels and nano-gels. 138 Encapsulated microgels containing drugs and therapeutic agents, such as anti-cancer compounds and proteins, could be successfully prepared. Microgels have similar polymeric chemical properties and different physical properties, including viscosity, surface area, and thermal response with hydrogels.…”

A Dual Stimuli Responsive Supramolecular Gel Provides Insulin Hydrolysis Protection and Redox‐Controlled Release of Actives

“…Polymeric gel networks permit to design biomedical devices that respond to stimuli such as temperature, pH, or the presence of different molecules such as glucose, glutathione, or antigens, among others . In particular, the use of polymeric gel matrices for drug delivery has been extensively studied and reviewed …”
