Inorganic Nanomaterials Used in Anti-Cancer Therapies:Further Developments

Abstract

In this article, we provide an overview of the progress of scientists working to improve the quality of life of cancer patients. Among the known methods, cancer treatment methods focusing on the synergistic action of nanoparticles and nanocomposites have been proposed and described. The application of composite systems will allow precise delivery of therapeutic agents to cancer cells without systemic toxicity. The nanosystems described could be used as a high-efficiency photothermal therapy system by exploiting the properties of the individual nanoparticle components, including their magnetic, photothermal, complex, and bioactive properties. By combining the advantages of the individual components, it is possible to obtain a product that would be effective in cancer treatment. The use of nanomaterials to produce both drug carriers and those active substances with a direct anti-cancer effect has been extensively discussed. In this section, attention is paid to metallic nanoparticles, metal oxides, magnetic nanoparticles, and others. The use of complex compounds in biomedicine is also described. A group of compounds showing significant potential in anti-cancer therapies are natural compounds, which have also been discussed.

Advances and Development of Electronic Neural Interfaces

“…Nanomaterials are a class of functional materials with unusual features, including the ability to seamlessly integrate into soft, malleable organs and tissues or/and to establish new interfaces for therapeutic and sensing purposes. In order to create soft, bioresorbable devices, Długosz et al [4]provide a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and advancements in a wide range of additive printing methods, and inorganic and organic nanomaterials. Merits in near interfaces, degradability, biocompatibility, and low impedance in sensing are only few,regarding the benefits of nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanomembranes, and hydrogels.…”
