Lipid-Based Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery Systems in Breast Cancer Therapy

Abstract

Globally, breast cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases, inducing critical intimidation to human health. Lipid-based nanomaterials have been successfully demonstrated as drug carriers for breast cancer treatment. To date, the development of a better drug delivery system based on lipid nanomaterials is still urgent to make the treatment and diagnosis easily accessible to breast cancer patients. In a drug delivery system, lipid nanomaterials have revealed distinctive features, including high biocompatibility and efficient drug delivery. Specifically, a targeted drug delivery system based on lipid nanomaterials has inherited the advantage of optimum dosage and low side effects. In this review, insights on currently used potential lipid-based nanomaterials are collected and introduced. The review sheds light on conjugation, targeting, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical significance of lipid-based nanomaterials to treat breast cancer. Furthermore, a brighter side of lipid-based nanomaterials as future potential drug delivery systems for breast cancer therapy is discussed.

Progress in the Treatment of Central Nervous System Diseases Based on Nanosized Traditional Chinese Medicine

“…[ 330 ] Additionally, exosomes have the advantages of low toxicity, modifiability, high biocompatibility, and specific targeting. [ 331 , 332 , 333 ] Based on these properties, exosomes have gained wide attention and application as a natural tool for drug delivery in the field of TCM treatment of CNS diseases. [ 334 , 335 ] However, contemporary research has yet to fully elucidate the mechanisms underlying exosome action, with significant challenges remaining in their isolation and subsequent storage.…”

The biological response of pH-switch-based gold nanoparticle-composite polyamino acid embolic material

“…For the characterization of amino acid-NCA (AA-NCA) and the polymer mPEG-PLGTs, 33,34 we employed various methods. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (Nicolet6700) and deuterated water (D 2 O) solvent-based nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H NMR) were utilized to characterize AA-NCA and the final product mPEG-PLGTs.…”

Recent Progress in Nanotechnology Improving the Therapeutic Potential of Polyphenols for Cancer

“…These materials have been widely applied in cancer therapy, mainly due to their biocompatibility, which makes them well tolerated by the human body [ 92 ]. Furthermore, they can be modified to exhibit specific targeting properties, allowing for the selective delivery of drugs to cancer cells, thereby minimizing side effects in healthy tissues [ 93 ].…”
