“…This exploration introduces an alternative strategy for ND functionalization with HA, suggesting potential advancements in the field of drug nanocarriers. 60 Due to the promising results from the aforementioned studies, the present investigation aims to explore a novel and smarter system for functionalizing NDs with HA through a non-covalent approach. Here, we demonstrate, for the first time, the successful functionalization of NDs with a conjugate of HA and 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (HA/DMPE).…”
