in brief….

This section offers news briefs on studies about nanomedicine. A study on the effect of a single administration of nanoparticles on neurotransmitters and proinflammatory cytokines in a mouse olfactory bulb was done in vivo microdialysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. A research team has designed endothelial targeted polymer nanocarriers (PNCs) loaded with catalase to test if this approach would protect against vascular oxidative stress. Another study was done on ensuring the effective accumulation of daunorubicin in cancer cells.
