Abstract
Among the difficulties encountered in the treatment of cancer are the physico-chemical properties of the chemotherapeutic agents; in particular low water solubility and low stability, resulting in poor efficacy. Due to their capability to form molecular inclusions with apolar molecules (or part of them) cyclodextrins constitute a powerful tool to prepare more efficient chemotherapeutic delivery systems such as nanoparticles. This review focuses on polymeric nanoparticles for cancer therapy prepared from either cyclodextrin molecules, or polymer and cyclodextrins.
Keywords: Cancer, cyclodextrins, nanoparticles, polymers, solubility, stability, cytotoxicity.

Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes and explores biological data. This field combines biology and information system. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted great attention as it tries to replicate human intelligence. It has become common technology for analyzing and solving complex data and problems and encompasses sub-fields of machine ...read more
