Abstract
Background: Cancer is a major problem which has claimed so many lives throughout the world. Although a number of resources have been utilized for the development of cancer therapeutics, no effective cure has been found so far.
Objective: Therefore, the need for looking at evolving technologies has become very important to get a solution to this problem. Among these, nanotechnology has got so much popularity and became feasible in the past few years. Nanotechnology is presently used as the most preferable drug delivery platform for cancer therapy.
Method: A variety of nanomaterials based on lipid, polymer, metal or magnet have been developed for enhancement of the efficiency of current treatment.
Results: Recently, polymeric-nanoparticles have been exploited as a carrier of many drug substances for invasive and non-invasive routes of delivery.
Conclusion: In this manuscript, the authors have reviewed different aspects of nanoparticles, recent patents and research issues related to cancer.
Keywords: Cancer, patents, polymeric nanoparticles, drug targeting, drug carriers, nanoformulations.

Advances in Vanadium and Titanium Resources for High-performance Materials via Nanostructuring and Nanoengineering (updated BMS-NANOTEC-2023-HT-31)
Vanadium and titanium-based materials are ideal candidates for structural and functional materials in aerospace, biomedical engineering, optics, catalysis, energy storage and conversion etc. Vanadium/titanium-based alloys, compounds and materials have a large family with different chemical compositions, dimensions, structures/morphologies, and chemical/physical/mechanical properties, which provides huge opportunities for the development of emerging ...read more
Green Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials for a Sustainable Environment
Green nanotechnology (GN) might wind up being the most efficient platform for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The goal of GN is to create goods and procedures that are secure, energy-efficient, waste-free, and emit fewer greenhouse gases. Such goods and procedures use renewable resources, and/or their environmental impact ...read more
Nano-coatings and Nanoscale Composites for Hazardous Environments
Automobile, defence, and aerospace sectors need lightweight material for fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Often these materials are added with nanoscale reinforcements or have to be coated with nanomaterials to improve the scratch resistance, self-healing behaviour and corrosion and wear resistance and are all much needed for hazardous environments without ...read more
