Abstract
In recent years many different nanotechnology platforms have been developed for both diagnostics and cancer therapy. Researchers have been attracted to use lipid-based nanoparticles with particle size approximately 100 nm as a new pharmaceutical delivery system or pharmaceutical formulation that can be assembled from different types of lipid or other chemical components in order to overcome biological barriers. This mini-review highlights the recently published studies in the development of lipid-based nanoparticles as appropriate vehicles in cancer diagnosis and therapy with focus on their chemical structure, formulation recipes, stability, drug encapsulation, and other factors related to their formulation.
Keywords: Drug delivery, lipid, lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs), liposome, solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN), nanotechnology.

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
