DELIVERY PLATFORMS

Liposomes

Spherical lipid bilayer vesicles for the administration of nutrients and pharmaceutical drugs

Lipid nanoparticles

Nanoparticles engineered of various types of lipids are being utilized for mRNA and siRNA delivery.

Polymeric micelles/nanoparticles

Self-assembling nano-constructs of amphiphilic copolymers with a core-shell structure for delivery of pharmaceutical drugs and various hydrophobic cargos (contrast agents, small molecule drugs, etc.)

Dendrimer nanoparticles

Dendrimers as three-dimensional monodisperse globular macromolecules are being employed for siRNA delivery

Peptide-based nanoparticles

Peptides capable of producing stable nano-sized assemblies with nucleic acids, siRNA or mRNA are utilized for gene delivery

Nanoscale Metalorganic framework

Organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials constructed from metal-binding sites and bridging ligands as nanosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT), radiotherapy (RT), radiotherapy–radiodynamic therapy (RT-RDT)
