Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a type of hemolytic anemia caused by the production of anti-self-erythrocyte antibodies due to immune dysfunction, binding to red blood cell surface antigens, or activating complement to accelerate the destruction of red blood cells. According to reports, ... Views: 93
Over the past few years, gold nanostars have gained significant relevance in biology and medicine, in particular, in imaging and photothermal therapy, also owing to their biocompatibility. Furthermore, they have improved the sensitivity of diagnostic assays and have been integrated in ... Views: 68
Most of the old drugs are currently limited in their effectiveness because of poor pharmacokinetics, simple clearance by the body and cytotoxicity. Nanoparticle technology in particular, Nano drug delivery system is getting a lot of attention and application in medicine in the recent years. ... Views: 68

The History of ADC Drugs
ADC drug history begins with "magic bullet". Physicians have long had high cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs for tumour treatment. As they target cancer cells, chemotherapeutics will also random attack healthy cells and become systemically toxic. Paul Ehrlich came up with ... Views: 25
The primary function of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP/a>) includes regulation of water and salt metabolism together with vascular volume which helps control blood pressure stability. Additionally, ANP manages endothelial cell permeability and counters the adrenal aldosterone system which ... Views: 24
Traditional immunoassays based on the format of 96-well microtiter plates are widely used in analytical laboratories and have become increasingly automated with the introduction of robotics technology in recent years, thereby enhancing assay throughput. Most clinical analyzers essentially ... Views: 23
The main focus of drug carrier research today is to identify carriers that are both safe and effective for clinical treatment applications. As treatment strategies advance researchers regularly update drug delivery systems. Traditional drug delivery systems consist of liposomes and polymer ... Views: 22
