How the advancements in the field of hydrogels and nanogels occured with their specific application in clinical diagnostics, therapeutic agents, and proteins enrichment. Please suggest me literature. thanks in advance
Targeting therapeutic agents and nanotheranostics are nanobiotechnology-based approaches in disease diagnosis and treatment.
An attractive attribute of the nanocarrier systems in the are of diagnosis and nanotherapy is the ability to target and release bioactive compounds in different parts of the Human body. A recent development came from the work of Asnani and co-workers who formulated a plant-derived hydrogel beads system for targeting the encapsulated compounds to colon with the aim of colon-cancer treatment:
Asnani, G.P., Bahekar, J., Kokare, C.R. (2018) Development of novel pH–
responsive dual crosslinked hydrogel beads based on Portulaca oleracea polysaccharide35 alginate-borax for colon specific delivery of 5-fluorouracil. Journal of Drug Delivery Science and Technology, 48, 200-208.
