Hyaluronan (HA)-based drug delivery system including HA conjugates and nano-formulations have been intensively researched in various biomedical applications due to its excellent biocompatibility and unique biological characteristics. Currently most researches are exploring the targeted drug delivery enabled by HA receptors e.g.

Article Synopsis
  • - Treatment for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is difficult because there are few targeted therapies and the tumors themselves can vary a lot in features.
  • - A combination of the chemotherapy drug cisplatin (Cis) and the SRC inhibitor dasatinib (DAS) can effectively fight TNBC but often leads to harmful side effects.
  • - Researchers created a new hyaluronan (HA) nanogel (HCD) to encapsulate both Cis and DAS, which targets TNBC cells more effectively, enhances drug efficacy, increases the maximum tolerated dose, and reduces kidney toxicity in a mouse model.

The rheological properties of α-cellulose 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium formate solutions were investigated using shear viscosity and dynamic rheological measurements in a large range of concentrations (0.1-10 wt%) at 25 °C. In steady shear measurement, the overlap concentration (c*) and the entanglement concentration (c(e)) were determined to be 0.
