Micellar-Based Nanoparticles for Cancer Therapy and Bioimaging

摘要: Micelles are versatile nanosized systems composed by amphiphilic molecules. Their small size and capacity to encapsulate both hydrophilic hydrophobic compounds, as well their easier functionalization, some of the characteristics responsible for multifunctionality, potential use in different clinical settings. In fact, micelles have important applications cancer therapy because deliver anticancer drugs tumor sites. recent years, beyond delivery been explored. this chapter, we will discuss main features that make them good candidates development bioimaging. The state-of-the-art advances academic research be discussed
