Shape of particulate drug carries has been identified as a key parameter in determining their
biological outcome. In this review, we analyze the field of particle shape as it shifts from …

Calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) has long been used as a delivery system owing to its wide
availability, biocompatibility, and degradability. However, it often suffers from many …

Nanomaterials are proven to affect the biological activity of mammalian and microbial cells
profoundly. Despite this fact, only surface chemistry, charge, and area are often linked to …

Natural materials are anisotropic. Delivery systems occurring in nature, such as viruses,
blood cells, pollen, and many others, do have anisotropy, while delivery systems made …

In the combat against pathogens, the immune systems were evolved with the immune
recognitions against the various danger signals, which responded vigorously upon the …

Microcapsules of customized shapes offer significant advantages over spherical ones,
including enhanced internalization by host cells, improved flow characteristics, and higher …

As is well known to all, delivering drug precisely to the tumor site is beneficial to improve
antitumor effect. In this study, we reported mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) coated …

Biofilms are the reason for a vast majority of chronic inflammation cases and most acute
inflammation. The treatment of biofilms still is a complicated task due to the low efficiency of …

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a nontoxic and degradable nanomaterial. ACC can
be synthesized using the coprecipitation technique, which enables the incorporation of ions …

Exquisite design of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) is essential to meet the demands on the
properties of functional materials for various applications, where additives play a crucial role …
