This paper reviews the work carried out on cyclodextrins during some thirty years at the
Institut Galien Paris-Sud, UMR CNRS 8612, Université Paris-Sud. It represents the normal …

Engineered nanoparticles (NPs) play an increasingly important role in biomedical sciences
and in nanomedicine. Yet, in spite of significant advances, it remains difficult to construct …

Silica nanoparticles have an interesting potential in drug delivery, gene therapy and
molecular imaging due to the possibility of tailoring their surface reactivity that can be …

New stealth amphiphilic copolymers based on polysarcosine (PSar) rather than poly
(ethylene glycol)(PEG) have gained more attention for their use as excipients in …

The amino poly (trimethylene carbonate)-NH t-Boc (PTMC-NH t-Boc) and poly (ε-
caprolactone)-NH t-Boc (PCL-NH t-Boc) were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is at the forefront of non-invasive medical imaging
techniques. It provides good spatial and temporal resolution that can be further improved by …

The morphology of nanoparticles is closely related to their various applications. However,
precise control over geometric parameters such as the lateral surface curvature (K) of …

A simple and efficient approach for the electrochemical deposition of polypeptides as bio-
based covering materials for surface design is described. The method involves N …

Hydroxyapatite (HAP), a highly specific component of bone tissue, is the main target in order
to impart osteotropicity. Bone targeted nanoparticles can increase the strength of the …

Recently, many efforts have been devoted to investigating the application of functionalized
micelles as targeted drug delivery carriers. In this study, glycyrrhetinic acid (GA, a liver …
