Chitosan-Based Nano-medicines for Cancer Management: Molecular Design to Clinical Translational

Cancer constitutes a major cause of mortality globally. According to the International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC), the new cases of cancer are predicted to increase over the next ten years. Despite tremendous progress in the treatment of cancer, some hurdles, such as systemic toxicity, poor tumor targeting, multidrug resistance, and poor bioavailability, still exist. The application of nanotechnology has transformed drug delivery systems by enabling targeted drug delivery, controlled release, and enhanced permeability and... see more

Hybrid Nano-Formulations for Spatiotemporal, Multi-Target Therapeutics: Innovations, Mechanisms, and Clinical Horizons.

Hybrid nano-formulations represent a rapidly evolving frontier in drug delivery, enabling precise spatiotemporal control and multi-target therapeutic action. By integrating organic, inorganic, polymeric, lipid-based, and biomolecular components into a single platform, these systems overcome limitations of conventional therapies such as poor bioavailability, off-target toxicity, and limited therapeutic efficacy. This thematic issue focuses on recent innovations in hybrid nano-formulations designed for site-specific, stimuli-responsive, and time-controlled drug release across diverse disease conditions. It highlights underlying mechanisms of... see more

Nano Formulations and Advanced Drug Delivery Approaches for Next-Generation Cancer Therapeutics.

The field of oncology is undergoing a transformative shift with the integration of nanotechnology and advanced drug delivery systems aimed at enhancing the precision, efficacy, and safety of cancer therapeutics. Nano formulations—including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, micelles, and inorganic nanocarriers—offer unique physicochemical properties such as high surface area, tunable size, and controlled drug release, which allow for targeted delivery and improved bioavailability of chemotherapeutic agents. These systems are designed to overcome traditional challenges like poor... see more
