      A potent drug delivery system (DDS) based on poly(β-amino ester)s (pBAEs) to tackle multidrug resistance (MDR) in lung cancer by codelivering siRNA targeting antiapoptotic BCL-2 and doxorubicin (DOX) ...
    • Extracellular vesicles and their current role in cancer immunotherapy 

      Giacobino, Carla; Canta, Marta; Fornaguera, Cristina; Borrós, Salvador; Cauda, Valentina (Cancers, 2021-05-10)
      Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are natural particles formed by the lipid bilayer and released from almost all cell types to the extracellular environment both under physiological conditions and in presence ...
    • Nanopartículas de sílice: preparación y aplicaciones en biomedicina 

      Sánchez-García, David; Llinàs, Maria (Afinidad. Vol.71, n.565 (2014), p.20-31, 2014-01)
      Actualmente, un importante número de avances científicos se fundamentan en la utilización de nanopartículas cómo superficies de actuación, vehículos de transporte, en procesos relacionados con aplicaciones ...
    • New Trends in Brain Shuttle Peptides 

      Prades, Roger; Teixidó, Meritxell; Oller-Salvia, Benjamí (Molecular Pharmaceutics 2025, 22, 3, 1100–1109, 2025-03-03)
      The pharmacological treatment of central nervous system diseases faces significant challenges due to the presence of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). This barrier naturally protects the brain and prevents ...

      Cosialls, Raúl; Simó, Cristina; Borrós, Salvador; Gómez Vallejo, Vanessa; Schmidt, Claudia; Llop, Jordi; Cuenca, Ana Belen; Casini, Angela (Chemistry – A European Journal 2023, 29(3), e202202604, 2023-01-12)
      To advance the design of self-assembled metallosupramolecular architectures as new generation theranostic agents, the synthesis of 18F-labelled [Pd2L4]4+ metallacages is reported. Different spectroscopic ...
    • Photosensitive EGFR-Targeted Nanocarriers for Combined Photodynamic and Local Chemotherapy 

      de las Heras, Elena; Sagristá, M. Lluïsa; Agut, Montserrat; Nonell, Santi (Pharmaceutics 2022, 14(2), 405, 2022-02)
      The major limitation of any cancer therapy lies in the difficulty of precisely controlling the localization of the drug in the tumor cells. To improve this drawback, our study explores the use of ...
    • Photosensitizing proteins for antibacterial photodynamic inactivation 

      Nonell, Santi; Hally, Cormac; Delcanale, Pietro; Viappiani, Cristiano; Abbruzzetti, Stefania (Translational Biophotonics. Vol.2, n.1-2 (2020) e201900031, 2020-05)
