Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Breast cancer is considered the second most commonly diagnosed type of cancer across the world. The common modes of treatment are limited by severe side-effects that hinder the efficacy of the drugs, compromise the patients' quality of life and often lead to other disorders. One of the main focuses of nanobiotechnology research is to develop novel anti-cancer drug delivery systems that improve the drug efficacy, limit harmful side effects and also allow for the delivery of developing therapeutics that are rapidly degraded in circulation, such as small interfering RNA (siRNA). Nano-carriers are helpful particularly in anti-cancer drug delivery due to the Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) effect. In the current research study, we developed and investigated the use of surface modified HSA nanoparticles for the delivery of anti-cancer therapeutics in breast cancer applications. Results showed formation of modified HSA nanoparticles of sizes below 150 nm and contained a positive surface charge. The cellular uptake of the nanoparticles was higher in coated particles (average: ~70%) than uncoated particles. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity assessment of modified HSA nanoparticles suggested that empty particles are biocompatible and non-toxic to cells. Therefore, the presented PEI-enhanced and TAT-coated HSA nanoparticles form an appealing delivery system for anti-cancer therapeutics with a potential for clinical application.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
