Nanoparticles (NPs) composed of chitosan (CS) and poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) were
prepared by a simple ionic-gelation method for oral insulin delivery. Fourier transform infrared (…

It has been reported that nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by hydrophobically-modified polymers
could accumulate passively in the tumor tissue; however, their cellular uptake mechanism …

Chitosan (CS)-based complexes have been considered as a vector for DNA delivery;
nonetheless, their transfection efficiency is relatively low. An approach by incorporating poly(γ-…

Various approaches have been proposed to overcome the unpleasant side-effects
associated with antibiotic treatment for Helicobacter pylori. The limited effectiveness of such …

Curcumin is a polyphenolic compound which possesses anticancer potential. It has been
shown to induce cell death in a variety of cancer cells, however, its effect on CAL27‑cisplatin-…

Kaempferol belongs to the flavonoid family and has been used in traditional folk medicine.
Here, we investigated the antitumor effects of kaempferol on cell cycle arrest and autophagic …

Purpose. Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is an important biomarker of aging. The oxidative
balance score (OBS) is used to assess the oxidative stress-related exposures of diet and …

Chitosan (CS)/DNA complex nanoparticles (NPs) have been considered as a vector for gene
delivery. Although advantageous for DNA packing and protection, CS-based complexes …

Kaempferol is a natural flavonoid that possesses anti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing
activities in several cancer cell lines. In the present study, we investigated the anti-metastatic …
