Reports from Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani Describe Recent Advances in Cancer (Recent Advancements In Nanotechnology-mediated Platinum-based Cancer Therapy).

A recent study from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani in Telangana, India, explores the advancements in nanotechnology-mediated platinum-based cancer therapy. Platinum-based drugs have been effective in cancer treatment, but their therapeutic usefulness is compromised by adverse effects and drug resistance. To overcome these limitations, researchers have focused on developing nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery systems for platinum-based drugs. This paper summarizes the structure and mechanisms of platinum compounds, various delivery systems for platinum drugs, and the potential of nanotechnology-enabled platinum-based cancer therapies. The study aims to assist researchers in developing innovative nanomedicine for anticancer applications. [Extracted from the article]
