The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in the Skin and Their Interactions with Nanoparticles
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) include exosomes and microvesicles. They are released from cells under both physiological and pathological conditions. EVs can be isolated from a host of biological mediums, such as blood plasma, saliva, and skin.
The role of EVs and their contents, including RNA,…

Nanoparticles for topical drug delivery: Potential for skin cancer treatment
Nanoparticles offer new opportunities for the treatment of skin diseases. The barrier function of the skin poses a significant challenge for nanoparticles to permeate into the tissue, although the barrier is partially compromised in case of injury or inflammation, as in the case of skin cancer. This…
