In recent years, nanotechnologies have been applied more and more in the field of animal production. Not only can it improve animal immunity, oxidation resistance, and production and decreased antibiotic use and manure odor, which is conducive to bring environment improvement. The resistance of bacteria towards traditional antibiotics currently, constitutes one of the most important health care issues with serious ... Read more

Purpose: Over the past 30 years, no consistent survival benefits have been recorded for anticancer agents of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), except for the multikinase inhibitor sorafenib (Nexavar®), which clinically achieves only ~3 months overall survival benefit. This modest benefit is attributed to limited aqueous solubility, slow dissolution rate and, consequently, limited absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, novel formulation ... Read more

Cancer is one of the main causes of worldwide mortality, due to the absence of precise diagnostic tools for the cancer early stages. Thus, early diagnosis, which supplies important information for therapy of cancer timely, is of great prominence for propagation of cancer cells, controlling the growth of the disease, and improving of patients survival rates. To attain the goals ... Read more
