    The nanoparticles have been widely used in the field of physics, chemistry, electronics and mechanics because of their high surface area. One of their most important applications is in drug delivery systems as smart drug nanocarrier. Magnetic nanoparticles (including Fe2O3, Fe3O4) are the good candidates for this purpose. It is clear that, upon to entrance of nanoparticle into biological media (such as plasma), the surface of nanoparticles were covered by protein layers (protein corona). This layer is very stable and created new surface on the nanoparticles. The protein corona layer intracts with cellular receptors and determines the fate of nanoparticles. Protein corona covers the targeting...

    Abstract
    Man’s struggle for optimization in different areas has been an endless one. Optimizing methods of cancer treatment is not an exception. Because of numerous side effects of anti-cancer drugs, drug delivery systems (DDS) have been recently given much interest. Considering some aspects, DDS are helpful in reducing harmful effects of anti-cancer drugs and more efficient healing by these drugs: first by reducing the dosage of drug by controllable and sustainable release of drug in a kinetic (diffusion) pattern; second by smart release of drug in target tissue which in turn protects sound tissues not to be in contact with drug.In this study, three kinds of nanoparticles have been used for DDS...

    Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Despite significant advances in therapeutic interventions for these diseases, the pathophysiology remains incompletely understood. Challenges in drug evaluation include the lack of appropriate clinical trials, such as conventional 2D cell cultures and animal studies, as well as the absence of model systems that can provide complex and patient-specific cardiac functions for diagnosis. Organ-on-a-chip devices have the potential to mimic the body's response to treatments by utilizing microscale cell culture fluid connections and creating realistic models of human organs of interest. Our objective is to develop a...
