July 2014 in “Molecular pharmaceutics” This study found that MPEG-dihexPLA micelles significantly improved the skin deposition of tacrolimus compared to a marketed ointment, suggesting better targeted delivery with reduced systemic absorption.
This study developed a nanocarrier-based gel to enhance the delivery and effectiveness of resveratrol in treating psoriasis. In a mouse model, the gel improved skin penetration and retention, showed notable anti-psoriatic effects, and was deemed safe and biocompatible.
January 2026 in “Nanoscale Advances” In this study, a biocompatible zinc oxide nanocomposite loaded with the anticancer drug 9-Br-Nos demonstrated effective drug delivery and cytotoxicity against lung cancer cells in vitro, while also proving non-toxic to healthy cells, suggesting its potential for targeted lung cancer treatment.
