    Abstract

    Nanoparticle Drug Delivery

    The encapsulation of nanoparticles in hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose is key to treat colorectal cancer through oral administration. In article 2202672 by Ilaria Rea, Hélder A. Santos, and co-workers, gelatin-coated diatomite nanoparticles loaded with galunisertib are functionalized with an anti-L1-CAM antibody that targets metastatic colon cancer cells. These nanoparticles are then encapsulated in a gastro-resistant matrix using microfluidics. When the nanoparticles interact with the targeted cells, the gastro-resistant coating dissolves and galunisertib is released.
