Over recent decades, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) based nano- and micro- drug delivery vehicles have been rapidly developed since PLGA was approved by the Food Drug Administration (FDA). Common factors that influence particle properties extensively studied researchers, such as size, polydispersity index (PDI), surface morphology, zeta potential, loading efficiency. These all found to be key for determining release kinetics of particles. For applications behavior is a critical property, systems are still plagued with issue burst when large portion suddenly released from rather than controlled particles designed for. Other can play role in behavior, glass transition temperature (Tg). The Tg, however, an underreported property current systems. This review summarizes basic knowledge particles, effect Tg on presents awareness applications.

Theranostics has emerged in recent years to provide an efficient and safer alternative cancer management. This review presents updated description of nanotheranostic formulations under development for skin (including melanoma), head neck, thyroid, breast, gynecologic, prostate, colon cancers, brain-related cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma. With this focus, we appraised the clinical advantages drawbacks metallic, polymeric, lipid-based nanosystems, such as low invasiveness, toxicity surrounding healthy tissues, high precision, deeper tissue penetration, dosage adjustment a real-time setting. Particularly recognizing increased complexity multimodality area, multifunctional hybrid nanoparticles, comprising different nanomaterials functionalized with targeting moieties and/or anticancer drugs, present best characteristics theranostics. Several examples, focusing on their design, composition, imaging treatment modalities, vitro vivo characterization, are detailed herein. Briefly, all studies followed common trend design these theranostics use materials drugs that share both inherent (e.g., contrast agents) therapeutic properties heating or production reactive oxygen species). rationale allows one apparently overcome heterogeneity, complexity, harsh conditions tumor microenvironments, leading successful targeted therapies.
