Nanocarriers as phototherapeutic drug delivery system: Appraisal of three different nanosystems in an in vivo and in vitro exploratory study

The use of nanosystems as diagnosing and therapy systems is increasing each year. There are several nanosystems available and the most prominent ones are: mesoporous silica, nanoemulsion and polymeric nanoparticles. With characteristics like low toxicology, and easy-producing process they have advantages when compared with the traditional system used, as they show specific targeting, controlled release, and higher penetration. In this study we...
