Abstract
For decades polyphenols have been considered to be sound, naturally occurring therapeutic compounds. While there are several polyphenols with special applications used in the treatment of cancer and other diseases, they need a specific carrier in order to reach the cells targeted for treatment. Recently, a number of new technologies have been developed on a nanoscale, such as nanoparticles, nanocapsules and nanofibers that can provide targeted delivery of polyphenols for medical purposes. This work summarizes the current trends in nanoscale delivery technology for polyphenols in cancer treatment and outlines its capabilities and the significant improvements that have been made. Special emphasis is given to the materials and to the manufacturing processes used to produce these kinds of drug delivery system nanostructures.

Drug-Targeted Approach with Polymer Nanocomposites for Improved Therapeutics
Polymer nanocomposites have been recognized as an advanced and cutting-edge technique in drug targeting administration. These materials combine the unique features of nanoparticles with the adaptability of polymers to produce highly personalized drug administration devices. Integrating nanoparticles containing pharmaceuticals into a polymer matrix enables researchers to regulate the rates at ...read more
RNA Molecules in the Treatment of Human Diseases
Messenger and non-coding RNAs, including long and small transcripts, are mediators of gene expression. Gene expression at the RNA level shows significant aberrations in human diseases, including cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Human transcripts serve either as biomarkers of diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of treatment response, and/or therapy ...read more
