Sphingomyelin nanosystems loaded with uroguanylin and etoposide for treating metastatic colorectal cancer

Abstract Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to provide new therapeutic options that can improve survival. Sphingomyelin nanosystems (SNs) are a promising typ...
