Liposomal Nanocarriers Designed for Sub-Endothelial Matrix Targeting under Vascular Flow Conditions

Vascular interventions result in the disruption of the tunica intima and the exposure of sub-endothelial matrix proteins. Nanoparticles designed to bind to these exposed matrices could provide targeted drug delivery systems aimed at inhibiting dysfunctional vascular remodeling and improving interven...

description Vascular interventions result in the disruption of the tunica intima and the exposure of sub-endothelial matrix proteins. Nanoparticles designed to bind to these exposed matrices could provide targeted drug delivery systems aimed at inhibiting dysfunctional vascular remodeling and improving intervention outcomes.
