Cancer is one of the reason for mortality and its individual and collective impact is substantial. Conventional chemotherapy utilizes drugs that can destroy Tumor cells effectively. But these agents destroy healthy cells along with the tumor cells, leading to many adverse effects which include hypersensitivity reactions, nephrotoxicity, and neurotoxicity. To minimize the adverse effects, various drug delivery systems (DDSs) has been developed. Among them, nanoparticles are attractive platforms for it. So this review paper explores the recent work done on targeted delivery, enhancing tumor accumulation and longer blood circulation using more effective biomaterial that will enhance the properties of nanoparticles. Moreover, various target-specific delivery of drugs like antibody-targeted, targeting delivery through angiogenesis, mitochondria, CD44 receptor are also explained.

Osteosarcoma is one of the most aggressive cancers which greatly threatens the health of adolescents and surgery is difficult to resect the whole piece of tumor tissue. The residual tumor cells might proliferate at the tumor site and invade into the blood circulation, leading to tumor recurrence and metastasis. Besides, the invasion of tumor cells could also lead to bone injury. We designed a recombinant fibronectin-cadherin fusion protein/hydrophobically modified glycol chitosan-PTX nanoparticles (rFN-CDH/HGC-PTX) layer-by-layer self-assembly polymer based on biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic (BCP) (BCP-PEI-(rFN/CDH-PTX/HGC)n-rFN/CDH). The SEM, FTIR, XPS and contact angle experiments proved the successful synthesis of the polymer. The chemotherapy drug PTX and bone-repairing-related rFN/CDH fusion protein could be stably released within one week and the in vitro experiments exhibited the efficacy of the polymer to kill residual tumor cells and promote the proliferation of osteoblast, confirming that our polymer was a superior material for postoperative osteosarcoma therapy.

The advancements of magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents (MRCAs) are continuously driven by the critical needs for early detection and diagnosis of diseases, especially for cancer, because MRCAs improve diagnostic accuracy significantly. Although hydrophilic gadolinium (III) (Gd3+) complex-based MRCAs have achieved great success in clinical practice, the Gd3+-complexes have several inherent drawbacks including Gd3+ leakage and short blood circulation time, resulting in the potential long-term toxicity and narrow imaging time window, respectively. Nanotechnology offers the possibility for the development of nontoxic MRCAs with an enhanced sensitivity and advanced functionalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergistic therapy. Herein, we provide an overview of recent successes in the development of renal clearable MRCAs, especially nanodots (NDs, also known as ultrasmall nanoparticles (NPs)) by unique advantages such as high relaxivity, long blood circulation time, good biosafety, and multiple functionalities. It is hoped that this review can provide relatively comprehensive information on the construction of novel MRCAs with promising clinical translation.
