Efficient treatment of breast cancer xenografts with multifunctionalized iron oxide nanoparticles combining magnetic hyperthermia and anti-cancer drug delivery
TLDR
The therapeutic effects of breast cancer magneticHyperthermia could be strongly enhanced by the combination of MF66 functionalized with N6L and DOX and magnetic hyperthermia and represents a straightforward strategy for translation into the clinical practice when injecting nanoparticles intratumorally.

Multifunctionalized iron oxide nanoparticles for selective drug delivery to CD44-positive cancer cells.
TLDR
This work presents the synthesis and characterization of novel multifunctionalized iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with antiCD44 antibody and gemcitabine derivatives, and their application for the selective treatment of CD44-positive cancer cells and shows the selective drug delivery potential of the MNPs.

DNA and aptamer stabilized gold nanoparticles for targeted delivery of anticancer therapeutics.
TLDR
Modified GNPs loaded with doxorubicin or AZD8055 show significant and increased reduction of cell viability in breast cancer and uveal melanoma cell lines, highlighting that modified GNPs can be functionalized to increase the efficacy of cancer therapeutics and may further reduce toxicity by increasing targeted delivery towards malignant cells.

Discovery of selective ligands for telomeric RNA G-quadruplexes (TERRA) through 19F-NMR based fragment screening.
TLDR
The first successful application of (19)F-NMR fragment-based screening to identify chemically diverse compounds that bind to an RNA molecule such as TERRA is reported, suggesting a selective recognition of this particular quadruplex topology and that different ligands may recognize specific sites in propeller-like parallel G-quadruplexes.
