Breast cancer affects more than one million women per year worldwide. Through this study, we develop a nanoparticle-based drug delivery system to target breast cancer cells. Aspirin has been found to inhibit thromboembolic diseases with its tumor-preventing activity. As a consequence, it relieves disease symptoms and severity. Here, mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MNP) have been used to deliver Aspirin to the tumor location. MNP-based Aspirin in folic acid (F)-conjugated Polydopamine (MNP-Asp-PD-PG-F) vehicles are prepared for targeted breast cancer therapy. The vehicle hinges on MNP altered ...

Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the arylsulfatase B gene (ARSB) and consequent deficient activity of ARSB, a lysosomal enzyme involved in glycosaminoglycan (s) (GAGs) metabolism. Here we present the results study of ARSB DNA analysis in MPS VI patients in the Russian Federation (RF) and other republics of Former Soviet Union. In a cohort of 68 patients (57 families) with MPS VI, a total of 28 different pathogenic alleles were found. The most prevalent nucleotide changes included c.194C>T (Ser65Phe) and c.454C>T ...
