Chitosan-Alginate Nanoparticle System Efficiently Delivers Doxorubicin to MCF-7 Cells
A chitosan-alginate nanoparticle system encapsulating doxorubicin (DOX) was prepared by a novel ionic gelation method using alginate as the crosslinker. These nanoparticles were around 100 nm in size and more stable with higher positive zeta potential and had higher % encapsulation efficiency (95%)...
