Promising results of application-oriented basic research on nanomedicine in Vietnam

Abstract

During the present decade application-oriented basic research on nanomedicine has rapidly developed in Vietnam. This work is a review of this development. It was directed towards following scientific topics: Biomedical utilization of PLA-TPGS and PLA-PEG, dendrimer-based anticancer drugs, special drug delivery nanosystems, various utilizations of nanocurcumin in nanomedicine, biomedical application of hydrogel nanocomposites, biosensors and biosensing methods, toxicity and antibacterial activity of different types of nanoparticles. Obtained scientific results demonstrated that although Vietnamese application-oriented basic research on nanomedicine began to develop only in this decade, it has achieved very promising successes.
