Targeting to endothelial cells augments the protective effect of novel dual bioactive antioxidant/anti-inflammatory nanoparticles.

abstract：:Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are one of the most promising nanocarriers to increase the oral absorption of drugs with poor solubility and low permeability. However, the absorption mechanism of SLNs remains incomplete and thus requires further careful consideration. In this study, positively charged chitosan (CS) m...
