Advances in Hyaluronic-Acid-Based (Nano)Devices for Cancer Therapy.

Cancer is the main cause of fatality all over the world with a considerable growth rate. Many biologically active nanoplatforms have been exploited for tumor treatment. Of nanodevices, hyaluronic acid (HA)-based systems have shown to be promising candidates for cancer therapy due to their high biocompatibility and cell internalization. Herein, surface functionalization of different nanoparticles, e.g. organic- and inorganic-based nanoparticles are highlighted. Subsequently, HA-based nanostructures and their applications in cancer therapy are presented. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
