• system after further technological optimization. In addition, glutamate is a potential growth factor in tumor development. Glutamate can be removed using γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles not only from brain cancer but also from peripheral tissue cancer. It was shown that cells from non-CNS cancers may secrete

• both in vitro and in vivo studies [5]. Gold nanoparticles conjugated with a trans-activating transcriptional activator (TAT) peptide modification encapsulated with the drug doxorubicin showed enhanced toxicity in brain cancer models [6]. Further, mesoporous silica nanoparticles were successfully used

• often cause serious side effects. Thus, the necessity of a safe and effective formulation and drug delivery approach emerges for these potent anticancer drugs from the taxane family [10][11][12][13]. Successful treatment of brain cancer is dependent on the efficient and safe delivery of chemotherapeutic

• research come from a global compilation of research publication information on NEDD directed at brain cancer. We derive a family of indicators that address multiple facets of research collaboration and knowledge transfer patterns. Results show that: (1) international cooperation is increasing, but

• go well beyond journal impact factors. Results offer useful technical intelligence to help researchers identify potential collaborators and to help inform R&D management and science & innovation policy for such nanotechnologies. Keywords: bibliometrics; brain cancer; collaboration network; nano

• or managers who are making strategic technical decisions regarding NEDD for brain cancer gain useful intelligence on technical and international capabilities. The research employs bibliometric, text analytic, and social network analysis methods to explore the collaboration patterns at the country

Caveolin-1 and CDC42 mediated endocytosis of silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles in HeLa cells
