| dc.description.abstract | This thesis is a theoretical research of about the use of Lipid Nanoparticles in cancer treatments. In order to show the functionality and benefits as an alternative and/or complementary process to the ones used right now, such as chemotherapy, surgery, hormonal therapy, and immunotherapy. Lipid Nanoparticles is a specific treatment, which main objective is to distribute the drug throughout liposomes, vaccines therapies with the mRNA, looking forward the reduction of collateral effects of other aggressive treatments that impact not only the tumour but the rest of the body and causing weakness in the cancer patient organism.
Lipid Nanoparticles are used in genetic therapy treatments, which are part of active specific treatments.
In order to understand why to use this new technology in therapies, it is quickly explained the types of cancer and their evolution to attempt to find a fast way to fight this illness and at the same time, how it is attacked the patient immune system.
This research may be taken as a theoretical base for future practical investigations at lab levels, in order to deep further in the functionality of lipid nanoparticles; where the benefits and consequences of the use of new technology strategies may be shown. | |
