Nanostructured pH-responsive biocompatible chitosan coated copper oxide nanoparticles: A polymeric smart intracellular delivery system for doxorubicin in breast cancer cells

In this study, we report a novel feasible single step reduction method for the active synthesis of biocompatible chitosan coated copper oxide nanoparticles (Cs-CuO NPs), for loading and delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) into breast cancer cells. The formulated nanoparticles (NPs) were characterized by s...
