Lipoproteins are now recognized as major blood carriers of many hydrophobic porphyrins and related chromophores which are being investigated as possible photosensitizers in the photodynamic therapy of tumours. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the role of the low density lipoprotein (LD

## Abstract Tumour growth and metastasis are totally dependant upon neovascularization. The target cell for tumour neovascularization is the bloodβvessel endothelial cell, and specific angiogenic molecules produced or induced by the tumour are believed to initiate the process. In this report, we re
The use of nanotechnology in drug delivery and imaging in vivo is a rapidly expanding field. The emphases of this review are on biophysical attributes of the drug delivery and imaging platforms as well as the biological aspects that enable targeting of these platforms to injured and diseased tissues
