Research Abstract |
Using albumin fusion technology, a novel redox controlling nanomedicine was designed and evaluated for applications in clinical settings. The results from various studies suggested that HSA-thioredoxin fusion protein has great potential as a therapeutic agent for treating oxidative stress and inflammation related diseases. In addition, a significant tumor metastasis activity from the EPR effect of SNO-HSA dimer has been confirmed. Based on the results of the current studies, preparations for a clinical trial led by a clinician are now in progress.
