BSA- and Elastin-Coated GO, but Not Collagen-Coated GO, Enhance the Biological Performance of Alginate Hydrogels
(MDPI, 2020-06-11)
The use of embedded cells within alginate matrices is a developing technique with great clinical applications in cell-based therapies. However, one feature that needs additional investigation is the improvement of ...
Overcoming the Inflammatory Stage of Non-Healing Wounds: In Vitro Mechanism of Action of Negatively Charged Microspheres (NCMs)
(MDPI, 2020-06-03)
Negatively charged microspheres (NCMs) represent a new therapeutic approach for wound healing since recent clinical trials have shown NCM efficacy in the recovery of hard-to-heal wounds that tend to stay in the inflammatory ...
Assessment of Soybean Oil Oxidative Stability from Rapid Analysis of its Minor Component Profile
(MDPI, 2020-09-21)
The minor components of vegetable oils are important for their oxidative stability. In order to know to what extent they can influence oil behaviour under oxidative conditions, two commercial soybean oils, one virgin and ...
Increased antiparkinson efficacy of the combined administration of VEGF- and GDNF-loaded nanospheres in a partial lesion model of Parkinson's disease
(Dove Medical Press, 2014)
Current research efforts are focused on the application of growth factors, such as glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as neuroregenerative approaches that will ...
Mechanism of transport of saquinavir-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers across the intestinal barrier
(Elsevier, 2013)
[EN] The aims of this work were (i) to evaluate the potential of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) as a tool to 24
enhance the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds using saquinavir (SQV), a BCS class IV ...
Dextran and protamine-based solid lipid nanoparticles as potential vectors for the treatment of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2012-04)
[EN]The goal of the present study was to analyze the potential application of nonviral vectors based on solid lipid
nanoparticles (SLN) for the treatment of ocular diseases by gene therapy, specifically X-linked juvenile ...
Drug pollution and pharmacotherapy inpsychiatry: A“platypus”in the room
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)
Preoccupation about potential deleterious effects of pharmaceuticals in the environment is growing fast. Psychiatric pharmaceuticals have received particular attention because of their increasing use and their potential ...
Nanostructured Lipid Carriers for Delivery of Chemotherapeutics: A Review
(MDPI, 2020-03-23)
The efficacy of current standard chemotherapy is suboptimal due to the poor solubility and short half-lives of chemotherapeutic agents, as well as their high toxicity and lack of specificity which may result in severe side ...
iPSC-Derived Intestinal Organoids from Cystic Fibrosis Patients Acquire CFTR Activity upon TALEN-Mediated Repair of the p.F508del Mutation
(Cell Press, 2020-06-12)
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the main genetic cause of death among the Caucasian population. The disease is characterized by abnormal fluid and electrolyte mobility across secretory epithelia. The first manifestations occur ...
Towards brain-tissue-like biomaterials
(Nature, 2020-07-09)
Many biomaterials have been developed which aim to match the elastic modulus of the brain for improved interfacing. However, other properties such as ultimate toughness, tensile strength, poroviscoelastic responses, energy ...
