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 ...
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 ...
Cells, Materials, and Fabrication Processes for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-11)
Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer worldwide, with myocardial infarction (MI) responsible for approximately 1 in 6 deaths. The lack of endogenous regenerative capacity, added to the deleterious remodelling ...
Extraction, Characterization and Incorporation of Hypericum scruglii Extract in Ad Hoc Formulated Phospholipid Vesicles Designed for the Treatment of Skin Diseases Connected with Oxidative Stress
(MDPI, 2020-10-23)
An extract of Hypericum scruglii, an endangered endemic plant of Sardinia (Italy), was prepared and characterized. It was loaded in special phospholipid vesicles, glycerosomes, which were modified by adding maltodextrin ...
Evaluation of Glycerylphytate Crosslinked Semi- and Interpenetrated Polymer Membranes of Hyaluronic Acid and Chitosan for Tissue Engineering
(MDPI, 2020-11-11)
In the present study, semi- and interpenetrated polymer network (IPN) systems based on hyaluronic acid (HA) and chitosan using ionic crosslinking of chitosan with a bioactive crosslinker, glycerylphytate (G1Phy), and UV ...
