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 ...
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 ...
Encapsulation of Oleuropein in Nanostructured Lipid Carriers: Biocompatibility and Antioxidant Efficacy in Lung Epithelial Cells
(MDPI, 2020-05-06)
Oxidative damage has been linked to a number of diseases. Oleuropein (OLE), a natural occurring polyphenol from olive leaves (Olea europaea L.), is known to be a potent antioxidant compound with inherent instability and ...
