Intrapericardial Delivery of APA-Microcapsules as Promising Stem Cell Therapy Carriers in an Experimental Acute Myocardial Infarction Model
(MDPI, 2021-11-01)
The administration of cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is very promising. CDC encapsulation in alginate-poly-l-lysine-alginate (APA) could increase cell survival and adherence. The ...
Benefits of cryopreservation as long-term storage method of encapsulated cardiosphere-derived cells for cardiac therapy: A biomechanical analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-09-25)
[EN]Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) encapsulated within alginate-poly-L-lysine-alginate (APA) microcapsules present a promising treatment alternative for myocardial infarction. However, clinical translatability of ...
Hyaluronic acid-based nanoplatforms for Doxorubicin: A review of stimuli-responsive carriers, co-delivery and resistance suppression
(Elsevier, 2021-11-15)
[EN]An important motivation for the use of nanomaterials and nanoarchitectures in cancer therapy emanates from the widespread emergence of drug resistance. Although doxorubicin (DOX) induces cell cycle arrest and DNA damage ...
Lactoferrin as Immune-Enhancement Strategy for SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Alzheimer’s Disease Patients
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04-25)
Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) (COVID-19) causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. Severe illness of COVID-19 largely occurs in older people and recent evidence indicates that demented patients have higher risk for COVID-19. ...
3D-Printed Coaxial Hydrogel Patches with Mussel-Inspired Elements for Prolonged Release of Gemcitabine
(MDPI, 2021-12-13)
With the aim of fabricating drug-loaded implantable patches, a 3D printing technique was employed to produce novel coaxial hydrogel patches. The core-section of these patches contained a dopamine-modified methacrylated ...
Excipient-Free Inhalable Microparticles of Azithromycin Produced by Electrospray: A Novel Approach to Direct Pulmonary Delivery of Antibiotics
(MDPI, 2021-11-16)
Inhalation therapy offers several advantages in respiratory disease treatment. Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic with poor solubility and bioavailability but with a high potential to be used to fight lung infections. ...
Design of a Nasal Spray Based on Cardiospermum halicacabum Extract Loaded in Phospholipid Vesicles Enriched with Gelatin or Chondroitin Sulfate
(MDPI, 2021-11-04)
The extract of Cardiospermum halicacabum L. (C. halicacabum) obtained from flower, leaf and vine was loaded into modified phospholipid vesicles aiming at obtaining sprayable, biocompatible and effective nasal spray ...
Development of new child-friendly methods to measure food-evoked emotions holistically
(2022-07-29)
Before conducting a child-centered study, the selection of the methodology to use is of special importance since it should be adapted to their cognitive, physical, and social stage of development. On this regard, researchers ...
Antibiotic-loaded nanstructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for multiresistant respiratory tract and wound infections.
(2020-12-10)
La resistencia a los antibióticos (AMR) es un problema grave que debe abordarse lo antes posible. La colistina y la amikacina representan unos de los pocos antibióticos eficaces contra las infecciones de las bacterias ...
Does Finishing at Pasture Influence the Colour of Muscle from Suckler Bulls and Can Colour Be Used to Authenticate Their Pre-Slaughter Diet?
(MDPI, 2022-07)
[EN] The primary objective of this study was to compare the colour of muscle from bulls finished at pasture or indoors on a high concentrate diet. The ancillary objectives were to identify possible explanations for any ...
