Background With the recent approval of the first small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic formulated as nanoparticles, there is increased incentive for establishing the factors of importance for the design of stable solid dosage forms of such complex nano ...
Controlled drug release is a promising pathway of biomedicine, meant to suppress side effects with the aim of increasing patient's comfort. A route to achieve this goal represents the encapsulation of drugs into matrixes, capable to develop physical forces ...
In cochlear implants, the electrode insertion trauma during surgery can cause damage residual hearing. Preserving the residual hearing is an important challenge and the localized administration of drugs, such as steroids, is one of the most promising ways, ...
We present a simple preparation route to obtain a nanoscale meta-stable hard-magnetic epsilon-Fe2O3 phase, using silica coated beta-FeOOH nanorods as a precursor and an annealing process. The synthesized epsilon-Fe2O3 nanoparticles exhibit large coercivity ...
The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in normal tissues is associated with side effects of many cancer treatments. This is, in particular, the case for the skin photosensitization experienced by certain patients subjected to PDT based on a system ...
Miniaturization has been a driving force in many areas of science and technology, most notably in the electronics industry. Droplet-based microfluidics, a methode to produce emulsion drops in a controlled way and at high-throughputs, enables the miniaturiz ...
The deposition of fragrance delivery systems onto human hair from a shampoo formulation is a challenging task, as the primary function of shampoo is to cleanse the hair by removing primarily hydrophobic moieties. In this work, to tackle this challenge, pha ...
Regenerative medicine aims to repair body tissues when natural mechanisms fail. Growth factors (GFs) are essential proteins that promote tissue regeneration upon injury, and as such, are very promising therapeutic drugs in regenerative medicine. Due to the ...
We explore the influence (i) of the interaction between aluminium and alumina, and (ii) of sodium impurities present in Bayer alumina, on the pressure infiltration of alumina particle preforms with molten aluminium. At 1000°C or above, although the alumini ...
OBJECTIVES The aims of this systematic review are to provide an objective summary of the published literature specific to the treatment of classical trigeminal neuralgia with stereotactic radiosurgery (RS) and to develop consensus guideline recommendations ...
