From Surfactants to Viscoelastic Capsules
Esther Amstad, Gaia De Angelis, Natascha Ilena Gray
Micrometer sized capsules are often used as single entities for the encapsulation and release of active ingredients, for example in food, cosmetics, and drug delivery. Important parameters that determine the stability of capsules and the release of reagent ...
WILEY2023Repurposed drug combination via high-throughput screening and dual drug delivery system development for the treatment of retinoblastoma
The goal of retinoblastoma (RB) treatment is to save the child's life, eyes and functional vision, with that order of priority. The management of RB is complex and involves strategically chosen methods of surgical enucleation, external beam radiotherapy, i ...
EPFL2022Islet Encapsulation: New Developments for the Treatment of Type 1 Diabetes
Sandrine Gerber, Qixing Zhang, Yi Wang, Léo Bühler
Islet transplantation is a promising approach for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Currently, clinical islet transplantation is limited by allo - and autoimmunity that may cause partial or complete loss of islet function within a short period of tim ...
2022Advanced characterization of regioselectively substituted methylcellulose model compounds by DNP enhanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy
David Lyndon Emsley, Pierrick Berruyer, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Michel Bardet
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization MAS NMR is introduced to characterize model methylcellulose ether compounds at natural isotopic abundance. In particular an approach is provided to determine the position of the methyl ether group within the repeating unit. Spe ...
2021Bioinspired Viscoelastic Capsules: Delivery Vehicles and Beyond
Esther Amstad, Gianluca Nicolas Etienne, Irvine Lian Hao Ong
Microcapsules are often used as individually dispersed carriers of active ingredients to prolong their shelf life or to protect premature reactions with substances contained in the surrounding. This study goes beyond this application and employs microcapsu ...
2019Capsules with submicron shells: production, stability, and leakage behavior
Capsules are often employed to prolong the shelf-life of active ingredients such as many drugs, food additives, or cosmetic substances because they delay their oxidation or prevent interactions with molecules contained in the surrounding. If designed prope ...
