Huntington's disease (HD) is a monogenic neurodegenerative disease that affects the efferent neurons of the striatum. The protracted evolution of the pathology over 15 to 20 years, after clinical onset in adulthood, underscores the potential of therapeutic ...
Carrier-mediated drug delivery has emerged as a powerful methodology for the treatment of various pathologies. The therapeutic index of traditional and novel drugs is enhanced via the increase of specificity due to targeting of drugs to a particular tissue ...
A common method to induce enhanced short-term endogenous porphyrin synthesis and accumulation in cell is the topical, systemic application of 5-aminolevulinic acid or one of its derivatives. This circumvents the intravenous administration of photosensitize ...
A pump system for the subcutaneous delivery of a liquid medicament, having a pump module (10) comprising a stator housing (28) with a chamber (30), a rotor (32) rotatably and axially slidably received in the chamber and comprising a first axial extension ( ...
Cyclosporins are a family of hydrophobic cyclic undecapeptides produced by the fungus Tolypocladium niveum. The main metabolite cyclosporin A (CsA, see Scheme, R = R' = H) is the first line drug currently used to prevent rejection of organ transplants. Its ...
Diverse device applications for lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics in thick-film form are currently in active development. In the present study, the particle dispersion properties of thick-film ink formulations containing PZT powder have been determine ...
Successful photodynamic therapy of epithelial cancer requires a specific photosensitization of malignant tissue. We evaluate the intensity and localization of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in superficial transitional cell carcinoma and nonmalignant cells of the ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease with devastating clinical effects on cognitive, psychological, and motor functions. These clinical symptoms primarily relate to the progressive loss of medium-spiny GABA-ergic neurons of th ...
Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) is used as a fluorescence marker and photosensitizing agent in photodynamic therapy (PDT). A temporary increase of PpIX in tissues can be obtained by administration of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Lipophilicity is one of the key pa ...
We have investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Lutetium Texaphyrin (Lu-Tex), a second-generation photosensitizer, in the Syrian hamster cheek pouch early cancer model. Ten male hamsters, five with chem. induced early squamous cell cancer of the left che ...
