Engineering of chitosan-based derivatives for non-viral gene delivery

Gene therapy offers the possibility to treat or even cure diseases originating from genetic defects by introducing a therapeutic gene in target cells or correcting the initial defective gene. Amongst different options, non-viral vectors rely on the deliver ...

Protease-activation using anti-idiotypic masks enables tumor specificity of a folate receptor 1-T cell bispecific antibody

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

T-cell bispecific antibodies (TCBs) crosslink tumor and T-cells to induce tumor cell killing. While TCBs are very potent, on-target off-tumor toxicity remains a challenge when selecting targets. Here, we describe a protease-activated anti-folate receptor 1 ...

Vitamin B12 deficiency and impaired expression of amnionless during aging

Sonia Karaz, Laurence Goulet, Alice Pannerec

Background Physical frailty and loss of mobility in elderly individuals lead to reduced independence, quality of life, and increased mortality. Vitamin B12 deficiency has been linked to several age-related chronic diseases, including in the musculo-skeleta ...

Folic acid on iron oxide nanoparticles: platform with high potential for simultaneous targeting, MRI detection and hyperthermia treatment of lymph node metastases of prostate cancer

Heinrich Hofmann, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Débora Bonvin

The overexpression of the folate receptor in most cancers has been widely exploited to specifically deliver folic acid (FA) coupled nanomedicines to tumors. However, complex coupling chemistry is often used to bind FA to the nanoparticles. Furthermore, ver ...

Superparamagnetic nanohybrids with cross-linked polymers providing higher in vitro stability

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi

A simple, rapid, reproducible, and scalable method for generating highly stable cross-linked superparamagnetic nanohybrids was developed. Pre-coating of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle surfaces with a biocompatible polymer, hydroxy polyvinyl alco ...

Kinetics of Ultrasonic Drug Delivery from Targeted Micelles

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

To minimize the adverse side effects of conventional chemotherapy, a targeted micellar drug carrier was investigated that retains hydrophobic drugs in its core and then releases the drug via ultrasonic activation. This paper compares the percent drug relea ...

Vitamin D and energy homeostasis-of mice and men

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino

The vitamin D endocrine system has many extraskeletal targets, including adipose tissue. 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D-3, the active form of vitamin D, not only increases adipogenesis and the expression of typical adipocyte genes but also decreases the expressio ...

Definition and quantification of acute inflammatory white matter injury in the immature brain by MRI/MRS at high magnetic field

Rolf Gruetter, Nicolas Kunz

Background: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a major risk factor for both perinatal and long-term morbidity. Bovine lactoferrin (bLf) is a major milk glycoprotein considered as a pleiotropic functional nutrient. The impact of maternal supplementat ...

Investigating the acoustic release of doxorubicin from targeted micelles

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The main problem associated with the administration of anti-cancer medication is that the drug is delivered throughout the body causing undesirable side effects. Therefore, it is important to synthesize drug carriers capable of minimizing the adverse side ...
