Nanostructured Lipid Carriers for Improved Delivery of Therapeutics via the Oral Route

Journal of Nanotechnology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Drug delivery via the oral route has always been challenging for poorly soluble drugs. Acid‐induced hydrolysis, enzymatic degradation, and poor mucosal absorbency remain the primary hiccups for effective oral delivery of medications. With the advent of nanotechnology, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have emerged as a promising delivery carrier ...

Beyond Carbon: The Contributions of South American Tropical Humid and Subhumid Forests to Ecosystem Services

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Tropical forests are recognized for their role in providing diverse ecosystem services (ESs), with carbon uptake the best recognized. The capacity of tropical forests to provide ESs is strongly linked to their enormous biodiversity. However, causal relationships between biodiversity and ESs are poorly understood.

Development of Biodegradable Delivery Systems Containing Novel 1,2,4‐Trioxolane Based on Bacterial Polyhydroxyalkanoates

Advances in Polymer Technology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
In this work, delivery systems in the form of microparticles and films containing 1,2,4‐trioxolane (ozonide, OZ) based on polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) were developed. Main systems’ characteristics were investigated: the particle yield, average diameter, zeta potential, surface morphology, loading capacity, and drug release profile of microparticles, as

PCL/Andiroba Oil (Carapa guianensis Aubl.) Hybrid Film for Wound Healing Applications. [PDF]

Polymers (Basel), 2021
Developing a biomimetic material to wound care is an emerging need for the healing process. Poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is a polymer with the necessary dressing’s requirements often used in medicine. Their surface, physic-chemical and biological properties can be modified by adding bioactive compounds, such as andiroba seed oil (Carapa guianensis ...
