Soft Nanocarriers as Antimicrobial Co‐Delivery Systems to Combat Resistant Infections

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Soft nanocarrier‐based co‐delivery systems present a versatile and promising platform for combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by enabling spatiotemporally controlled, pathogen‐specific drug release. Their tunable physicochemical properties allow for the co‐encapsulation of synergistic antimicrobial agents, optimization of drug ratios, and surface ...

Neuroprotection by Chitosan and Chitosan Nanoparticles

open access: yes, 2013
In the U.S., about 200,000 people are currently living with spinal cord injury (SCI). An estimated of 50%-70% of all SCI cases occurs in the range of ages between 15-35 years old. The destructive neurotrauma results in the majority of adult disability, even after patients suffering with SCI survived from the acute death.
