Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Renal handling of potassium in dogs with chronic renal insufficiency

Kidney International, 1981
The dynamics of potassium excretion were examined in normal dogs and dogs with chronic renal insufficiency of at least 4 weeks' duration (remnant model). All animals, in balance on diets providing 15, 50, or 100 mEq of potassium and 100 mEq of sodium, were challenged with 50 mEq of potassium chloride.
