Efficient integration and fast excretion of drug carrier: The trojan horse for cancer therapy

open access: yesSmart Materials in Medicine, 2020
Macromolecular engineering has benefited the fabrication of drug delivery systems, owing to the versatile and tunable physical and chemical properties of the polymeric carriers as needed. However, the slow excretion rate of the macromolecule carriers has

Colloidal carriers for ophthalmic drug delivery

open access: yes, 2005
To achieve effective drug concentration at the intended site for a sufficient period of time is a requisite desired for many drug formulations. For drugs intended to ocular delivery, its poor bioavailability is due to pre-corneal factors.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Evaluation of the Peer Support Program (Student Drug Prevention) 1986-1987

open access: yes, 2019
The Peer Support program is a school based program funded by the National Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NCADA) as a drug prevention strategy. Prior to the existence of the NCADA the program was funded through the NSW Drug and Alcohol Authority.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Macromolecular Drug Carriers for Targeted Glioblastoma Therapy: Preclinical Studies, Challenges, and Future Perspectives

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2018
Glioblastoma, the most common, aggressive brain tumor, ranks among the least curable cancers—owing to its strong tendency for intracranial dissemination, high proliferation potential, and inherent tumor resistance to radiation and chemotherapy.

Identification of a Shiga toxin A‐derived peptide internalized into Gb3 receptor‐bearing cells via interaction with the Shiga toxin B subunit

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...

Unveiling the nanoworld of antimicrobial resistance: integrating nature and nanotechnology

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
A significant global health crisis is predicted to emerge due to antimicrobial resistance by 2050, with an estimated 10 million deaths annually. Increasing antibiotic resistance necessitates continuous therapeutic innovation as conventional antibiotic ...

An Atypical Mitochondrial Carrier That Mediates Drug Action in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Elucidating the mechanism of action of trypanocidal compounds is an important step in the development of more efficient drugs against Trypanosoma brucei. In a screening approach using an RNAi library in T. brucei bloodstream forms, we identified a member
