Chitosan‐Based pH‐Responsive Films and Edible Coatings to Enhance Fruit Shelf‐Life: Impact of Plant Biomolecules and Composition

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Chitosan based coatings/films forming solution with the use ofplant extracts and parameters for fruit shelf life analysis. ABSTRACT Fresh fruits are a natural source of various minerals and vitamins, which are essential for human health. However, a rapid rate of respiration, water loss and fast ripening ability result in shorter shelf life and ...

Layer-by-layer films containing emodin or emodin encapsulated in liposomes for transdermal applications [PDF]

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2018
Dermal drug release systems are an important area of research because they can be applied to the skin in a non-invasive procedure using a lower concentration of drugs. In this study, we have developed two types of Layer-by-Layer (LbL) films for releasing emodin (EM). In one system, EM was intercalated with poly(ethylenimine) PEI and poly(vinyl sufonate)

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.
