Silicone IPN Modified Thermoplastics
Silicone-hybrid polymer systems possess a desirable combination of mechanical, physiological, wear and release properties. A reactive processing method for producing substantially thermoplastic silicone semi-interpenetrating (pseudointerpenetrating) polymer network systems offers a practical cost effective route to these materials.

GelMA/DMAEMA hybrid hydrogels for release of ibuprofen. ABSTRACT In this study, biocompatible hydrogels intended for topical delivery of ibuprofen were synthesized from gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and 2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) by varying their proportions. The impact of different GelMA and DMAEMA ratios was comprehensively evaluated

Systemic and Intra-Habenular Activation of the Orphan G Protein-Coupled Receptor GPR139 Decreases Compulsive-Like Alcohol Drinking and Hyperalgesia in Alcohol-Dependent Rats. [PDF]
GPR139 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is expressed mainly in the brain, with the highest expression in the medial habenula. The modulation of GPR139 receptor function has been hypothesized to be beneficial in the treatment of some ...
