Pharmaceutically modified subtilisins withstand acidic conditions and effectively degrade gluten in vivo [PDF]
, 2019 Detoxification of gluten immunogenic epitopes is a promising strategy for the treatment of celiac disease. Our previous studies have shown that these epitopes can be degraded in vitro by subtilisin enzymes derived from Rothia mucilaginosa, a natural ...

Ultrasound assisted siRNA delivery using PEG-siPlex loaded microbubbles [PDF]
, 2008 Short interfering RNA (siRNA) attracts much attention for the treatment of various diseases. However, its delivery, especially via systemic routes, remains a challenge. Indeed, naked siRNAs are rapidly degraded, while complexed siRNAs massively aggregate
