Drug Carrier

The process of fluidized bed drying of granules was comparatively evaluated by on-line real-time measurements of granule moisture content (MC) using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and audible acoustic emission (AAE). The extruded granules were prepared by kneading a powder blend containing…

Chronic inflammation is a significant pathological process found in a range of disease states. Treatments to reduce inflammation in this family of diseases may improve symptoms and disease progression, but are largely limited by variable response rates, cost, and off-target effects. Macrophages are…
