A multiscale approach to targeted docetaxel formulations: combination therapy, nanotechnology,…
Background
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Docetaxel, first marketed as ‘Taxotere’, has been approved for use as a chemotherapeutic for management of gastric, breast, neck, head, non-small cell lung cancer and prostate cancer.
Main
Taxotere, is a docetaxel formulation…

Influence of Excipient Composition on Survival of Vaginal Lactobacilli in Electrospun Nanofibers
The lack of appropriate delivery systems hinders the use of probiotics in the treatment of vaginal infections. Therefore, the development of a new delivery system for the local administration of vaginal probiotics is necessary. In this study, we selected three vaginal lactobacilli, i.e.,…

Preparation and Evaluation of Extended-Release Nanofibers Loaded with Pramipexole as a Novel Oral…
Purpose
Pramipexole (Prami) is renowned as one of the most widely used drugs in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. This study aimed to prepare slow-release nanofibers of Prami to reduce (or control) the release rate of the drug from the formulation.
Methods
For this purpose, polyvinyl alcohol…
