Solid-in-oil nanodispersion as a novel topical transdermal delivery to enhance stability and skin…
l-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C, VC)is the most abundant antioxidant in human skin. But its poor penetration into the skin and unstability limit the application. The aim of the study was to promote the topical skin permeation and retention of VC, increase the stability as well as effectiveness by a novel…

Recent advances in long-acting drug delivery systems for anticancer drug
The use of systemic anticancer chemotherapy is intrinsically limited by its toxicity. Whether dealing with small molecules or biopharmaceuticals, after systemic administration, small doses fail to reach effective intratumoral concentrations, while high doses with significant tumor inhibition effects…
