Innovative lipids for Your Nucleic Acid Delivery research
The history and evolution of Nucleic Acid Delivery systems
mRNA and liposomes were both first discovered in the 1960s, and liposomes were used to deliver mRNA into eukaryotic cells in 1978.1,2 Even with the ability to inject mRNA into cells, there were several technical challenges to overcome…

Improving aqueous solubility of paclitaxel with polysarcosine-b-poly(γ-benzyl glutamate)…
New stealth amphiphilic copolymers based on polysarcosine (PSar) rather than poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) have gained more attention for their use as excipients in nanomedicine. In this study, several polysarcosine-b-poly(γ-benzyl glutamate) (PSar-b-PGluOBn) block copolymers were synthesized by ring…

Recent Advances in Hydrogels for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dry Eye Disease
Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is the most common clinical ocular surface disease. Given its multifactorial etiology, no consensus has been reached on the diagnosis criteria for dry eye disease. Topical drug administration remains the mainstay of treatment but is limited to the rapid clearance from…

Preparation of nanodelivery systems for oral administration of low molecular weight heparin
Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are only used parenterally. They have low oral absorption and bioavailability due to their high anionic charge density, exposure to enzymatic degradation and first pass effect. The aim of this study was the development and evaluation of nanodelivery systems to…
