Drug targeting to specific organs and tissues has become one of the critical endeavors century since use free drugs in conventional dosage forms generally involves difficulties achieving target site at appropriate dose after or during a proper time period. Consequently, search for new drug delivery approaches modes action represent frontier research areas. New systems include lipidic, proteic polymeric technologies provide sustained with better body distribution, protection from harsh...
Abstract An increasing number of innovative therapies have emerged in the field wound healing. Nanostructured systems been used to improve healing at different stages. The drug itself may be formulated a nanoscale such that it can function as its own “carrier” or nanomaterials delivery vehicles. present work covers latest advancements on nano‐based organic and inorganic materials. These novel possess high stability, large surface area tunable compositions demonstrated their wound‐healing...
Scaffolds grafting combined with local delivery of antibiotics at the injury site may promote bone regeneration along prevention infections. In this work, a processing strategy combining 3D-printing polysaccharide-based inks supercritical (sc)CO2 technology was employed to manufacture drug-loaded, nanostructured, and personalized-to-patient aerogels for first time. Methylcellulose (MC) as graft matrix endowed nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) confer bioactivity required in tissue engineering (BTE)....
Androgenetic alopecia is an extremely common dermatological disorder affecting both men and women. Oral finasteride (FNS), a synthetic 4-aza-3-oxosteroid compound with poor aqueous solubility, blocks the peripheral conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in significant reduction DHT concentration, achieving satisfactory results treatment. However, its oral intake generally causes severe side effects. Considering that there currently no scientifically proven treatment, new...
