Abstract Antimicrobial resistance and tolerance (AMR&T) are urgent global health concerns, with alarmingly increasing numbers of antimicrobial drugs failing a corresponding rise in related deaths. Several reasons for this situation can be cited, such as the misuse traditional antibiotics, massive use sanitizing measures, overuse antibiotics agriculture, fisheries, cattle. AMR&T management requires multifaceted approach involving various strategies at different levels, patient’s...

The development of a self-regulated minimally invasive system for insulin delivery can be considered as the holy grail in field diabetes mellitus. A capable releasing response to blood glucose levels would significantly improve quality life diabetic patients, eliminating need frequent finger-prick tests and providing better glycaemic control with lower risk hypoglycaemia. In this context, latest advances glucose-responsive microneedle-based transdermal are here compiled thorough analysis...

Costimulation via CD137 (4-1BB) enhances antitumor immunity mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Anti-CD137 agonist antibodies elicit mild liver inflammation in mice, and the maximum tolerated dose of Urelumab, an anti-human monoclonal antibody, clinic was defined inflammation-related side effects. A protease-activated prodrug form anti-mouse antibody 1D8 (1D8 Probody therapeutic, Pb-Tx) constructed found to be selectively activated tumor microenvironment. This construct, which encompasses a...

The deposition of drug-loaded nanoparticles within the skin structure has been a challenge due to inexorable barrier function. Unless specific like liposomes and lipid-based related vesicles, most cannot penetrate epidermal layers by themselves. This is reason why microneedle-based systems are nowadays straightforward in research. They can greatly bypass stratum corneum deposit supramolecular cargo entities dermal layers, which perform features such as drug-controlled release, targeting or...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) and psoriasis are the most common chronic inflammatory skin disorders, which importantly affect quality of life patients who suffer them. Among other causes, nitric oxide has been reported as part triggering factors in pathogenesis both conditions. Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) shown efficacy a scavenger some clinical trials have given positive outcomes its use for treating pathologies. Passive diffusion is possible only drugs with low molecular weights intermediate...

<b><i>Aims:</i></b> The influence of nanoencapsulation mometasone furoate (MF) in poly(ε-caprolactone) lipid-core nanocapsules (LNC) on its vitro human skin permeation and penetration was evaluated. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Semisolid formulations were prepared by increasing the viscosity LNC using a carbomer (Carbopol® Ultrez at 0.5% w/v). Two complementary techniques (the static Franz diffusion cell model Saarbrücken model) used to evaluate...

An increased interest in colonic drug delivery has led to a higher focus on the design of devices targeting this part gastrointestinal tract. Microcontainers have previously facilitated an increase oral bioavailability drugs. The surface texture and shape microcontainers proven influence mucoadhesion ex vivo. In present work, these findings were further investigated using situ closed-loop perfusion technique rat colon, which allowed for simultaneous evaluation as well absorption....
