The precise size control of the lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based nanodrug delivery system (DDS) carriers, such as 10 nm tuning LNPs, is one major challenge for development next-generation nanomedicines. Size-controlled LNPs would realize size-selective tumor targeting and deliver DNA RNA to target tissues effectively by passing through stromal cells. Herein, we developed a baffle mixer device named invasive production device, or iLiNP short, which has simple two-dimensional microchannel...
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) or liposomes are the most widely used drug carriers for nanomedicines. The size of LNPs is one essential factors affecting delivery efficiency and therapeutic efficiency. Here, we demonstrated effect lipid concentration mixing performance on LNP using microfluidic devices with aim understanding formation mechanism controlling precisely.

Microfluidic methodologies for preparation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) based on an organic solvent injection method enable precise size control the LNPs. After LNPs, needs some post-treatments, such as overnight dialysis or direct dilution with a buffer solution. LNP production using microfluidic-based is dominated by kinetics rather than thermodynamics. Kinetics ethanol removal from inner and outer membranes LNPs could induce structural change in membrane that lead to fusion However,...
Microfluidic devices are widely used in lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based vaccines and nanomedicine research. These should be stiff enough to withstand the high flow rate for mass production of LNPs, malleable use when fabricating complicated microchannel or micromixer structures, such as staggering herringbone micromixers. Due limitations available fabrication methods, optimal microfluidic have not yet been developed. In this study, we report development a glass-based device based on invasive...
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are essential carrier particles in drug delivery systems, particularly ribonucleic acid delivery. In preparing lipid-based nanoparticles, microfluidic-based ethanol injection may produce precisely size-controlled nanoparticles. Ethanol is critical LNP formation and post-treatment processes affects liposome size, structure, lamellarity, drug-loading efficiency. However, the effects of time-dependent changes concentration on structural dynamics liposomes not clearly...
Abstract ZIt was found that, in the presence of TiCl4,1-trimethylsiloxy-1,3-butadiene (II) reacts with acetals(I) to give δ-alkoxy-δ,β-unsaturated aldehydes good yields. This reaction provides a novel method for introduction of–CH2–CH=CH-CHO unit an electrophile as acetal activated by TiCl4.
This paper describes a simple and instrument-free screen-printing method to fabricate hydrophilic channels by patterning polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) onto chromatography paper. Clearly recognizable border lines were formed between hydrophobic areas. The minimum width of the printed channel deliver an aqueous sample was 600 μm, as obtained this method. Fabricated microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) tested for several colorimetric assays pH, glucose, protein in both buffer...
The combination of a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) and digital image analysis is widely used for quantitative with μPADs because its easy simple operation.

Lithium carbonate is an effective medicine for the treatment of bipolar disorder, but concentration lithium in patient's blood must be frequently monitored because its toxicity. To date, no colorimetric methods ion detection whole without pretreatment have been reported. Here, we report a paper-based device that allows point-of-care testing one step. This composed two elements linked to each other: cell separation unit and unit. After portion has placed on end unit, plasma sample...
