aspartic acid; biocompatibility; biodegradability; blood; composite polymers; drug carriers; drugs; hydrophilicity; hydrophobic bonding; hydrophobicity; lysine; micelles; moieties; polyglutamic acid
Abstract:
... Core–shell structured micelles produced from an amphiphilic block copolymer are promising drug delivery vehicles because their hydrophobic core can encapsulate hydrophobic drugs through hydrophobic interactions and their hydrophilic shell can prolong their circulation in the blood. However, the low cargo capacity and the lack of stability in the blood are major problems associated with micellar dr ...

Abstract:
... The ability to estimate the diffusion coefficient of a solute within hydrogels has important application in the design and analysis of hydrogels used in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. A number of mathematical models have been derived for this purpose; however, they often rely on fitted parameters and so have limited predictive capability. Herein we assess the ability ...

Abstract:
... Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation pathway that protects cancer cells from multiple endogenous and extraneous stresses, particularly during the pathogenesis of cancer. An autophagic balance exists in the tumour microenvironment. Appropriate disturbance to this balance may have therapeutic potential. Here, we report a novel antitumour strategy based on an autophagic catastrophic vacuolisation eff ...

Angiogenesis is well recognized as a pivotal process in tumor progression from the very early premalignant stages, thus making it an important target in cancer chemoprevention as well as in cancer treatment. In the present study, we introduce a recently developed oral heparin conjugate (LHTD4) for use as an inhibitor of angiogenesis and evaluate its therapeutic and preventive effects in two differ ...

Abstract:
... Antigen-specific CD8⁺ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are key elements of immunological rejection in transplantation as well as cancer immunotherapy. Most tumors, however, are not immunologically rejected because they have self antigens, which are not recognized as the foreigner by CTLs. In this study, we hypothesized that “foreignizing” tumor cells by delivering non-self foreign antigens into the ...

This work reports an injectable system of hollow microspheres (HMs) that can rapidly produce localized heat activated by near-infrared (NIR) light and control the release of an antibiotic via a “molecular switch” in their polymer shells, as a combination strategy for treating subcutaneous abscesses. The HMs have a shell ...

Abstract:
... Millions of Americans suffer from dry eye disease, and there are few effective therapies capable of treating these patients. A decade ago, an abundant protein component of human tears was discovered and named lacritin (Lacrt). Lacrt has prosecretory activity in the lacrimal gland and mitogenic activity at the corneal epithelium. Similar to other proteins placed on the ocular surface, the durabilit ...
