Impact of Particle Size and Polydispersity Index on the Clinical Applications of Lipidic Nanocarrier Systems

M. Danaei, M. Dehghankhold, Shahla Ataei et al. · 18 May 2018

Lipid-based drug delivery systems, or lipidic carriers, are being extensively employed to enhance the bioavailability of poorly-soluble drugs. They have the ability to incorporate both lipophilic and hydrophilic molecules and protecting them against degradation in vitro and in vivo. There is a number of physical attributes of lipid-based nanocarriers that determine their safety, stability, efficacy,…

Liposomal Formulations in Clinical Use: An Updated Review

Upendra Bulbake, Sindhu Doppalapudi, Nagavendra Kommineni et al. · 27 Mar 2017

Liposomes are the first nano drug delivery systems that have been successfully translated into real-time clinical applications. These closed bilayer phospholipid vesicles have witnessed many technical advances in recent years since their first development in 1965. Delivery of therapeutics by liposomes alters their biodistribution profile, which further enhances the therapeutic index of various drugs. Extensive…

Skin Wound Healing Process and New Emerging Technologies for Skin Wound Care and Regeneration

Erika Maria Tottoli, Rossella Dorati, Ida Genta et al. · 5 Aug 2020

Skin wound healing shows an extraordinary cellular function mechanism, unique in nature and involving the interaction of several cells, growth factors and cytokines. Physiological wound healing restores tissue integrity, but in many cases the process is limited to wound repair. Ongoing studies aim to obtain more effective wound therapies with the intention of reducing inpatient…

Photodynamic Therapy Review: Principles, Photosensitizers, Applications, and Future Directions

J. H. Correia, José A. Rodrigues, Sara Pimenta et al. · 25 Aug 2021

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive therapeutic modality that has gained great attention in the past years as a new therapy for cancer treatment. PDT uses photosensitizers that, after being excited by light at a specific wavelength, react with the molecular oxygen to create reactive oxygen species in the target tissue, resulting in cell…
