Study on the Composite with Sequential and Sustained Release of Multiple Growth Factors for Bone Repair

Liao Y., Liu T.Y., Institute of Biomedical Engineering, National Yang-Ming University, TW

In this study, a PLGA/PVA microsphere and a chitosan-based hydrogel loading FITC were prepared to be a composite. The encapsulation of FITC in PLGA/PVA microspheres and the bonding of crosslink in chitosan-based hydrogel were confirmed. [...]

Study of protoporphyrin IX-loaded silica hollow spheres for Photodynamic therapy

Tseng G-H, Liu T.Y., National Yang-Ming University of Taiwan, TW

In this study, PpIX was loaded in the shell of silica hollow sphere with the expectation that PpIX-loaded silica hollow spheres (PpIX-SHS) might be employed as a PDT agent with ultrasound image contrast. The PpIX-loaded [...]

Study on the polymeric nanosphere with imaging functionality

Lin M-H, Liu T.Y., Institute of Biomedical Engineering, National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, 112 Taiwan (ROC), TW

The aim of this research was to develop a novel contrast agent with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, fluorescent imaging and drug encapsulation functionalities. The zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticleswas prepared [...]

Study on the novel drug vehicle with multimodal imaging function

Wu P.J., Liu T.Y., Institute of Biomedical Engineering, National Yang-Ming University of Taiwan (ROC), TW

Recently, in order to combine diagnosis with therapy in a single box, drug delivery systems (DDSs) associating with imaging functions were developed to improve the efficacy of diseases detection, delivery of therapeutic agents, and the [...]
