Novel Resorbable Drug-Carrying Nano-Scaffolds for Treating Bone Diseases at Targeted Sites

Liu H., Webster T.J., Brown University, US

Pharmaceutical agents are often required to stimulate new bone formation for the treatment of bone injuries or diseases (such as osteoporosis and osteosarcoma). However, there are several problems associated with current drug delivery methods. First, [...]

Novel Biphasic Hydrogels for Controlled Drug Delivery

Parvathy V., University of Queensland, AU

The current methods of drug delivery exhibit specific problems in designing a carrier for long-term release. Our aim is to fabricate biphasic hydrogels of predetermined molecular weights as carriers for long-term drug delivery. The rate [...]

A Novel Biodegradable System Based on BSA/PCL Core-shell Structured Nanofibers for Controlled Drug Delivery

Feng Y., Zhang Y.Z., Yong T., Ramakrishna S., National University of Singapore, SG

Electrospun core-shell structured nanofibers encapsulating BSA were explored as a potential drug delivery model in a biological system in present study. These nanofibers were prepared by coaxial electrospinning method with poly (caprolactone) (PCL) as the [...]
