Drugs with low water solubility are predisposed to low and variable oral bioavailability and,
therefore, to variability in clinical response. Despite significant efforts to “design in” …

This article deals with recent progress including the author's work in the field of block
copolymer self-assembly in solution and on solid surfaces. The synthesis methods for …

We have developed a novel water-dispersible oleic acid (OA)-Pluronic-coated iron oxide
magnetic nanoparticle formulation that can be loaded easily with high doses of water …

Three drugs, ibuprofen, aspirin, and erythromycin, are encapsulated in spherical Pluronic
F127 micelles. The shapes and the size distributions of the micelles in dilute, aqueous …

The low solubility in biological fluids displayed by about 50% of the drugs still remains the
main limitation in oral, parenteral, and transdermal administration. Among the existing …

Introduction: Nanostructured delivery vehicles can address key challenges facing drug
delivery, including the lipophilic nature of therapeutic compounds and their effective …

The ability to find synergic solutions is the core of scientific research and scientific
advancement. This is particularly true for medicine, where multimodal imaging and …

Purpose To develop an in situ gel system comprising liposome-containing paclitaxel (PTX)
dispersed within the thermoreversible gel (Pluronic® F127 gel) for controlled release and …

Digital microfluidics (DMF) is a promising technique for carrying out miniaturized, automated
biochemical assays in which discrete droplets of reagents are actuated on the surface of an …

Ordered mesoporous carbon rods have been obtained in high yield using silica rods as
templates. The inorganic salts that are used for the synthesis of the silica templates control …
