Liposome-based diagnostic and therapeutic applications for pancreatic cancer
Raza, Faisal; Evans, Lauren; Motallebi, Mahzad; Zafar, Hajra; Pereira-Silva, Miguel; Saleem, Kalsoom; Peixoto, Diana; Rahdar, Abbas; Sharifi, EsmaeelPancreatic cancer is one of the harshest and most challenging cancers to treat, often labeled as incurable. Chemotherapy continues to be the most popular treatment yet yields a very poor prognosis. The main barriers such as inefficient drug penetration and drug resistance, have led to the development of drug car- rier systems. The benefits, ease of fabrication and modification of liposomes render them as ideal ...
Dermatological Bioactivities of Resveratrol and Nanotechnology Strategies to Bo...
Mascarenhas-Melo, Filipa; Araújo, André Gonçalves; Rodrigues, Márcio; Mathur, Ankita; Gonçalves, Maria Beatriz S.; Tanwar, Kalpita; Heidarizadeh, FaribaResveratrol is a polyphenolic phytoalexin, whose main natural sources are red grapes, red wine, berries, and peanuts. When applied to the skin, resveratrol evidences a good penetrating capacity and low degradation compared to the oral route, allowing for a longer and improved topical effect. This bioactive molecule has been gaining interest in dermo-pharmacy and cosmetics for the prevention and treatment of ski...
Cyclodextrin-based dermatological formulations: Dermopharmaceutical and cosmeti...
Ferreira, Laura; Mascarenhas-Melo, Filipa; Rabaça, Sofia; Mathur, Ankita; Sharma, Ankur; Giram, Prabhanjan S.; Pawar, Kiran D.; Rahdar, AbbasThe progress in new delivery systems for active ingredients has boosted the dermopharmaceutical and cosmetic fields by allowing formulations to display enhanced skin permeation capabilities. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides able to form host-guest inclusion complexes with guest active molecules, resulting in improved physicochemical properties of such molecules. The incorporation of CDs in dermop...
