Biodegradable nanoparticles penetrate mucosal surfaces
Mucus secretions play an important role in the immune system by immobilizing foreign particles and neutralizing invading pathogens. The protective effect of these slippery linings that coat the eyes, airways, and other organs, however, prevents the effective delivery of therapeutics. Benjamin Tang et al. developed a biodegradable nanoparticle that may be able to penetrate thick mucus layers, in...
متن کاملDo intentions for action penetrate visual experience?
A now-famous study by Aglioti et al. (1995) involves a graspable version of the Ebbinghaus illusion (Figure 1). Aglioti and colleagues constructed a 3D version of the illusion, using thin solid disks. Subjects were asked to pick up the central disk on the left if the two central disks appeared identical in size, and to pick up the central disk on the right if they appeared different in size. Th...
متن کاملEngineered nanoparticles interacting with cells: size matters
With the rapid advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology, detailed knowledge of interactions between engineered nanomaterials and cells, tissues and organisms has become increasingly important, especially in regard to possible hazards to human health. This review intends to give an overview of current research on nano-bio interactions, with a focus on the effects of NP size on their interac...
متن کاملHow much do antiretroviral drugs penetrate into the central nervous system?
The central nervous system can act as a compartment in which HIV can replicate independently from plasma, and also as a sanctuary in which, under suboptimal drug pressure, HIV antiretroviral genetic variants can occur. Continuous replication of HIV in brain can contribute to neurocognitive impairment. Therefore, reaching adequate concentrations of antiretrovirals in the central nervous system m...
متن کاملSelenium nanoparticles inclusion into chitosan hydrogels act as a chemical inducer for differentiation of PC12 cells into neuronal cells
Background and Objective: Biomaterials and nanomaterials have generated a great opportunity in regenerative medicine. Neurological disorders can result in permanent and severe derangement in motor and sensory functions. This study was conducted to examine the effects of selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) as a chemical inducer for differentiation of PC12 cells into sympathetic-like neurons characte...
