A self-contained, programmable microfluidic cell culture system with real-time microscopy access.
Utilizing microfluidics is a promising way for increasing the throughput and automation of cell biology research. We present a complete self-contained system for automated cell culture and experiments with real-time optical read-out. The system offers a high degree of user-friendliness, stability due to simple construction principles and compactness for integration with standard instruments. Fu...
متن کاملA Self-microemulsifying Drug Delivery System (smedds)
The oral delivery of lipophilic drugs presents a major challenge because of the low aqueous solubility of such compounds. Selfmicroemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDSs) have gained exposure for their ability to increase solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. SMEDDS, which are isotropic mixtures of oils, surfactants, solvents and co-solvents/surfactants, can be used for th...
متن کاملSolid Sirolimus Self-microemulsifying Drug Delivery System: Development and Evaluation of Tablets with Sustained Release Property
The clinical application of sirolimus (SRL) as an immunosuppressive agent is largely hampered by its narrow therapeutic range. This study focused on developing SRL tablets with a sustained release profile for better safety. SRL was highly water insoluble and its solubility has been efficiently enhanced by preparing self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS). The SRL-SMEDDS was physical...

متن کاملHalting hemorrhage with self-propelling particles and local drug delivery
Approaches to locally deliver drugs to specific regions of the body are being developed for many clinical applications, including treating hemorrhage. Increasing the concentration of therapeutic coagulants in areas where clots are forming and growing can be achieved by directing them to the injury, such as with catheters or external delivery devices, or by systemically administering therapeutic...
