Recent Advances in Nanomaterials for Dermal and Transdermal Applications

Recent Advances in Nanomaterials for Gene Delivery—A Review

With the rapid development of nanotechnology in the recent decade, novel DNA and RNA delivery systems for gene therapy have become available that can be used instead of viral vectors. These non-viral vectors can be made of a variety of materials, including inorganic nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, liposomes, protein and peptide-based nanoparticles, as well as nanoscale polymeric materials. The...

Recent Advances in EMG Pattern Recognition for Prosthetic Control

Ultrasound-enhanced transdermal delivery: recent advances and future challenges.

The skin is a formidable diffusion barrier that restricts passive diffusion to small (<500 Da) lipophilic molecules. Methods used to permeabilize this barrier for the purpose of drug delivery are maturing as an alternative to oral drug delivery and hypodermic injections. Ultrasound can reversibly and non-invasively permeabilize the diffusion barrier posed by the skin. This review discusses the ...

Recent Advances in Biomedical Applications

As widely experimented in research and in real world application, the biomedical field is experimenting different innovations, which are associated with the contamination with the knowledge of other research branches, such as material science, engineering, biological systems, and informatics. Different technical journals proposed special issues in recent years on applications of special technol...

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...
