Macroalgal polysaccharides in biomimetic nanodelivery systems
(
Bentham Science Publishers
, 2019 , Article Review)
Background: Imitating nature in the design of bio-inspired drug delivery systems resulted in several success stories. However, the practical application of biomimicry is still largely unrealized owing to the fact that we ...
Impaired cross-talk between NO and hyperpolarization in myoendothelial feedback: a novel therapeutic target in early endothelial dysfunction of metabolic disease
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article Review)
Over the past three decades, our view of the endothelium rapidly evolved from a static lining of the blood vessels to a dynamic determinant and regulator of vascular tone and homeostasis. It is now widely accepted that ...
Retinal cell regeneration using tissue engineered polymeric scaffolds
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article Review)
Degenerative retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), can lead to permanent sight loss. Although intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and steroid injections are effective for ...
