Journal ArticleDOI
Singlet Oxygen Quenching by Dietary Carotenoids in a Model Membrane Environment
TL;DR: The formation of aggregates by the polar carotenoids is proposed to be of significance in their ability to quench singlet oxygen, and their influence on the properties of the lipid membrane is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skin penetration and cellular uptake of amorphous silica nanoparticles with variable size, surface functionalization, and colloidal stability.
Fiorenza Rancan,Qi Gao,Christina Graf,Stefan Troppens,Sabrina Hadam,Steffen Hackbarth,Cynthia Kembuan,Ulrike Blume-Peytavi,Eckart Rühl,Jürgen Lademann,Annika Vogt +10 more
TL;DR: Despite partial particle aggregation occurring after transfer in physiological media, particles were taken up by skin cells in a size-dependent manner, and functionalization of the particle surface with positively charged groups enhanced the in vitro cellular uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of Polylactic Acid (PLA) Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Systems for Local Dermatotherapy
Fiorenza Rancan,Dimitrios Papakostas,Sabrina Hadam,Steffen Hackbarth,Thierry Delair,Charlotte Primard,Bernard Verrier,Wolfram Sterry,Ulrike Blume-Peytavi,Annika Vogt +9 more
TL;DR: Investigation of biodegradable poly-lactic acid (PLA) particles loaded with fluorescent dyes as carriers for transepidermal drug delivery suggests that particles based on PLA polymers may be ideal carriers for hair follicle and sebaceous gland targeting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoparticles in dermatology.
TL;DR: This review aims to give an overview of the most investigated applications of transcutaneously applied particle-based formulations in the fields of cosmetics and dermatology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Functionalization of Silica Nanoparticles Supports Colloidal Stability in Physiological Media and Facilitates Internalization in Cells
Christina Graf,Qi Gao,Irene Schütz,Christelle Njiki Noufele,Wentao Ruan,Uta Posselt,Elena Korotianskiy,Daniel Nordmeyer,Fiorenza Rancan,Sabrina Hadam,Annika Vogt,Jürgen Lademann,Volker Haucke,Eckart Rühl +13 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that a high colloidal stability of nanoparticles combined with an initial charge-driven adsorption on the cell membrane is essential for efficient cellular uptake.
